Re: What exactly are we complaining about?
The least of Malcolm's problems is his speed. He has proven time and again he can run down players. His has more issue getting looked away from where he will need to be and he has really struggled being opportunistic with the ball in the air. He may be better suited as a SS as his coverage skills are better than Harper in man cover, he supports the run decently and does have a nose for dislodging the ball. He hasn't proven himself as adept a pass rusher as Harper but it could only be lack of opportunity.
Frankly, if we were somehow able to upgrade FS with a better ballhawk, I could see Jenkins at SS and Harper re-signed for cheaper as both depth as well as in big nickel schemes or even as a flat out speed mismatch double edge rush. Kind of a hybrid safety position in lieu of a OLB in passing downs. |

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

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.
