More impressive – Coffman or Moreno?

Posted by BRAGGonUT on September 11th, 2008 under Football

Chase Coffman

EXHIBIT A – Week 1

EXHIBIT B – Week 2 – It is not on Youtube yet, so I apologize for having you endure Mike DeArmond again, but you can see Coffman’s leap over the SE Missouri CB on his vblog.

Knowshon Moreno

Sam McGuffie’s high school clips do not get a vote. MDR, I have already recorded your vote.

    I vote for Coffman, he wasn’t at full speed and his jump netted more yards.

    I kept feeling like that Mike DeArmond guy was about to tell me he had my little sister duct taped up in his bedroom and ask for $500,000.

    I see a trend here, I also see the trend ending once the defender anticipates and goes medevil on the hurdler while he is in midair.

    Yeah, but the defender could also get kicked in the head.

    I had a minor heart attack from my seat when Knowshon did that. I mean, he lands wrong and tears up his knee and we are watching this highlight for a whole different reason. That said, once he landed and was still in one piece, it was wicked cool to have seen it.

    The Mizzou guy is impressive as well.

    Okay, but I bet those guys can’t bench press for shit.

    I think you have to give the edge to Coffman just because he did it against a superior opponent. (I’m not talking about SEMO)

    I think that you have to give the edge to Coffman because he is white, and most white dudes can’t even think of doing that.

    Moreno’s was much better. The guy’s 5′11″ and actually JUMPED over the defender at full speed.

    Coffman is what, like 6′6″.

    That was a hop. Not a jump.

    He’s clearly the biggest player on the field in the video.

    Moreno’s may have been more impressive, but it has jack shit to do with him being shorter. You are confusing dunking and hurdling. In the former, being short makes it more impressive. In the latter, not so much. For example, please envision a hypothetical (sadly) Spud Webb v. Gheorghe Muresan biathalon consisting of dunking and hurdling. See?

    Also, the fact that Coffman has successfully landed at least 3 hurdles (I should add, without an entire fan base collectively ejaculating all over themselves, a’la the Georgians) puts him in a different professional hurdling division than Moreno. Moreno currently resides in the Fluke division until he proves otherwise.

    Sorry, at least 4 times (although, in the interest of full disclosure, you will see a few he did not land as well). Please see link, at .12 and 1.31.

    Coffman needed to do that to get ahead, and it helped the play more. Moreno didn’t get much out of it, and he could have put the fear of God in that DB (hit the snot out of him) or he could have juked him (broke his ankles). Either of those would have been better in the long run. Vote: Coffman.

    I want to see him try that against Kindle and have Kindle show him why guys don’t do that in big time D1 games (Fresno State – I’m looking at you)

    UTtuck, does the “him” in your last sentence refer to Coffman or Moreno?

    I certainly agree that Coffman is going to pay for his hurdling tendencies at some point, although “pay” likely just means “gain a couple fewer yards than if he lowered his shoulder.” And, if you mean Coffman, I think the Mizzou v. Illinois game would qualify as a “big time D1 game.”

    CJD,
    I know exactly what you are talking about. Pitiful defense. We open the second half giving up about 4 easy buckets on run-outs. Damion shoots a three, Mason watches and does not get back, easy bucket. Lucas gets beat down court and gives a way a soft foul for a 3 point

    That was a ruthless and depressing cataloguing of failure. Thanks Hank! I think.

    You’re happy with our transition defense? Because that’s what Trips is referencing with respect to floor balance.

    Trips,
