Message: [QUOTE="alphaorange, post: 1486551, member: 305"] Your assumption of 9.8 m/s/s is wrong. That is the case of a free untethered fall. Clearly this is not ever the case in football. There are lots of reasons what you "calculated" is erroneous, but let's just say it was a wild, unsubstantiated guess. Three + yards is plenty of time. Especially when you are watching the play develop. Guys leap over falling players all the time. The fact that they are in the process of falling and the defender is so close he has to leap over him while he is hitting the ground clearly says there is time to redirect. [/QUOTE]
