    Blowing up the roster looking for speed ?

    Jonathan Williams has 4.6 speed. That's the same time for Logan Thomas at TE. I really don't think Williams was anything special, especially as an every down back.

    Our other two RB's (not FB's) Joe Banyard and Taiwan Jones have 4.4 and 4.3 speed respectively.

    With Zay Jones and Jordan Matthews clocked at 4.4 in the 40 we do have SPEED!

                    IMO low 40 times for RB's don't mean as much as some other positions, McCoy runs a 4.5, Ezekiel Elliott 4.47 and Le'Veon Bell 4.57
                    While Jones and Matthews (both 4.46) can be considered fast they are not "speed receivers" that you could count on stretching the field, especially when the majority of the top 20 or so fastest players in the NFL are CB's.

                        My guess is Dennison prefers the that can catch

                          Looking for speed with the 3rd oldest roster in the NFL.

                            Remember when the Redskins won Supers Bowls with OLD rosters?

                              Long long ago my friend.

                              The NFL has evolved into something else since.
