Buffalo716 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 Love my UB boys. This kid is feisty, very physical, and has great ball skills while it's in the air I really hope he could push to make the roster because he is talented 4
JESSEFEFFER Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 I fear it's going to be Next Man Up this year like it has never been before. These roster bubble guys have to be ready.

I would not bet against cam When he was healthy, he was UBs best defender regardless of position probably He is physical and has good route recognition with some balls skills He could probably be a really good slot corner , if he can get his reaction time quicker Edited July 19, 2020 by Buffalo716

It's how they managed to be 4 and 0. They will need many reliable players outside the 53 to navigate this season. 1

Like quick twitch reflexes or fast twitch Training muscle fibers to Reacting quicker, becoming quicker . The slot position is all about reacting quick Sometimes a millisecond is the difference between an interception and touchdown You've never heard of a quick-twitch athlete? Who's muscle fibers react super fast. Allowing for burst and speed rapidly All the best corners use that same quick twitch to react to routes and close on them Edited July 19, 2020 by Buffalo716 1

Like a boxer who reacts instantly to a punch All the best corners use that same twitch to react to routes I thought the term “quick twitch” referred to a type of muscle fiber. Some athletes are so well conditioned (and genetically predisposed) such that they have more quick twitch muscle fibers than others. I could be wrong. I guess I’ve never heard someone say an athlete “needs to get their quick twitch up a little.” I understand what you’re getting at, I guess.

But there are slow twitch and quick twitch fibers And you could train them independently. You could work on slow-twitch and quick twitch fibers. Being a corner it's all about the quick twitching fibers. Which is why you see him doing those drills with the cones. Because it's training his quick twitch fibers to react faster I may have said it in a weird way, but it's absolutely science, and athlete's absolutely work on it Somebody like a cyclist works on slow-twitch fibers It's not a talent thing with Cam, it's his reaction time to routes. Which is why I said he needs to work on those quick-twitch muscles. Because it's not a talent thing, it's a reaction thing Edited July 19, 2020 by Buffalo716

All I have left are no twitch fibers. Except for my right forearm. Loaded with quick twitch fibers ? 2

My point was it's not a talent thing with Cam, he just needs to react quicker to routes Your right forearm is probably jacked! Edited July 19, 2020 by Buffalo716 1

ROCBillsBeliever Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Coming from a former distance runner, here's a brief scoop on fast-twitch (a.k.a. "quick twitch") and slow-twitch muscle fibers. -Fast-Twitch muscle fibers are able to fire (i.e. react) very quickly, but you might say that they "run out of gas" more rapidly. -Slow-Twitch muscle fibers are able to fire (i.e. keep firing) for an extended period of time, before "running out of gas", but they can't fire (i.e. react) as quickly. Think of high school gym class: some kid would crush you in the 100 m sprint, but you may have been able to out-last them in the gym class mile. You had a greater proportion of slow-twitch muscle fibers; your 100 m champ had a greater proportion of fast-twitch muscle fibers. -We all start out with a mix of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers, and BOTH can be trained. Obviously, some are more gifted one way or the other. Back to the gym class story: you (the one who lost the 100 m, but won the mile) probably hadn't done serious training, yet, but you already had more slow-twitch muscle fibers. You may have had a 60/40 split of slow-to-fast twitch muscle fibers. A good cross country coach should have seen your gym mile time, and bothered you like crazy to quit trying to play football, and instead to run cross-country (This is exactly what happened to me, in high school, so I speak from experience). Overall, the key, in training as a young athlete, is to figure out what type of muscle fiber you have a greater propensity for, and get into the sport (or sports) that require that muscle fiber type. You can always improve one fiber over the other, through direct training (i.e. Speed / heavy-lift training for fast-twitch, or cardio for slow-twitch), but why not just get into the sports where you're already going to have a competitive advantage? (As a side-note, this is what the Soviets did with their child-athletes, back in the day. Theyyyyy probably took things waaaay too far, but the idea of figuring out what type of muscle fibers child athletes had, and directing them into the sport(s) they were best suited for was actually a very good idea, in terms of competitive advantage).

Yes that's a good description And different sports require different fibers... Like you said the distance runner is more slow twitch , and he might lose in a 100 to the quick twitch guy But would smoke him in 2 miles And you can train them differently 1
