This is not a post to degrade the dedication and hustle that was attributed to David Curry but I just did not think he ran 5.6 miles during the Duke game. Duke ran 81 offensive plays and let assume David was in every play. I do not need to even use GT calculus but simple math.

5.6 x 1760 yd/mile=9856 yards


9856/81 plays=121.7 yards per play. I think we need better pedometers or David runs winds sprints on the sidelines

Duke post game thread

Badass pic of the Wreck I liked the headlights on our Ford. I don't remember seeing those before during night games. I thought they looked really cool.

We had a lot of kickoffs and punt returns. Is he on these two units?

I wish they had never published these. There are unknowables.

Do they measure the movement between plays? Is David walking up and down the sideline constantly? You can get any number you want in the process depending on the unit's filters, and most of the numbers are not useful.

It is good technology if you use it to break things down on the single play level. Aggregates like this just seem shaky.

And as I pointed out in the post-game thread, a lot of movement could mean the player is out of position often and has to make extra effort to recover. Like when Curry vacates the middle of the field when he bites on a fake or something then has to chase down a TE from behind after the catch.

Yeah, but not even Curry creates MILES of corrective movement.

Turns out Curry had half a dozen breakfast burritos from Taco Bell that morning and it captured his trips to locker room john.

Right, and it was pretty much explained in the post-game thread that someone turned “feet” into “yards” by mistake. Divide by 3 and everything makes sense.

Correct. Zero chance he ran 5.6 miles no matter how you want to measure it. ZERO.
 
The only way that number is accurate is if it measures everything from the start of the game experience to the end - calisthenics, warmups, on and off the field, etc.
