    Urban legend says so who knows for 100% only Bo knows!!!!!!!! sorry couldn't help myself

    Jackson recalls that it was an electronically-timed 4.13 during what would or could be considered a regional combine or expanded pro day that Auburn hosted. According to Jackson, numerous prospects from several colleges attended. He said that it took place in the indoor bubble at Auburn, there was electronic tape at the start that triggered the clock, and that there was a laser at the finish line of the 40-yard dash.

    “The coaches asked me, they said, ‘Bo, we have a bunch of pro scouts here, and it’s 40-yard dash time, they’re having a little combine, why don’t you come in and run a 40 for them, because they really came here in hopes to get you to run a 40 for them,’” Jackson recalled. “‘I’m on my way to track practice, I’ll be running for the next two hours.’ ‘Just come in and appease these people, just come in and run 40 for them.’”

    Jackson had sprinter training but there you have it from the horse’s mouth. He says he ran a legit 4.13, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a football player who can top that.

    From everything I've read about Bo, he is very competitive and if he was running a race against another person he  was not going to be beat, he could run as fast as he had to win. Lets just say that Bo was damn fast.

    I got what he was saying. Before CCL got here our screen game basically consisted of the QB rocketing it out to the WR and Duke Williams was somewhere on the ground pretending to block 2 guys at one time

    Wish we could do more than a like, I wanted to laugh at this and like it at the same time.

    Hey the no blocker screen was pre-CCL. Now our screen game is deadly (when we don't make it obvious) -- Ryan Davis made a living off of the screen this past season

    Maybe I' am remembering wrong, but I thought our best screen plays were with the linemen pulling out to block. So maybe y'all are talking about two different plays.

    No. there will be a lot of summer workouts and then pre-season camp before Labor Day. They will know all they need to know by then. Let's hope it 's positive knowledge.

    Sorry if I offended you, it was just a joke because Gus seems to take 3 or 4 games to figure his teams out. I like you hope that HJ will work out and everything will be positive.

    Nothing against either Joiner or Smoke, but I hope we stick with the two 4* RB's we have signed and get help at O-line, LB and CB. There are only about four slots left. I don't see using one of those on a third RB.

    I'm ok with just taking the 2 RB's and taking more O-linemen. But if we can't get them and have room , I'm also ok with taking Smoke or Joiner. I consider Joiner a Tight End more than RB, so I think I would rather have Smoke as the RB.

    But...we do have a top RB.

    Yes we do, Asa is a really good back, I should have said elite and I hope Asa will turn out to be elite. Just talking about getting the #1 or 2 rated RB in the country. But they don't always pan out either, you never know about these things, we may have the best right now.
