Re: Devin Thomas' inconsistency continues
 

[quote=SBXVII;705333]Nothing is going to happen to him unless he's traded for a player or someone throws draft picks at Dallas to get him. I wouldn't give Dallas anything and I seriously doubt they just cut him. The team has said they were not trading him then recently came out and said they wouldn't throw him away cause he's too valuable to them. Which to me means they will want compensation.[/quote]

Perhaps you're right but they're very crowed at the wr position.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;705247]So how do our receivers rank in terms of pure speed? Is Moss the fastest? It never seemed to me like any one on our team had breakaway speed, so I just wondered where all our receivers stack up, both on the team, and against other receivers in the league.[/quote]

My guess from the current fastest in order

can't find Anthony Armstrong's 40

Re: Devin Thomas' inconsistency continues
 

Thanks 30Gut.

Re: Devin Thomas' inconsistency continues
 

If they line up Cooley more wide this year, then the most we will see is 3 WRs on the field with Colley being the forth. That sounds a lot like Dallas Clark with the Colts, whom we have seen line up wide for a number of years. I like that idea. I actually like the idea of the 2 TE, 2WR 1RB set that several teams run these days. More blockers on the field, which would make that streach running play to Portis work really well.

Re: Devin Thomas' inconsistency continues
 

Armstrong is probably the fastest actually. Heard he ran like a 4.2 flat 40 last summer.

can't find Anthony Armstrong's 40[/quote]

Good job, but I'd wonder how accurate this is. What I mean is I presume this is from all their draft testing and I would guess Moss can't run that fast anymore due to him being a bit older and most likely heavier. Thomas might be in the same boat since he has put on a lot of muscle. I could be wrong.

Re: Devin Thomas' inconsistency continues
 

I think my list would look something like this since we have better numbers:

Banks
Armstrong
Thomas
Moss
Kelly
Austin
Wade
Galloway

You did forget Kelly and Wade.

Re: Devin Thomas' inconsistency continues
 

If Galloway is healthy I'm betting the old guy can still fly

Re: Devin Thomas' inconsistency continues
 

You might be right. He's still tall and has not gained too much weight. He might be placed up above Kelly on my list.

We're talking about Galloway? Define tall

Re: Devin Thomas' inconsistency continues
 

[quote=Mattyk;705394]If Galloway is healthy I'm betting the old guy can still fly[/quote]

The guy couldn't hack it as New Englands 3rd wr last year. After Moss and Welker there really wasn't much competition since Stallworth and Gafney left. He is so done.

I didn't look Kelly's up b/c i figured that we all know that speed isn't his calling card. [B][COLOR="Red"]4.64 [/COLOR][/B]/4.53 fast time although i haven't seen this number linked to Kelly anywhere else

4.2? Wow? Where at?
I figured he was fast based on the rave reports from the Dolphins last year.

I trust you but where did you find it?

Armstrong's 40 time is like a song stuck in my head that i can't remember the words to help!

Heard it from someone associated with the league. But he said that's what he recalled, but wasn't sure.
