Speed is all relative, given the player's other measurables.

DGB's 4.49 at 6'5" 236lbs makes his skills more functional than Dorsett's, in my eyes. Sure PD can run 4.29 but the size is a draw back.


getting off the line, catching balls in traffic, winning 50/50 balls are all problems smaller WRs have.

Sometimes those extra 2-3" & 10-15lbs are more important than a tenth of a second in the 40.


On another note, I dont understand why people all of a sudden want to count on Ben Watson, or Nick Toon, or some of the other guys on the bottom of our depth chart.

I mean we all hope Seantavious Jones or Coleman can help us out, but to include them on reliable big body guys is just retarded. Ben Watson is going to be 35, the other guys don't have an NFL catch between them, and Nick Toon has NEVER been reliable.

I hate it when I agree with Lester. He is 100% correct here though. Welcome to the winning team, LE.
