Vincent Jackson wasn't even in a true sprint. He was almost trotting. |

Jenkins has average CB speed, and above average FS speed. |

40 Yard Dash: 4.50 seconds Jabari Greer - CB - Tennessee - 2004 NFL Combine Results Usain Bolt have a slow 40 but no one can pass him in the 100 meter. They need to change the 40x to 100 meters. The avg qb can throw 55 to 65 yards |

I am just saying you can't go by forty to determine speed maybe excelleration but not speed

Re: What exactly are we complaining about?
He kind of just had a good angle on him. But I'll let you have that. I rather just agree to disagree. To me, our defense is slow. So either they're playing slow, or they're just slow period. I believe we need more speed on every level, but most noticeably linebacker.
