XL was a 4.39 40 guy. Is that slow now?

Also, Tet didn't run a slow 40. He ran basically the same general 40 time(4.5-4.6) that guys his size usually do(minus the freaks). Evans, Hopkins, London, etc.

combine be damned there is no way you can argue XL is a fast player watching his tape, same with Tet.  They are not fast players.  Mike kaye even made a thing about it last training camp

 

Mike Kaye, a writer for the Charlotte Observer, described Xavier Legette's running style as "awkward" and "like he has pebbles in his shoes". This description suggests that Legette's running form is not as smooth and efficient as some other NFL players, and he appears to be a bit off-balance despite his speed.

Funny enough, I thought to myself when we didn’t take Walker that he was gonna end up in the division and whoop our ass for the next decade… went upstairs to put my kids to bed and came back down to find ATL took him.  Never fails.

XL was able to run by some guys last season and then promptly dropped the ball or didn't track it correctly.

I will say that he definitely doesn't play like a sub-4.4 guy. 

But he is in no way shape or form "slow."

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
