This is basically conservation of momentum. The momentum before and after the "altercation" would be the same if you ignore the players pushing on the ground. For gravity, you can just look at the changes in momentum in the horizontal direction. Gravity doesn't pull this way, so it wouldn't have any effect on the horizontal momentum.
Watch the video again. It looks like Fujita is in the air for a good part of the interaction. If that is the case, horizontal momentum should likely be conserved assuming Simpson isn't also pushing. Here is a shot during the interaction. Ok, now for the velocity. Here is the horizontal velocity of Fujita both before and after the altercation.
I think "altercation" fits better than "collision" for this situation. Yes, Fujita doesn't have a constant velocity before the altercation.
That is because he is getting up and pushing with his feet. But, it is constant enough that I can say he was moving about 0. What about after the interaction? After he is with around the same horizontal speed -- about 0. Now, what about Simpson? Here is his plot:. Simpson was moving toward Fujita and afterward was moving away. His first horizontal speed was around 0. Now for the momentum. Wikipedia lists Fujita's mass at kg and Simpson's at 88 kg. This would put the total before and after horiztonal-momentum of the system consisting of both players at:.
What does this say? This says that momentum is not conserved if you only consider the interaction between the players. What could have happened then? Davis is a talent, but the team didn't do a good job of using him last season.
His 50 targets were his fewest since , and his usage was way too low considering he has finished in the top 8 at his position in four of the last six seasons. He was targeted just once in the red zone after seeing 20 red zone targets in Given his 15th round ADP, he's a very low-risk pick given his upside. That's a result of all the alterations -- from his head to the bottom of his cleats -- that the quarterback has made. One of the main things that changed was Kaepernick's stance.
Gile said it was too narrow. That is, his feet were close together -- "real tall on his tippy toes," Gile said -- and when he took a step to throw the ball, that step was too big, too exaggerated.
That elongated his release. It's also helped his accuracy. Gile said Kaepernick made the biggest gains with his deep passes. That has to be good news for wideouts like Torrey Smith and Jerome Simpson, who were brought in this offseason to add firepower to a deep passing attack that had been lightly utilized in previous seasons.
Gile said he expected Kaepernick to return to Phoenix and continue to work on his craft during the team's break in early July. Kaepernick ran the ball 12 more times in than he did in for an additional yards, so it's not like he abandoned the scramble. It sounds like it's more about utilizing the read-option as a larger part of the offense. If that's the case, it could be a boon to Kaepernick's fantasy value. He was the 14 QB in after finishing 9 the season before, though his overall production only dipped by 11 fantasy points.
He's a bounce-back candidate provided new OC Geep Chryst can design an offense that can move the ball. A player who didn't play with an edge and an aura of confidence wouldn't have the guts to attempt a play like this. Minnesota offensive players, minus Percy Harvin and Adrian Peterson , demonstrate little if any edge or attitude about them. In order to be successful in the game of football, you have to play with an edge and a belief that you're the best.
This goes without saying. In the introduction slide, I discussed my view on the talent at the wide receiver position. Minnesota needed to add multiple pieces to its corps if it hoped to give Christian Ponder a fighting chance in Simpson is a versatile receiver who can take short passes and stretch the field.
It's up to him not to fall too far behind with his three-game suspension; thankfully, he can still participate in training camp and preseason games. Enjoy our content? Join our newsletter to get the latest in sports news delivered straight to your inbox! Your sports. Join Newsletter.
