Speed Kills

'81 Niners, I tells ya; but where we're going, we don't need Rhodes.

Pure awesomeness. Repped.

When you get back to 1885, those busts won't even be there!

[Fritz]

Are the Packers now built to play on fast surfaces? Is this a consideration when drafting players?

[smuggler]

Most of the skill players are not specifically fast. Jones, Nelson, Benson, Kuhn are not speedsters.

Nelson is. When you get him down field. It just takes him a little longer to accelerate.

Jordy is definitely fast

Jordy is definitely fast

And he's white, which apparently lets him get behind DBs quite often.

LMAO damn that sucks about White's speed. Saine had great speed and hands on Madden, always subbed him in for screen plays.

Yea, Saine's pretty good on screens; not much of a runner, though.

I only play online and use Pack about 99% of the time. Its hard to run up the middle with the new Infinity Engine, even if bums rush just 1. You just run into your own linemen. That's why I would prefer to have a fast rb to run the ball outside. Benson and Green are too slow; use Starks (90 speed) most of the time to keep bums honest so they would stop rushing 1 all the time. You can actually sack the qb rushing just 1 in this game. Lol.

Yea Starks is my starter as well and I only use Benson for short yard situations. I'm in a online franchise league with the Packers against 31 other user controlled teams. Just beat the Vikings in week 17 to win the division over the Bears. Also I've been putting Cobb in as my 3rd down back and hes been dirty coming out of the backfield. I just wish Finley could catch the ball in real life like he does on Madden.

Well played, sir.

In that respect the 1997 Packers were three times as good as the 2012 team. Their three fastest guys: Don Beebe, Travis Jervey and Bill Schroeder.

White dudes are fast but less explosive. The 10 yard burst is more critical.

You need those explosive guys, but top end speed can be deadly too. Randy Moss was a good example. I don't think of him as an explosive guy that could consistently beat DBs with his burst on short routes, but his ability to get down the field and out jump the opposition was critical. Jordy is not Moss, but don't discount that defenses need to be aware of him because of his combination of speed and size.

I'd like to get behind Stacey Dash.
