Rob Smith "Martinez as fast as Denard"
September 5th, 2011 at 4:10 PM ^
that Denard is the benchmark of comparing someone to fast, but give me a freakin break! It isn't surprising coming from someone who went to Ohio.
GO BLUE!
September 5th, 2011 at 4:15 PM ^
Wasn't he supposed to be doing brain surgery by now? Oh, right, he's not as smart as he thinks he is.
September 5th, 2011 at 4:16 PM ^
Doesn't someone have a picture of Denard in that interveiw when they asked him if he was faster than Martinez?
September 5th, 2011 at 4:29 PM ^
They're both way faster than me... on land.
September 5th, 2011 at 8:43 PM ^
that you, Phelps?

His name is ROD Smith.
Generally, sports broadcasters with the first name Rod are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

No, it's Robert Smith. We're not talking about our old QB coach.

Espn college football live sucks. When u have Holtz and smith on there, do u really think there's going to be any good info about Michigan? Yea I don't think so!
September 5th, 2011 at 4:59 PM ^
It shouldnt even be called CFB Live, they probably have a pretty decent delay in case Lou Holtz has another stroke.
September 5th, 2011 at 5:03 PM ^
Again, Rob Smith is a complete idiot. A fool. Move along.
September 5th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
No way Martinez will beat Denard in a foot race. NO F-in WAY. These talking-heads will say almost anything to generate controversy. Enough time spent mentally on this.

How fast is Denard?
This question has already been answered in an objective fashion:
September 5th, 2011 at 7:29 PM ^
He did not play in 1991. Never played on a team that beat Michigan (though they did tie 13-13 in 1992). So he's obviously bitter underneath that shit-eating grin of his. Aside from looking perpetually 12 years old, he rarely has anything nice to say about Michigan or Michigan players.
So if you're looking for objectivity, stop watching Robert Smith or placing any credence upon whatever he has to say.

I don't know, that dude is pretty fast. I got into an argument on YouTube (mistake No. 1) with some husker blowhard who wouldn't quit telling me how "T-Magic" (gayest nickname ever) was sooo much faster than Denard. I said fine, I think Shoelace is faster and left it at that, but I think Martinez supporters definitely have a case, at least on the football field. That dude is wicked fast. Look at the way he runs away from the secondary in the open field, as well as his first couple steps through the line. He accelerates as fast as anyone I'd say. Maybe it's due to the inverted veer you frequently see on his highlights where his body is already in motion, but he defintely gets off the line quickly.

I really don't care if he's as fast as denard. I'm just glad denard is as fast as he is.
With that said, he isn't as fast.....

Likely doesn't really matter.
September 5th, 2011 at 9:37 PM ^
I didn't know Rob Smith smoked up either!
I blame Burning Man!

Martinez is compared to Denard, speed-wise.
Denard is never compared to anybody.
That's all you need to know.

Denard ran a 10.44 in the 100 meter dash and a 6.81 in the 60 meter dash. Taylor might accelerate a bit faster than Denard but he loses on top end speed anyday.
