The need for Speed

[mraynrand]

My compliments to you. Would you be willing to respond to the 1st post of this thread. Too many take a threads original concept and divert it to suit their unfocused thoughts. You however zeroed in on Fitzgerald and posted in a clear and factually concise manner. If you could use that skill to refocus this thread that would be awesome and more than I can manage.

Thank you again for your post and I look forward to reading more.

I apologize for not sticking to your rigid thread guidelines.

Do you think team TE speed has improved? What if rookie StoneAge isn’t up to speed (Ha Ha, get it?) with the the playbook or NFL strength and conditioning? What happens to overall TE Speed/Strength then?

Ezra had speed. He could down a hot dog in five seconds, and he once put away an entire foot-long in less than ten seconds.

Ever see those certain shows where the backwoods folks come to town all piled in the back of an ancient rusty pickup truck. None have attended more than the 4th grade and all of their cloths are patched somewhere. They complain that town folk are strange and everything cost way too much. It reminds me of some of this forum's posters. They believe that it's strange to post a comment that's not either sarcastic or vulgar. They think that left handed comments impress people and being the class clown makes them popular. Most of those clowns I ever knew are working as janitors or as garbage men.

Team / individual speed is a recognised skill. Talking about it should not be that hard. I hope that some really fast and football skilled players will emerge in 2019 for the Packers. No Joke !

This says a lot about you. I'll leave it there.

Mr. Gilly's a trash man. He is speedy too. Except when it comes to taking his bath.

You have your take quite backwards. It's you who has a problem with posts that do not fit your criteria. You've taken it upon yourself to judge other's posts. This forum is specifically for posters who want to say anything at any time. You are specifically the outlier. You're welcome to post whatever, whenever, but you need to temper your expectations. The scoldings are getting old.

On the outside we definitely have the capacity for speed, but we don't know if any one has good ball skills. I don't know what to expect out of this new o, but I don't think flat out speed will be as important as quickness to get timed separation.

On the other hand, I think we have great speed in the special teams for both returner and gunner, enough that perhaps even Slocum would have looked only slightly below average.

Thank you Upnorth for your valued opinion. I agree with your post. However let's note that speed at RB can mean turning the corner on outside running plays. In addition, speed at LB can shut down runners trying to turn the corner on us. Also, a QB with an arn like Rodgers can effectively make use of a deep threat WR. MVS could be that deep threat as he enters his 2nd season.

It sounds like you're using the word speed to mean both quickness and straight-line types of speed. I think most people when they hear the word speed think more in the vein of straight line speed.

There's the quick burst speed that you attribute to a RB getting outside or a LB to stop him. And then there's the different type of speed that you're attributing for MVS which is the straight line type.

Congratulations you've discovered a spelling error, you get a Gold Star today.

As for patches, it's what poor folks do to repair their clothes. Duh !!!
