Thanks to the OP--nice link... agree his is blazing fast...This will serve the Raiders well in the 100 meter dash portion of the NFL season.

I was thinking more along the lines of playing<- <- Searching for Forrest Gump 'Bama run.
Raiders fans should make signs and all simulteneously yell, "STOP!" when DHB catches his first touchdown...assuming he ever catches one.
Sadly, I have to agree.goodoldalky said:I don't know what's funnier... The fact that he appears cartoonishly fast, or the fact that even though he was able to outrun everyone on the field, it looked like he had no idea where he was. First, he kept running, like he thought it was a race. Then, he thought that maybe he should try and tackle the guy with the ball. But then, he noticed a Giants player was thinking about blocking him... and then he ran away. And in no point in his afterburning dead-on, uber-confused sprint did he ever approach anything that looked like a football move or tackle, and at no point in his legs-on-fire-not-sure-where-to-go tirade did he get within 5 yards of the ball.All in all, it's funny. He may be fast, but... boy.. that's hilarious
lmao that was great thanks for the laughThis thread made me remember this video of Rich Eisen running the 40 at the combine...freakin really funny.
The best part is when they super-impose DHB running the 40 at the same time! enjoy

Between him and DeMarcus, I think the Raiders have the run, pass, and kick competition in the bag.Gordon09 said:This will serve the Raiders well in the 100 meter dash portion of the NFL season.
Maybe he thought if he got to the end zone first the ref would blow the whistle and end the play.Crabtree would have known better.He just runs straight like it's a race to the end zone.
Look on the bright side, he didn't get hurt.Sadly, I have to agree.goodoldalky said:I don't know what's funnier...

I don't know. I think he just looked really goofy running like that - high-stepping and really pumping his arms, like a cartoon character.Corey Webster (#23 for the Giants) is keeping up with him, but looks "normal" while running.I don't care about him not making a football move, that was insanely fast. I actually watched it like 10 times in amazement.
If only a Dunkin Donuts ad had been located behind the endzone, Russelll might have had a play...Stellar effort by Russell in pursuit. I bet he would have given some effort if it was a box of twinkies going down the sidelines.
That is funny.So, who would you rather have, DHB with great speed and no apparent football instincts in the 1st round or Johnny Knox who might be just as fast, can actually catch and has football instincts, and was a 5th round pick?LOL. That's pretty great. The best part is that he doesn't even take an angle to make the tackle. He just runs straight like it's a race to the end zone.
Better with Eisen vs. Raji with a lead.This thread made me remember this video of Rich Eisen running the 40 at the combine...freakin really funny.

This.j3r3m3y said:So fast, yet in another way kind of slow...
It seems to me like the "safer" play would have been to angle towards the guy and try to push him toward the sideline. No tackle necessary.He seemed to think that getting in front of the guy by about 5 yards would give him a better chance of a tackle - which is not true at all, and actually would have increased his chances of hurting himself had he attempted the tackle.Some guys have better instincts than others. Some have to be taught everything. Regardless, it is still funny to watch.It looked to me like he was trying to "contain" him so he could get his teammate involved in the tackle.
Is that you, Al?I don't care about him not making a football move, that was insanely fast. I actually watched it like 10 times in amazement.
No kidding... I was wondering the same thing.With that speed, he could have de-cleted the guy back at the 50 if he wanted to...LOL. That's pretty great. The best part is that he doesn't even take an angle to make the tackle. He just runs straight like it's a race to the end zone.
Hey! Don't go talkin' any sense 'round here!I admit it is funny. But you guys are really piling on a rookie WIDE RECEIVER in his 5th game for his tackling technique (or lack thereof)? It looked to me like he was trying to "contain" him so he could get his teammate involved in the tackle. Obviously, it didn't work, but the guy busted his hump trying to get to the play. I'd prefer that to him throwing his hands in the air and not making the effort at all.
DHB joins a long list of Raiders superstars with lightning like speed.James JettAlexander WrightWillie Gault.Who'd I miss?He may end up worse than all of those bums.I don't care about him not making a football move, that was insanely fast. I actually watched it like 10 times in amazement.
If by keeping up with him, you actually mean losing ground at a rapid pace, then yes, you're correct.I don't know. I think he just looked really goofy running like that - high-stepping and really pumping his arms, like a cartoon character.Corey Webster (#23 for the Giants) is keeping up with him, but looks "normal" while running.I don't care about him not making a football move, that was insanely fast.

You are right. This video is hilarious. Dude was running like it was a 40 yard dash. He passes the guy without taking any angle whatsoever?The more I watch this the funnier it gets. I don't understand the logic in not just cutting in on him at the 40. It's lot like there was anyone between him and the ballcarrier at that point.
The guy has probably never tackled anyone in his life.The more I watch this the funnier it gets. I don't understand the logic in not just cutting in on him at the 40. It's lot like there was anyone between him and the ballcarrier at that point.
Jett was an undrafted free agent.James Jett was pretty fast ...
