We will get to see what they have. Speed is nice to have. The thing about hitting and driving through a player is good in some instances but even if successful it may be enough of a slow down/ delay to allow the person being pursued to escape. Same can be said of running around someone as well. I just remember one thing that Barry Sanders said about flag football, vs tackle football, if they can't get your flag they will never tackle you.
Mike Wallace was a big deal when here because of his speed. It seems to have had a big effect on the coaches as they have begun a nearly Al Davis position on speed. I really would like to see it change both our offense and defense for the better. Foot was blasted over and over for his lack of speed, and every other player that seemed to loose a step here and there. They are trying to change it on both sides of the ball and I hope it works.
