I just just used the 40 for a reference, but I mean speed on the field.

I was a big dude and ran a 4.6, for my size I was very fast but not very quick, so I could get in the backfield but typically overran or was out maneuvered and it was all for not.

But I went to Riverside and how to run efficiently and how to improve my running was never taught and the fact that we ate what we wanted and when we wanted probably never helped the situation.

This is why it's important for the coaches to coach that fact that it's better for the D lineman when in this situation to breakdown and contain. Breaking down and containing at least gives you a chance to bat a ball down or allow another DL teammate to make the tackle. But overrunning the play and losing contain gives you zero chance.
