Ok, I'm a bit confused.

I remember last year when we opened up against TB. The announcers were ga-ga over how fast we were. This year in several articles and in cbssportsline.com's power ratings, they say how slow we were last year and how much faster we are this year. So, were the announcers last year reading the media guide, smoking something or were we slow last year? And who have we added that makes us so much faster?

I know we axed Knight for being too slow. And trading Hand I'm sure increases the team speed simply by subtracting his waddle average :-)

And they (media types) talk of carter and ambrose as 2 old men. I figure if you take care with the line and lb's on the defensive side, stop the run and pressure the qb, your safties can be a bit slower. Especially if they are big hitters.

On Offensive side of things, I thought we were scary fast (Duece, Stallworth, Horn). Have we added any speed there?

So, are we faster this year, and were we really slow last year?
