For comparisons sake - Rich Eisen has averaged about 6 secs over the past 18 years when he runs it at the combine.
Eisen is 6' tall and a bit more slender than Dabes.
Daboll measures in at 5'10", portly with short legs.
Eisen however, has never had the plate of wings at the finish line incentive that Dabes requested.
I tend to agree with the Giants brain trust that Coach Daboll would NOT break 7 seconds, but I think it really depends on how hungry coach is when he runs it.
Rich Eisen runs the 40 - (
New Window )
At the weight he is now, yes.
Not looking good for Dabes.

In the video he has turf shoes. But yeah suit and tie... lol. The overlays they do with him and players is pretty interesting (and funny). It's pretty cool that he does it actually, IMO.
He will need every advantage he can get to break 7 secs - and that would make him more aerodynamic.
The banter about sprinting against Worthy was hilarious.

for the season to start...
Hahaha
The best line was Worthy at the start and me at the 20 who wins and they were like Worthy smokes you. How far would I have to be to beat him... the 35! hahaha
Can the offensive line function as a cohesive unit?
How will the defensive back field work out?
All of these need to be answered but, but nothing as urgent as this: Can Daboll run a 7 second 40?
