Tidbit from Seattle game

Actually, Grant has good speed--especially for a big back. I'm pretty sure he timed in the 4.4s coming out.

Well, according to theHogs.net, it was 4.43. I would have never guessed. I didn't think he had a top gear.

Wikipedia has him at 4.54. Sometimes the NFL drives me crazy.

When did Wikipedia work him out?

You are giving Jones and Peterson credit for their entire 2007 season. Grant didn't become the starter until week 9 of that season, so the comparison is from week 9 of 2007 until now. Not the beginning of the 2007 season until now.

Take 500 yards, plus or minus, off of T. Jones 3 complete year totals and he falls a tad below Grant's 2 and a half year totals.

It also doesn't hurt that he never plays against a 'stacked box'...

I really think the missing piece to this offense is a CJ Spiller type of back...

I disagree. This offense is as complete as an O can be in the free agent era. We have a couple holes on D, but our O is missing nothing but a trophy.

It's no doubt we have a top offense but we are missing a true 3rd down back to split carries with Grant.

BJack will be that back this year. I believe this is the year he finally puts it all together.

Grant definitely has wheels. He's among the best in the NFL as far as size/speed combination.

When did Wikipedia work him out?

It was a volunteer-based combine, enter your own results. A few very committed souls showed up and argued about whether Mel Kiper was a draft-nik, a draft expert or a self-styled draft authority.

Plus, he's not just the president he's a client.
