Where’s the Miami speed?

[iLoveTDs]

Outside of a few guys I just don’t see burners.

Jeff Thomas looks like he aged ten years from when he came here last year. Guess thats what happens when you've gotta constantly worry about slowing down for your QB to be able to hit you

 

[frostycane]

he got caught from behind too... I said the samething in the game thread. We looked slow as crap out there IMO. We had a few guys in spots where it looked like they might just burn out and outrun the angles, yet they got tracked down.

 

[Zbrod95]

on the 2nd and 3rd team

 

[Swampcity]

Yeah, I do not see a lot of Defensive speed either.

 

[TC7D]

Love that #61 is rocking sunglasses during stretches.

 

[TheEye]

Jeff Thomas and Lorenzo Lingard.

Disagree.
Same thing was said about the GT DB last year.
Similar play.
DB had the angle to the pylon.

They had 80 yards of total offense. Imagine what we would have held them too with some real speed on the field.

Especially defense. Use to get ouR best and the speed move forward. I remember players getting faster after the got here. Not anymore.

The younsters have the speed....so most of its on the bench
Lingard
Pope
Gilbert
Gurvan
Jordan
Mallory
Bethel
Harley
Wilder

Thomas, Richards and Homer(he has straight line only tho, no wiggle at all) are the only regluar contributors with speed. Hopefully richards is ready next week.

 

[305umking]

Also i think some of our speed is nullified on defense because of the gimmicky **** we do defense. We literally give up easy short passes because of telegraphed blitzes. Which nullifies speed rush by the front 4

 

[umhurricane2511]

Deejay gained too much weight

 

[John77]

Deejay gained too much weight

Homer looked a bit slower too

 

[Donny Donowitz]

Jeff Thomas played his *** off...he maybe didn’t look fast because he runs more deep routes and returns kicks than anyone else on them team. Is called fatigue.

 

[joglen15]

Homer doesn't have that same explosiveness from last year.

Thomas looks slower as well. I remember when Dorsett used to get 10 yards past both safeties

 

[canesthing3]

Every single year there's like 10 of these threads. I really think you all expect a team of 75 Devin Hesters, as if that was ever the case.

 

[MarkyMark]

This man should get 8-10 touches a game. Criminal that we didn’t use him last week.
