This is where math can help us figure out what will actually happen. That way we wont have to guess.
 

- Let's say Cook is running West at 4.5 yards per 40 yards (8.89 yards per second)

- Defender on Coleman is is 8 yards further west of Cook and 4 yards North and lets say he starts from rest (he isnt moving)

- Both players run at the same speed: 4.5 seconds per 40 yards (8.89 yards per second)

 

When do they reach the same position? Well, we have a kinematics equation we can use to start that process.

v^2 = v0^2 + 2(a)(x)

 

First let's figure out acceleration... 8.89^2 = 0 + 2a * 4 ...  79.08/8 = that's 9.88 yards/second accel

Then we have to figure out how fast Defender on Coleman can accelerate the 4 yards South to meet the same axis as Cook ... v = v0 + (a)(t)

8.89 = 0 + 9.88 (t) = 0.9 seconds.

During the 0.9 seconds that Defender on Coleman takes to go from standing still to reaching the axis of X, Cook who as you said is already running at full speed will cover 8.89 × 0.9 = 8.0 yards.

Cook started 8 yards back from the Defender on Coleman. 

So even though Cook makes up 8 yards in the time it takes the Defender on Coleman to go from standing still, to accelerating to the X axis that Cook is running on, they will reach intersection at approximately the same time and about the same speed.

In other words, the Defender would have absolutely caught up to Cook IF he leaves the second Josh decides to throw the ball.

Obviously there are some other variables involved. For example, stumbles, slips, yada yada.

The "eye test" for judging time and distance is notoriously unreliable. Always turn to math when possible.

I am convinced you posted this as an automatic joke generator for @Jauronimo. Well done — he’s now on fire in this thread.

It's even worse than that it is absue. Thankfully the UK Government is committed to banning it. Not before time. 

Can it be banned on TBD? Asking for a friend.

I can't believe you spent that much time on a joke.  It got a chuckle from me though.

It’s the TBD equivalent of this:

He literally says the thing that stands out is an OC issue

There are no midrange passes.  Samuel runs 1 yard routes and they throw 5 yard outs to Kincaid.  Little from Knox, Kincaid, Coleman, Samuel….. WTF?  Wake up Joe and make a proper game plan!   There is way too much talent being squandered!
