Arrington...

He was good because of his speed. Never was the consistent reliable get the job done guy. Never the power guy. Never the full package coverage/run guy.

He was what he WAS...amazing...because he reacted quickly to a play and got to the ball like a missle. Well, now that he isn't even fast for a linebacker, just average i'd say...so you have a guy out there who doesn't cover well, doesn't stuff the run well, doesn't take care of his assignment well, and therefore doesn't play well.

Think about all of his great plays, he flew across to make a tackle, ran down a guy like he was standing still, caved in aikmans head on a play where 99% of other linebackers wouldn't have gotten close to him before he was out of bounds.

You add speed and every bit of that changes......I hope he doesn't find that speed against us.
