[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9181593, member: 19675"] There’s a [I]huge[/I] difference between freely dashing in more or less in straight line and maintaining that kind of speed when changing direction to cover more or less of a circle, [I]especially[/I] when being opposed by persons intent on stopping you from doing whatever it is you intend. Sticking with the football analogy in your post, take the fastest defensive lineman you want and see how long it takes him to cover the 10 yards to a quarterback when actually opposed by only 2 offensive linemen. It will take them almost as much time to cover 30 or so FEET as it does for them to dash 40 yards. Here’s J.J. Watt beating a double-team to get a sack. It takes him about 4 seconds to reach the QB.
