The only speed that matters is how fast can he release the ball.
That's not true at all, he can score running.

This is where you would want to have Jaylon Smith back for one game because against Murray he could scoop him up with the arm swing to the ground hand swipe.
Actually the difference is monstrous. If you watch the combine telecasts when they superimpose different players' runs on top of one another you see just how big the difference can be. A tenth of a second difference between these guys at top speed is like 2-3 yards. So a guy who legitimately runs 4.3 and a guy who legitimately runs 4.4 could be separated by several feet when they get to top speed. That can easily be the difference between making a tackle or missing it.. or having a receiver be able to run under a pass or a DB having the make up speed to break it up. For what it's worth I suspect AB is probably the fastest of that group and Murray is the quickest and most nimble. But I think Parsons has the scariest "gear" of all of them. He seems to be able to hit the turbo button and move at warp speed to go get a ballcarrier sometimes.
In college, I was a linebacker and could keep up with anyone for 10 yards. Line of scrimmage, that's all one needs.Actually the difference is monstrous.

Have Parsons play the spy positionThis will be a first this season, going to be interesting watching just how do we approach this. Hell, Murray is faster than anyone on that offense. Love the challenge, and the Cards that very rare breed of cat that does play better on the road which is weird.
The Cowboys will be ready, they are for real.Even this years defense is going to be challenged against Murray. He’s going to provide a real test. If our defense enters the game too full of themselves this could be a problem.
Question: Can you come up with generally valid 40 times for Cowboys players?The most important factor in football is speed. The reason the SEC rules the NCAA is that conference recruits speed.
Would ya believe there has never NEVER been a Big10 sprinter run a sub10.00 100m. The SEC has about 30ish, that is crazy. The big guys are fast in the SEC. Both Herschel Walker and Bo Jackson 225 pounds and fast way back when, SECers.
Team speed is a very big deal the more speedy athletes you have the better off you are.
How many times have we read......play Pollard play Pollard, why..........faster!
Hell, while not the SEC, TCU can fill 8 lanes with guys who broke 10.00, but none of them footballers.

Very good stuff, kind sir...being a Veteran has given me very good patience.Not without some work, but being you're a buddy, a little later, ok?
4 feet, 3 inches?This will be a first this season, going to be interesting watching just how do we approach this. Hell, Murray is faster than anyone on that offense. Love the challenge, and the Cards that very rare breed of cat that does play better on the road which is weird.
4 feet, 3 inches?
Hey Ooooh!That his 40 time or his height?
Can't have a repeat of last season when they played him
We have our QB for this game and our defense is much better this time around. If the same result happens this time around, we are in bad shape.
