[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 211923, member: 639"] Sorry. I know I haven't around much lately. To those who say speed wasn't much of an issue last year at AB, I beg to differ. There were tons of plays that were really close to breaking the first defensive wave that were stopped due to nothing else than a plain lack of speed. It is what it is. Our kids tried hard, but you can't fake speed.... it matters. Whether a play is stopped for 4 yards or breaks for 24 is pretty significant in my mind. It was a problem. We were a foot away sooo many times. Where there other problems? Like spacing, blocking and what not? Yes, but let's not pretend that we didn't lose speed after losing Snoddy, Searcy, and the like who were replaced with Lynch and Willis. We got what we could out of those guys, but it was a step down. I am sorry if I offend. Pure speed was an issue, as was reaction speed to the passing scene. Decision making in the flow of the game was often hesitant and tentative complicating matters even worse. There were some pretty good athletes just starting to get the hang of it when our season ended in 2015 (Lynn Griffin and Mikael Lands-Davis) and we have some returning off injury ( Searcy and Cotrell) or transfer (JJ Green). It is going to get crowded competing for playing time this coming season. [/QUOTE]
