We have some speed in our Secondry

by GimmyJ on Jul 20, 2008 11:47 PM CDT

If we can get Courtney Brown, and Alan Ball to come around. Look out. Brown, Scandrick both 4.32 guys, Newman is a 4.37, a little deceiving since Newman is a big time sprinter champ, Adam Jones and Jenkins both young and sport 4.38 forty time, Hamlin, Henry, Watkins, and, Roy Williams, at 4.5. I think Ball was at 4.4. We should have plenty of pick-six this season. The big question mark will be tackling. We know these guys can catch and will be ready to run and score, but tackling will be the issue. We know Newman, Jones, Williams, Hamlin, Henry, and Jenkins can tackle, but what about the next wave

I want to see if the next wave can deflect and pick off the footballl.

I say so what

because Reeves and N Jones also had tons of speed but they stunk. Every CB in the NFL is super fast, I want guys who can actually cover elite WRs, not just track guys.

What

What next wave are you talking about? The cornerbacks that you listed who can tackle are mainly the ones who will be seeing most of the playing time throughout the season. We already know the front seven can tackle. So, what about the next wave?

On tackling

Courtney Brown should be able to tackle if he’s a safety now. Ball and Scandrick may be on the thin side, but I even saw Reeves make some pretty tough hits last year, especially on WR screens.

The next wave will have to keep their game as close to those ahead of them if they are going to succeed. Maybe Hamlin can teach some clothesline techniques after practice!

That #38 sure can hit!
