[QUOTE="00Burdell, post: 931096, member: 5"] Most of quickness is mental. There is obviously the regimen of focusing training to develop and strengthen fast-twitch fibers but most football quickness is a function of how long it takes the defender to figure out where the football is going (whether pass or run). You can see this during a game by going super slo-mo and watching when players "make the break" for the ball. Charlie Thomas broke very soon after the snap whereas players who may be as quick as Thomas broke later - took them longer to process the dynamics and plot a course. Watch how a hawk catches a mouse in an open field when the mouse is darting left and right. That is more about recognition and anticipation than physical quickness (although the absense of physical quickness makes the recognition a moot point). And getting back to OP, its a bit early to wonder how good this staff is. Honestly, you can have the best individual coaches ever but its also about how well they work together. Faulker and Weinke are, I would suggest, excellent coaches. But if they are on completely different pages when it comes to which play to call on third-and-six from our own 11 yard line, all that talent is down the drain. [/QUOTE]
