Insane rushing stat - ColtFreaks.com

Just heard on 1070 morning show. ESPN keeps a stat about yards before initial contact. Last night they have us at 7.2 yards before contact. Highest they have measured since they started keeping this stat.

The Jets suck, but they are supposed to have a decent Dline.

Good job OL!

Taylor’s vision and decision making are also insane

His acceleration is what gets me. He was a bullet through the hole on that big run last night. So fast even the announcer said wow as he shot through and then pulled away.

That’s what jumps out to me too. When he sees a crease, it’s like Buck said, he’s gone. And there’s no running him down. That puts an insane amount of pressure on the defense on every run.

His biggest improvement from last year to now is by far his vision.

Also helps if he isn’t touched till the second or third level.

Somewhere I read he was clocked at over 22mph on that run. Insane.

As a track guy, it doesn't see as impressive. Bolt was over 27 MPH on his WR 100 meters. However, when you put in football terms, it is lightning fast.

Did he do it with pads and a helmet on after being hit by 200 to 300 lb men all night on field turf?

Bolts is ridiculous fast. Although I doubt he runs 27 mph in pads, helmet and football cleats.
