No, it's a known fact among scouts and NFL personnel. Look it up.That’s an excuse slow guys use to combine you they’re good.

Find one player with a fast 40 that’s slow on the field. I do not mean good or not good, fast.No, it's a known fact among scouts and NFL personnel. Look it up.
Not slow, just that they might get outrun if they have to run long distances. That's why CB's who lack long speed are often played in the slot where quickness and agility are more important.Find one player with a fast 40 that’s slow on the field. I do not mean good or not good, fast.
No there aren’t. 4.5 is average. If they get deep, it’s route runningNot slow, just that they might get outrun if they have to run long distances. That's why CB's who lack long speed are often played in the slot where quickness and agility are more important.
Players w/ good 40 times who are said to lack long speed:
Jalen Tabor, FL. 4.45
Kevin White, TCU. 4.43
Those are just a couple I remember off the top of my head, w/ the 40 times being what my old bum remembers.
There are also some 4.5 + guys who are plenty fast.

At the combo e , they said Julio jones’s Game speed didn’t show 4.39. Suddenly after running 3Not slow, just that they might get outrun if they have to run long distances. That's why CB's who lack long speed are often played in the slot where quickness and agility are more important.

Indeed.We need another safety
Anyone who knows the right way to play CB knows he did not play that as good as possible. His fatal flaw is he is not turning his head back to find the ball so he can knock it down or pick it off.Awuzie has seemingly struggled at times but on that specific play he couldn't have played it much better.
That ball literally dropped in inches from his helmet (he was playing Jones that tight) and Julio just made a great grab.
I think fans forget the other guys get paid too.
Exactly. It has nothing to do with speed. It’s number one awareness. Most corners don’t turn around fast enough. Even when I played as a kid, I had the since to turn and look when I know I’m side by side with the receiver.Anyone who knows the right way to play CB knows he did not play that as good as possible.

Just running side by side with a WR doesn't equal good coverage. Awuzie is not good and if he can't learn how to look for the ball, he never will be good.
One way to help in the mean time is, don’t let tvecreciver off the line. That’ll eliminate a few catches every game.Anyone who knows the right way to play CB knows he did not play that as good as possible.

It seems odd that so many CB's come through this team who struggle with this.Exactly. It has nothing to do with speed. It’s number one awareness. Most corners don’t turn around fast enough. Even when I played as a kid, I had the since to turn and look when I know I’m side by side with the receiver.

Yup. The closest was Newman. He located the ball but caught it half the time. Scandrick covered well but couldn’t find the ballIt seems odd that so many CB's come through this team who struggle with this.
No doubt, he should percentage wise start to deflect or knockdown several , he has been that closeAwuzie has seemingly struggled at times but on that specific play he couldn't have played it much better.

In Julio's case, alot of money.I think fans forget the other guys get paid too.
Average at 40 yards does not necessarily mean average at 60 yards.No there aren’t. 4.5 is average. If they get deep, it’s route running
