Exactly, I can't begin to count the times I've tried to get somebody to understand this point when they bring up how Harper is slow because Bradford ran him down on that play.

Also, Vincent Jackson had a lingering foot problem which had an affect on his speed, which allowed Jenkins to run him down on that famous play this past season.

One needs to contextualize these plays because they don't take place in a vacuum.
