vickslick Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I seriously think everyone is about the same speed. Obviously i am talking about the secondary because the linebackers dont come into the conversation here. But i really cant tell. I think all of them are above average speed for NFL players, but no one with blazing speed. If i had to choose i would probably say Willy Mo. What do you guys think?

falconsfan84 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Are you talking about game speed or 40 times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTRaines92 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Grimes. A few weeks ago he ran a guy down that was about to take a kickoff to the house. He didn't tackle him but he pushed him out of bounds. He hustled and it showed his speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybird404 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Moore is pretty fast too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanka Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Brent Grimes hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronniestoppable Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I think our secondary is pretty sub par speed wise, which isn't a bad thing seeing as our last speedsters were meangelo and chris houston. That being said grimes caught that dude on the kickoff 2 games ago which was pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugger8 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Grimes got burnt by old man Mason though, just didn't connect.Getting burned doesn't always have to do with speed, though. Mason is a vet, and can really sell some routes. Route running > Speed sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out his closing speed he is better then linebackers. With out the knee injury I will go D Rob then William Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Falcon Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Nobody on defense is as fast as Kris Jenkins when he was on the Panthers! Anyone still have those screenshots of him stealing burgers off a grill, etc? Those were hilarious.You would expect Dunta to be the fastest 40 and game speed. Safeties are usually heavier but not quite as fast as corners, so no surprise DeCoud and Moore were a little slower. Grimes is surprising slow 40. Shows the difference between quickness and straight line speed though. Usain Bolt is demi-god fast, but he probably still could not cover the fast NFL WRs unless he worked on quickness and agility.

vickslick Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Yea im thinking D Rob. But i think in the game Grimes is deffinetly faster. But the best thing about our defense is that, no one is really slow. Every one is above average so everyone can handle themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
