[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 653454, member: 9033"] Why do 40 times get brought up like they're the end-all be-all of stats for players? Speed isn't nearly as important (I mean, given that the guy doesn't run a 5.10) as recognizing routes and knowing where to go. How quickly everyone forgets that CJ Mosley was FAR slower than Shazier in the 40 but Mosley is the better ILB in the NFL because Mosley doesn't just react to everything and THEN run, he recognizes the way the play is going to unfold and gets a jump on where he needs to be. I don't care what 40 time the ILB runs so long as he knows where he should be on any given play. Also, Tevin Coleman ran a 4.39 40...if we're just looking at times then there isn't an ILB in the NFL that's going to be able to cover him. ILBs are almost always going to be slower than the TE or RB, that's why they're playing ILB. [/QUOTE]
