Well..he's laid off from door dash food for some time..so maybe he can. Lets hope .medical staff will be present at the end.   

I think he could outrace Mike McCarthy, though.

That's not impressive.

Agreed. Even for a middle aged person I'm not sure that's something to be bragging about. I am pretty sure he said it as a joke because it's not fast at all.

Rich Eisen runs it every year in his suit and he has broken 6.0 in recent years.

I did not love Dabs focus on it.  Be a coach not the center of attention.

Joe,

I suspect teams watching at the Combine are much like fans attending training camp.  You have plenty of slow points with little to do, punctuated by moments of interest.  I suspect most teams where the employees get along with be doing a bit of BSing/shooting the breeze, as they spend hours watching guys run 40 yards. 

While there have been things we have seen in Hard Knocks that trouble me, this wasn't one of them.  I think it showed the guys are comfortable and friendly with each other (something you want).

Rich - you are 100% correct.  I'd rather they have edited that out and replaced it with more prospect interviews.

Joe,

I get where you are coming from, but from what I have heard over the years, the sort of unity we see with the top leadership of the Giants is somewhat rare.  To see them so relaxed around one another was a great way to show their unity.  From what I have heard, competing agendas, cliques, and friction (like what happened with Wink and Daboll) is a very common issue with teams.
