They were discussing CPR's comments that Warren reached 22 mph on a run. They said something about it taking a physics major or something to calculate that, or something that made it seem really difficult. Cmom guys, there are yard markers on the field. That amounts to a grade school math problem.
 
Murph and Andy are boring as hell. They both have boring monotone voices and Andy just sounds like he doesn't even want to be there half the time.

Over their heads. Math is hard.
 
Except you would have to assume constant velocity or acceleration. That is not a high school math problem. Rhoads said it was via their metrics program which means there are sensors on the players. I didn't know they could wear those in a game but that is where 22 mph comes from.

Then our favorite Randy P. chimes in with the "Is that good". :spinny: I like Rhoads response, "Well that's better then you or I could run." With emphasis on the You.

You would also need him to run perpendicular to the lines. Still, I bet you could get really close to figuring out his top speed without any fancy electronics. In fact, we did it as a math problem using frames per second as our timer and counting frames on a video to determine velocity. It wasn't football, but a very similar situation.
 
Also a quick bing search (alphabet can't seem to keep their search up) shows the fastest speed of a human is around 27 mph.

Exactly. If the distance between City A and City B is 60 miles, and a car took 60 minutes to travel that, doesn't mean the top speed the car reached on that trip was 60 mph

Still not a simple HS math problem. You used fancy electronics to slow it down frame by frame. A high school math problem would be say he covered 55 yards in 4 sec. Lots of assumptions in that problem with lots of conversions.

Edit: Hey what do you know my example comes out to 28.125 mph.

You call a VCR fancy electronics?

Yes, but there are lines every 5 yards. You may not be able to get exact top.speed, but really close. Again, the biggest issue would be if he was running at much of an angle.to the lines it would screw it up. Otherwise, it's not hard.
