I agree with your assessment. RS is the only former Tiger that I could think of to even remotely compare to Speedy. Speedy could definitely be a Percy Harvin type playmaker if we utilize him properly.

Yeah, Percy Harvin was a stouter guy I think but I don't think he is as quick as Noil is..."quickness", I'm talking about, not flat out speed. I guess RS got off on the wrong foot with me, but in his TR FR year, you probably remember this. He would come in to the huddle and either a timeout would have to be called or when the lining up came, a timeout would have to be called. You KNEW it was Shepard because after the timeout, the QB would go over to Shepard and start talking.

I was almost to the point of "Les, please post the playbook on the video screen. yeah, I know the opponents will see the play also but at least we won't waste timeout after timeout." There was no excuse for even a TR FR with limited usage in plays NOT to know the playbook. NONE!
