[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 171555, member: 265"] I think the emphasis on speed is a function of the use of conventional Os. I quoted a fan from da U here awhile ago who said that their O was designed to get their good players in a position to make a play, but that ours was designed to make each play work. (Or something like that.) For the first kind of O speed for skill players is an absolute necessity; it's what makes the whole mechanism work. So football pundits focusing on speed is understandable. For our O, speed is more the icing on the cake. We don't need absolute burners at any position to make the whole thing very dangerous indeed. Now, this isn't to say that we don't [I]want[/I] speed, especially at the skill positions. I think we now have more then in the past and this may mean an extra win or two each year while we keep it. But I don't think speed is the be-all, end-all of our O. Of course, D is another story; having better speed in the secondary and DL is a real plus. [/QUOTE]
