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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Wow! Long article isn't it. Sounds like a good guy. I notice it said he was timed at 4.5. I know in the post season his time has usually been listed at around 4.62 which is pretty slow for a WR. Maybe Willis McGahee can get him to adopt his training regimen for increasing his leg strength and speed. McGahee (when healthy) reportedly pulls pickup trucks. Supposedly McGahee dropped his 40 time down to 4.28, and is showed in his running. Lack of speed is Aiken's main drawback. If he could drop his 40 time into the 4.4 range, he'd bee that much more dangerous.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
i really dont think eric moulds is a 4.4 runner. i think their are tons of guys that have been good receivers that have run in the 4.5 range.. he obviously has football speed.
i just dont think that every WR in the nfl runs a 4.4 or below. moulds, owens, conway, troy brown, chambers.. none of those guys are sub 4.4 guys.. i just dont see one tenth of a second being a big deal.. either he gets open or not.

I agree T. Unless you have blazing speed, which can give you a psychological edge over the DB, I don't think speed really makes a big difference. As soon as the DB can move fast enough to keep up with you, I think your route-running is what gets you open.
I never watched Aiken play, but I hope he runs routes as well as advertised.
I forget which coach it was, but they brought up Jerry Rice. Jerry Rice didn't have the real fast 40 time, but you never saw anyone catch him once he broke open. A lot of the real speed issues are related to quickness. Andre Reed was another good example.
I still think we could use a burner just to keep the defense honest, but having a low 40 time isn't everything.
