FSN Sport Science. Episode 1 - Chad Johnson Jerry Rice

[JDev82]

you dont get a running start on your vertical test chad.

[SuperMhouston]

@JDev82 but u get a running start in a real game thats why i think they did that

[BBall0027]

Holy crap, Jerry Rice is 49 years old and, if he wanted to, he could still be a great receiver. I would pick him as a good 3rd or 4th target, maybe second if my other receivers were really bad.

[TimHowardII]

Calvin Johnson could blow their stats off the charts.

[Gater1348]

<3 Jerry Rice

[ThePoWerofthefitz2]

lol they tested fitz with that too but he did it with ONE hand

[Imastuducksfan21]

He could still be good if he wasn't inasing

[TheCrazyItalian14]

im not sitting on a sofa silly goose 7:10

[BAMF7000]

you could have just said "its cause they're black "

[Deegotron2000]

i think id rather throw to Fitz

[Isaiah2123]

Jerry rice is unbelevible he like 50 and he looks like he could still be in the nfl thumbs up if you agree

[ImperialMusik]

@Isaiah2123 Because as an athlete should during retirement, he still works out sometimes, e.g. Mike Tyson & of course Jerry Rice

[nikepumps123]

never knew elephants coulndt move...

[BLong114]

The problem is that a wide receiver is almost always on the move in a certain direction. Thus he cannot cover behind him, straight up, or to his left or right in a dead sprint while running a route. that is why QB's miss, he has to put the ball out in front of the WR and not too far to his left or right due to momentum. A WR never stands still like Chad did in the test, so it basically isn't relevant to the game. The range is still insane, I'd choose an elephant in a game situation though.

[Duhitpt]

oh hell no i would get the elephant! the elephant catch the ball and all have to do is rush in!

[insaneguy1509]

they can do all these calcuations but dont know im not sitting on a couch

[losangelescardinals]

4:53 you'd think with hands stuff Cris Carter should have been there, no offense to Jerry.

[indianajonesfan247]

is it just me, or did that elephant just die?

[LukeWhitaker]

i like how they had to insult me with the sofa jab

[leafsrthebombshiznit]

sgo ocho!

[conan35]

Sports Science validates Jerry hands as the best of all time!.

[StealthyEval]

Ocho and Rice nice.

[m249saw1000]

3.16" the average male african savanah wtf??

[Scar2Hard]

Lol thier scientific analysis is "thats up there"

[majestik815]

Rice looks like he could start 2morrow if someone needed him.

[greytails]

oh shit...

[MRbossman1982]

JERRY RICE, the G.O.A.T GREATEST OFF ALL TIMES.

[0shardy0]

T-DUB's vert is way higher than any of theirs

[BecomeB]

@0shardy0 Or Jus Fly

[Soccerupdate]

Nice quality. They're talking doesn't even match their mouths

[Berg8891]

This was stupid.

[myboxrush]

"Our science analysis, thats up there."

[homeworksuks]

who are the highest fliers in sports?" high jumpers thats who

[jameshaynes3]

umm wheres colston

[firerustdragon]

@jameshaynes3

???

[robberg99]

whats with the dead baby elephant. doesnt make sense.

[MrThemess1ah]

The baby elephant died at :50!

[andypantz7007]

Yep. I saw that flash of Steve Smith. What a beast.

[e1123movie]

well an elephant doesn't has hands

[chuyuy10]

they shoulda brought vincent jackson

n dats a good testing place not miguel contreras

[nairblin]

wow. after watching 5 videos, I must say: these guys on sport science have no idea how to conduct thorough tests properly. They take only one base case and they assume it to be true in different situations.

(in this they should also consider that the displacement when jump straight up is greater than the displacement when jumping for something to the side)

[halofanatic123]

Did that elephant die at :56 ?

[nietstedoen]

i think i would go for the jumping elephant ;)

[sanjosesharksrock]

Don't use the elephant as wide reciever, use him as fullback

[MinerBoy42]

@sanjosesharksrock No a center.

[ryantimmins99]

this is obviously a no brainer because elephants cant catch

[Lubolly]

Did you ever see an elephant drop a pass?

[ghostboi199]

@Lubolly Did you see him catch one?

[nemke1990]

they should bring Nate Robinson or Randy Moss for vertical...

[StriderHiryu1200]

not fair. Randy Moss is like 6'4. yes he jumps high. but 6'4 will bring him over. 6'1 is a pretty good height to check out his vertical. i agree with nate robinson.

[34NEILSON]

orrin hes trying to say dont body catch. go block someone. lol

[orrin01]

whats with ocho and saying catch with youir hands, I'm an O-lineman and even I know to catch with your finger tips

[P4T1L33]

i always catch with my palm haha bad habit

[PRESTON58CENT]

Same here im a O-lineman and I catch really good.

[kenz1031]

should've put moss and rice in this episode

[dmcaps35]

a vertical leap is suppose to be straight up and down your not suppose to get a running step

[kenz1031]

yea I know right

[StriderHiryu1200]

running step? what are you talking about everyone does that.

[rolocopoand]

man if jerry rice could still take a hit. he could still play reciever

[foreignsteel]

Ochocinco

[lawrencetimmons94]

I'm not sitting on a sofa. LOL!

[Nofatchicks99]

i am lol

[max81291]

AFL would shit on NFL in this test

[dodoz44]

AFL >>> all ;D they're real badass

[slimd1995]

audio is waaay off.

[col17beast]

why not steve smith of panthers?

[wadogb2back]

they're not taking into account the amount of space that the defensive back can take up

[JR66108]

chad is shit compared to hines ward.

[ericindacut]

chad johnson is really cocky

[kazuya1196]

Refer to the man by his legal name, Ocho Cinco baby.

[vinniEscobar]

when I first heard: "so our question is: what's a bigger target? a wide reciever or an elephant"

it sounded like a scenario that would fit in an episode of southpark.

[toyoumygirll]

randy moss 2x better than chad

[dilbert8684]

fuck randy moss and chad hines ward is the best

[KingTray1000]

im a steelers fan n ward fan but he's jus lil short n underrated

[wheee1111]

hah, 1:32 the dude tosses the beer on Ocho Cinco

[CptBulldog]

Their research has a loop hole. The didnt have him in pads, so that might decrese his mobiltiy.

[mikeyABI]

hell yea dude.

i remember during summer workouts before we were allowed to wear pads it felt so easy to catch the ball, we all take it for granted once we got our pads however haha

[Aadonis219]

True, but game time, some people become super human. Just ask any body whos played against Jordan with the flu in the finals.

[CptBulldog]

I don't it would effect it much, but his reach would be a few inches less with the pass on.

[detroitman21]

@CptBulldog not really some people move better or different in pads

[masonberg]

@CptBulldog but what about adraline then?

[auddn0620]

@CptBulldog i understand what you are saying but i think they did it without pads on Ocho because all other sports doesn't wear any sort of pads like football does.

[evolution5773]

where is randy? moss would have jumped out of cameras view

[mashimarro22]

think they made this while randy was still in the raiders. moss wasnt so popular than

[hamsterman10123]

then wheres T.O

[salashaska223]

when I graduate from College and Medical School I am going to do this for my job!!!

[Davyjoneslocker7777]

Ocho Cinco is the TRUTH

[jake3207]

thats bad grammer man...hes my men?

[haslovetht]

Chad Johnson. Jerry Rice ... He's My Men! :)

[Hostilekid25]

thats BEAST! I wish i could jump that high, i would b a pretty good High Jumper (Field).

[cgarizona]

thats bullshit skwalker jumps higher chad got a running start skywalker did it while standing still

[MRbossman1982]

@cgarizona no chad ,jumped from flat feet. just like skywalker.

[Footballking33]

@cgarizona u dont stand still in football or basketball so really a standing vert. is lrrelevant

[Newmaidumosa]

@cgarizona yup ... Chad Johnson's Vertical leap from the combine was "only" 33''. However we should note that NFL players have on avg (&max) much better Vert leap numbers than NBA players. MUCH better!! for example. The max standing vert in 2011 NBA combine is 36.5'', The Max standing vert from 2011 NFL combine is 42. Avg of top 10 NBA 2011 was 34.5 Avg of top 10 NFL was 41.05 since 2006 avg of top 10 NBA = 35.95 avg of top 10 NFL = 43 NFL players are the best non track "athletes"!!!!

[jamestm1295]

@Newmaidumosa u right i like that

[Wobgoblin]

The only problem with this synopsis is rarely do you ever see a receiver standing still facing the QB waiting for a ball that the WR can leap in any direction to get.

Receivers are almost always moving in one direction...and moving very fast at that. This limits the physical reaction of the WR.

[stecz11]

Unless it's a hook pattern :)

[blackkid49]

yeah...WR's are usually running hooks, streaks, or posts...or an option of the combination of the three...i'm just saying a hook is a common pattern for primary WR's...

chris

[ThatBo03]

Ocho Cinco is trying to give Carson Palmer 0 square feet of target by holding out.

[Dmc138]

ya well carson doesn't deserve a target like 85 and plus know ur stuff be4 u post something chad isn't gonna hold out anymore he said he'll be at training camp and all the regular season games buddy

[lionheart85cb]

if you wanna see ocho cinco in HD, put &fmt=18 at the end of URL, then its showtime

[hypergoof]

for a high jumping widereceiver why not larry fitzgerald he jumps the highest i'm a 49ers fan and i should know he outjumped the 49ers entire defensive backfield on a hailmary.

[jayson90]

why would they ever use t.o when there was a clip of him dropping a ball lol

[nikhilmalik62]

also, NO PADS? THIS DATA FOR A WR'S RANGE IS TOOOTALLY OFF. THIS SHOW TRIES TO ACT ALL SCIENTIFIC, BUT ITS FULL OF ERRORS AND NOT IN ANY DEPTH

[nikhilmalik62]

shoulda used moss or reggie wayne or marvin harrison when healthy, or T.O

[philanderadriaan]

Wow.

Chad used his palms, Jerry used his fingertips.

That made Jerry a more dominant reciever.

[chvll101]

dude jerryr ice is teh besst!

[Vidike]

Thank you for this clip
