26CornerBlitz Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Impressive! Still a no go though? Sounds like he met the distance requirement, but missed out by coming in 4th.
NoSaint Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Sounds like he met the distance requirement, but missed out by coming in 4th. Maybe I'm crazy but I'd rather be a true 4th than 3rd and 1 cm short if missing. I feel like it's a little less crushing to the ego, despite being disappointing still

26CornerBlitz Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 @SalSports Marquise Goodwin finishes 4th after Michael Hatfield jumps 8.42m in his final jump, passing Goodwin's 8.37. Had to finish 3rd for Worlds. Goodwin still jumped a personal best 8.37 after his previous was 8.23 and not jumping competitively since 2012. Wow. Great showing.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Sounds like he met the distance requirement, but missed out by coming in 4th. It may depend upon who finished ahead of him - something about some of the best LJ'ers may compete in only heptathalon or whatever? 8.37m may actually be longer than Goodwin's PB, which was reported as 8.33m at the 2012 olympic trials.

Nice showing, Marquise.

Kelly the Dog Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 @flashg88dwin Special thanks to @buffalobills strength & conditioning #BillsMafia That's pretty cool.
SJDK Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) If he placed in the top 4 then he definitely hasn't lost a step (despite what Madden 15 said). A guy of his size has to have elite world class speed to do that. That being said, I'm pretty sure I'd like to find room on my roster for a guy like that. You never know when Percy harvin will have a migraine Edited June 26, 2015 by SJDK
Kelly the Dog Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Call for Mr. Gillooly!!! Call for Mr. Gillooly!!! Ha. I was thinking the same thing. It's his only chance. Who's got Gooooogly's number? Plus, it won't be Marquise's fault it will be ours!
YoloinOhio Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Good for him for competing. If he didn't, he would have always wondered "what if."
ALF Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 He has to be in excellent condition to even compete in trials, that's good for his football career.
K-9 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 How can anyone say Goodwin has lost a step when he jumped farther than he ever has before? Seems like he gained a step, if anything. GO BILLS!!!

Matt in KC Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 How can anyone say Goodwin has lost a step when he jumped farther than he ever has before? Seems like he gained a step, if anything. GO BILLS!!! I agree! . . . if, you know, each step is 4 centimeters.
Prickly Pete Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Cut him. If he isn't concentrating on football with the Bills, I have no time for him. I wish him well, but have zero interest in track and field events.

I wish him well, but have zero interest in track and field events. Rex Ryan himself told the players to decompress and get away from football during the six week interim period between Minicamp and Training Camp at SJF. What exactly is your issue with this???
