Don't get it. It is easier to swallow a 29 year old safety leaving that hasn't played 16 games 6 years, especially when there is a second round pick from last year right behind him. Burnett was a solid player for us, but he might have like 2 years left playing and doesn't really fit a big need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our WRs were the slowest in the league last year. We added King and Jones for this very reason. We are a slow team. We're improving, but use your eyes, this isn't a top 10 team for athletic ability. Yeah, that's my point. We added King and Jones, Randall was fast, pretty sure all our unrafted defensive backs are fast... We still sucked. Speed isn't everything. No team has ever won the Super Bowl because they're faster than the other team. The Patriots aren't exactly burners on offense or defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of successful 4.6+ corners. You still need a guy that can line up across from the big dogs like Julio and Dez, hopefully that's King. Randall was a moderate athlete, but just soft. Why he's getting moved further from the LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Penske Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 On here and draft twitter, I seem to keep coming across the idea that Gutey is somehow following the "Eagles model of not wanting to have good secondary" and that he isn't exploring avenues to upgrade CB. That seems to contradict what Gutey said in his press conference of looking hard at improving that position. So which is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would believe that too if we didn't try to get Kyle Fuller despite how futile it was lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just didn't pay a lot for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that you need to be the fastest team in the NFL to win. But being the slowest is a problem. We have speed on the defense now, great. We need some speed at WR, which I think everyone would agree with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they need is one burner who isn't a liability when he's on the field. Currently our burners are liabilities in the pass game (Janis and Davis, despite the cool man bun).
