Intersection cameras would be my guess

Those don't have radar in them, just cameras.

Everywhere?

I would guess they figured the time between checkpoints. That's pretty much how aircraft checks cars for speed on the interstate.

Math and stuff

I've done 90-something in a 55. It sounds worse than it is to be honest, especially depending on how much traffic there was. In part because what they never seem to mention is most other drivers also are not doing 55. Most drivers will probably be doing 70-75 or so.

The weaving in and out of traffic is the douchier move, but it's also not uncommon.

This is still a nothing story.

How do they know what speed he was going before he crashed?

If they also know he was weaving in and out of traffic I'd guess that means there was some sort of video/aerial evidence or eyewitnesses.

98 is a specific number for a witness to come up with so I'd guess video/aerial surveillance.

We need an OC who hasn't known Dak for years and isn't afraid to hurt his feelings. Realizing his weaknesses and not putting him in situations to fail, but build the offense toward his strengths...developing plays that rely on things he and the wrs do well.

I loved what Kellen did with the multiple TEs this season, was disappointed it wasn't used more.

He was kinda like Garrett in that regard, not able to feel the pulse of his offense.

They're not moving Dak, but maybe he could be saved with a fresh OC...that's gotta be this offseason's theme.

That's my cornerback ~sniff~

 

[UncleMilti]

fixed.

Thank ya. Looks like iPhone spellcheck got me.

They read the “black box” in the car. Most of the boxes keep looping data until a crash, sudden braking event, loss of traction, etc and at that point there’s a stream of data available before and after an event.

Investigators will know his speed, if and when he applied the brakes, g forces, just about everything you could imagine.

There are black boxes in POVs? I’ve never heard of that. When did that start? I thought they were only in some commercially owned/company vehicles.

Yeah man. Almost every passenger vehicle has them now….started with the euro-queens (Volvo, Porsche, Mercedes) and then started with GM I believe in the Vettes. Then farmed out to almost all their vehicles now since 2005’ish. Ford and Chrysler followed. I know my F250 has one (2020) and my Ram trucks have them (2022).

edit: Looks like they became mandatory in 2014. Damn.

First I knew of this. Damn.

Yeah, I've had it in a couple criminal cases now. They really only go and get them for the most part when there is an accident resulting in a death. But that's been my experience anyway.

Mel Kiper is an idiot.

I LOVE Bijan, but we need a DT, WR, and CB FAR more than we do a RB.

You can get a damn good RB in the 3rd round nowadays so it would be stupid to spend our 1st rounder on one.

Tag Pollard and draft a guy in the 3rd or 4th, and we're set.

Depending on the board and what we do in FA (lol) I'd be fine with it given that I think our offense should be completely run-oriented.

I'd take Robinson over a lesser graded WR for example, but if the decision is someone like Jordan Addison vs. Robinson, I'm taking Addison.

I also don't think CB is much of a need at all high in the draft.

Glad Al Harris is under contract.

Our DBs haven't played this well in ages.

Every level of the secondary plays sound, smart football.
