Fair analysis. Looks like we have the same top 4, just in slightly different orders. I think he did lose a bit in his change of direction with his knee, coming out of breaks, but another thing to consider is that Chubb may have bulked up from 2 years ago. It's quite possible he was 10 pounds heavier than the pre injury form. He certainly looks thicker than he did in his Freshman year, I assume he's put on some weight, which might have contributed to looking/being slower.Bot101 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 03, 2018 11:16 pm I love Chubb. But I cant figure him out. When I watched him (post injury) he looked... slower. Another thing I picked up is he really is protective of his previously injured knee. And something else when watching him run, when he looks about to break a big run he will get tackled easier than expected. He was my 1.02 for a short while post combine. But after reading some stuff on how he looked "ok but not natural" catching passes he fell to 1.04. He also has poor 10 yard splits vs Guice (1.02) and Penny (1.03) that a prominent RB guy on these forums pointed out to me. However he did look better and better the further away from his injury he got. I would just rather take the safe options of Guice or Penny over Chubb. My fear is that he may never be the same no matter how hard he destroys the gym.
Once thing I have realized watching film over the last little while, is watching the yardage move rather than the player. By that I mean, when I watched Chubb vs Michel, they are such different body types, and run with different body movements, that there can be optical illusions, like someones dreadlocks for instance. I try and watch how quickly the player moves against the yardage markers, keeping the players movements out of my main focus when trying to analyze film speed.
