All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
» WR Limas Sweed (6-4 ¼, 210): Ran the 40 in 4.50 and 4.51, had a 37 ½-inch vertical jump, 10-foot, 8-inch long jump, 4.33 short shuttle, 7.14 cone drill, ran position drills and looked good catching the ball.
Nice numbers.
Faster than Jerry Rice, slower than Scott Mayle.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
SWEED'S PRO DAY 40 TIME NOT BETTER: Texas WR Limas Sweed didn't help himself at his pro day clocking a 4.5 40-time. Speed is his one drawback and he actually ran slightly slower than his 4.48 time at the combine. He did have a solid 37 1/2-inch vertical which was 2 1/2 inches better than at the combine. He also had a very good 10'8" broad jump, which is a good indicator for explosion. I don't think he leapfrogged Thomas or Kelly with that 40-time however. ---
TEXAS TE HELPS HIS STOCK: While Limas Sweed didn't do much to boost his draft stock his teammate TE Jermichael Finley did a lot to help himself. After running just a 4.82 at the combine he shattered that number with a 4.66 at the Texas pro day. That's very good for a 6'5" 240-pound TE, and is not far behind Dustin Keller (4.55) considered the most athletic TE in the class though not the best. ---
