Einstein

It has come full circle lol.

He was inbounds. This is the NFL. You have to catch this. Far too many of you think that any catch that isn’t right in your chest is just uncatchable. No. You have to catch this in the NFL.

Allen? Misses them? I truly do not understand the thinking of some of you.

Starting to become worried about Coleman’s hands. Thats the 2nd straight week with a drop right in his hands.

Could have driven a 747 through that hole.

And the quick pass has to be something other than a WR screen every time. Our only hot route is a screen.

Enough of the stupid WR screens. Defenses are ready for it

lol WHAT?

I am 100% on board with a Metcalf trade.

what is with none of our WR’s ever being able to catch deep throws

Welp, Jets season is over.

Jets offense is somehow worse with Rodgers than Zach Wilson.

Did he? I certainly didn’t notice. We moved the ball a slight bit more in the second half but that was mainly Allen throwing to blanketed Coleman who was making good catches. It was an awful game for Brady.

These type of sudden zoning changes often come because the deal to build something is already done. You just don’t know about it.

Nah, they were just bored and thought: “Hey guys, let’s fug around and change the zoning laws to 4 stories around the stadium.” … and then another board member said “We have absolutely nothing planned to go there, but that sounds like a great idea Frank!”

Should have been MVP last year too. But this is a good start.

If we are talking crazy hypotheticals, i’d rather have Metcalf.

Hamlin has been doing this day 1

The numbers the experts gave you are perfectly fine - they match my numbers (outside of a rounding artifact due to yardage). You incorrectly stated 22.5 at first, which is why I said my numbers were off. Once someone corrected your number, I saw that my numbers matched. In other words - the numbers are fine. The problem is your understanding of the numbers. You are misinterpreting what the experts are telling you, which is causing an issue. Correct! His top speed over a fraction of a second was 21.3. His average speed was 17-something (I don’t have my calculations on me at the moment to give you the decimal). This becomes instantaneous velocity and average velocity (respectively), once we add direction. Now let’s see if you learned anything - what is more important? The 21.3 or the 17? Which matters more in determining how fast a player is running throughout a full ‘race’? Remember: Top instantaneous velocity is NOT how fast you are going over the course of a run. It is how fast you were going for 0.0001% of that run.

Very true.

With kindness - you don’t know what you are writing. A layman arguing physics with a physics person is often a disaster because the layman doesn’t know that they are wrong but are so often confident that they are right. By vertical, I think you mean he wasn’t running perfectly parallel to the sideline from the start of the calculation to the end. I’m aware of that, and it’s factored into the calculation. His angle (theta) is accounted for by breaking down his velocity into x (parallel to the sideline) and y (downfield) vector components. As for the comment about top speed and instantaneous velocity - it’s clear you don’t know what instantaneous velocity is. It is NOT the players velocity at the start of a run lol. It also has nothing to do with the time it takes to reach max velocity. It can be measured at any point the player reaches peak. Start, middle, or end. It’s true that a player may take time to reach their top speed, especially in longer runs, but the highest velocity at any point *is* their top instantaneous velocity. Put simply - you are not using it correctly. Take 2 cars: The red car has a top instantaneous velocity of 250mph. The blue car has a top instantaneous velocity of 125mph. The IV is calculated at 0.345 seconds. The red car has an average velocity over 100m of 120mph. The blue car has an average velocity over 100m on 125mph. Who wins the race? The blue car wins, even though the red car has double the top instantaneous velocity. When posting stats like “X player had Y mph!”, people don’t realize what they’re saying. It has nothing to do with overall speed. It’s instantaneous velocity at a fraction of a second. They could easily still lose that race because it does not mean overall speed.

No! That is not how this works. You don’t have to match an instantaneous velocity to beat someone in a race. And he certainly didn’t. He never gained on him - he actually lost ground. The dots have very little precision.

Ok thats (21.29) much closer to my calculation. Someone else said 22-something which isn’t right. But Chase Daniel is wrong in his interpretation. This is instantaneous velocity. Not speed. Worthy didn’t run slower - he just never reached an instantaneous velocity as high as Henry. This whole country needs to take a physics class because everyone always gets this wrong. His velocity over the entire run was in the 17.2(ish) range. Taking a split second velocity is not indicative of his speed on the run.

Where did you read that? Highest I calculated him at was 20.45mph. They must be taking a split second of instant velocity that rapidly diminished. It’s like capturing a tiny moment of time where he reaches that but doesn’t maintain it at all. His average velocity was 17mph, and his sustained high was around 18.

I was also interested in this and ran the math on it yesterday. He accelerated considerably throughout the run. Once he passed his own 30 yard line, the it took 8.42 seconds for him to reach the endzone. That is 8.31 yards per second. Extrapolated over 40 yards, and he ran the equivalent of a 4.8 40 yard dash. You would think one DB would catch him. If Henry has a 2-yard lead and is running a 4.81 40-yard dash, while a defensive back runs a 4.5, we can determine how long it will take for the DB to catch up by calculating relative speed. Henry’s speed is about 8.32 yards per second, given that he covers 40 yards in 4.81 seconds. The DB, running a 4.5-second 40, is moving at 8.89 yards per second. One our DB’s, if they can run a 4.5, should have gained on Henry at a relative net speed of 0.57 yards per second. With Henry’s 2-yard lead, it should take a DB about 3.51 seconds to close the 2-yard gap and catch up to Henry. But they didn’t. Over those first 30 yards (past the 30), he was moving at 10 yards per second and covered his acceleration over the last 40 with the sum of the 70 total was nearly 0.57 yards per second squared.
