Scrappy Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've watched these before & Trent Edwards was on there looking like a hero, so with a grain of salt here I go. Fairley had to do several things physically & did them all well but one really caught my eye. He had to tackle a QB dummy that was standing still, he hit it with 3,596 Lbs of force. Yeah, I'm not joking. Unless I'm crazy, that's like getting hit by a car. I'm not advocating taking the guy because of this but that is pretty freaking impressive.

I can hit it with 3,597 pounds of force so not all that impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Dareus was on sports science and his hit generated over 3800 lbs of force. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6402899 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 If they did this with every NFL defensive lineman I bet the difference wouldn't be that great. These sports science things can be interesting but they can also make the results of their tests say whatever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 If they could all get to hit a QB dummy that was standing still, Aaron Maybin would be a star. I wonder how he did on that drill & did it convince Jauron to draft him instead of looking at him chasing moving players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Perhaps more accurately, Maybin can get pancaked with 3800 lbs of force, or deposit his stolen check into the bank teller's hand with 3800 lbs of force...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hansen Forever Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 If they could all get to hit a QB dummy that was standing still, Aaron Maybin would be a star. I wonder how he did on that drill & did it convince Jauron to draft him instead of looking at him chasing moving players. Perhaps...but only if they were tied to a small pole and were dead and weren't able to twist their head to fool him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
