wright is a 4.6 guy and rumph probably is too. carlos ran a 4.44, which isn't a burner when you have CBs running under 4.2 and WRs around 4.3. springs is probably the fastest guy in the secondary right now. and it doesn't matter what arch ran, when the pads are on, everyone and their brother is blowing right by him play after play after play.

In an interview Rumph said he was a 4.4/4.5 guy (now he very well could have lost a step).

Dude, 4.2 and 4.3 speed is very very rare and half of the guys who can do it can't catch a cold.

Our guys aren't getting torched down the field, they are in poor position when the ball arrives. So they either get toasted or grab the guy. And when they actually cover the play well, they drop it.

While I disagree to the fact that speed is over-rated, I think it makes a difference...

I will agree completley with the fact our guys are totally out of position. Everytime I see a guy well covered, but our CB,S,LB, whathaveyou, staring them directly in the face instead of going for the ball makes me want to kill myself. I dont know if that slows them down by turning around(this is where the speed I think makes a difference), but that is just basic stuff. If one guy is looking for the ball and one guy isnt, chances are the guy that is looking for the ball is going ot come up with it.
