Taylor Mays 40 Time (4.43) is very wrong - Page 2

It's pretty clear that all of the Mays hate is nothing more than Mecca hate. Otherwise people just really don't know what they're watching. That play with Jahvid Best says it best.

Pretty much. For some reason, I see Taylor Mays going to the Steelers in the draft and he'll be a huge pickup for them.

Maybe. I know I would be equally happy with Berry or Mays.

That clip OTWP posted is pretty ridiculous. Mays is an athletic freak, no doubt about that.

Look how easy Mays made that look. He took the guy down with a brush of his arm.

**BossChief** · 03-03-2010, 11:07 PM

If we were picking 10, he would likely be in my sig.

Mecca is a douche!!111!

I do want to post this on here before I get blasted: I like Taylor Mays. He's a great, great 2nd round pick for pure upside. But I just don't think he's someone you draft in the top 15 based on Safety ability.

In that clip, though, the RB isn't going full speed upfield. He's just running sideways, pointed kinda forward. Not saying Mays is slow, but that was a bit deceiving considering the RB wasn't running in a straight line while Mays was.

Not to math-dork out here, but if you have two guys who measure similar 40 times, and both are running towards one point.. if one starts 15 feet behind that point (5 yards-- J.Best as HB), and the other starts 5 feet behind that point (1.6yd --TMays).. and they meet one yard before the LOS.. how does that really prove anything? It's straight-line speed, and it's about what you'd expect.. nothing a safety's expected to do is displayed there. I just don't understand how that's a compliment to Mays as a safety.

Cause the clips below is what we currently have.... I'll let you compare the angle of attack by our esteemed Mr. Brown, to that of Mays....

Watch these, and tell me that a competent speedy safety like Berry or Mays wouldn't make a considerable difference in the defense.

I love those gifs. On safety, we can agree: Glenn Dorsey could take a shit and throw it at a player and have a better chance of tackling the runner than Mike Brown. We need to address safety; if it's #5, it better be Berry. If Mays is available at 2a, take him. But he projects between there, and I think it'll be a bad decision for a team to use a first on him. Top of the second is about where he belongs-- take players based on raw upside (many of these players are just a few lingering questions from being in the first-- see: Flowers, Brandon).

I should have placed this in the OP, but I posted the video of Mays running more as a concern that they could **** up that big at the combine.

I am sure that posting a 4.32~ instead of a 4.43 is a big difference to a lot of coaches, so I hope the combine sends around a correction or something. This could potentially cost Mays a lot of money for something that is not his fault.
