Anything in the 20 and 30's and you can market it as fast for a running back. However the only guys that can get away with being fast and still wearing 40 are safeties.

40's are for Fullbacks and Tight Ends that want to be cool.

Just look at how many 40's there are here.
pro bowl fullback - Google Search

Lorenzo Neal, Mike Alstott, Tony Richardson, Vontae Leach, Mike Sellers, Lawrence Vickers.

You want to wear a 40 number you have to be a complete bruiser. (see Stephen Davis and Ryan Torain).

Gale Sayers? Top five greatest RB ever and quick and elusive wore #40.

The offense looked solid - 450 yards, no turnovers, nearly 40 min. time of possession. But, much like last year, only 1 touchdown vs. 5 FG attempts. We need to get into the end zone more.

Defense also looks much better. Didn't like the four play touchdown drive we gave up, however. We played much better than the Steelers in the first half but were tied at halftime.

My biggest concern is the cb situation. We really should have extended Rogers. Def think we need to draft a cb with our first pick next year if grossman emerges as a legit starter.

Corner situation will improve when our prized safeties are thrown into the mix. Or at least Atogwe seeing as how OJ is among the better cover safeties in the league.

I don't think this is close to true. I would not put him in the top 30.

What he is here is a good scheme fit. He's not aggressive, but he'll stay over the top, keep the game in front of him, and be in position to make interceptions off of deflections. He's a huge tackling upgrade over Kareem Moore.

The biggest concern about our OL is that our starting LG, C, and RG all would be backups on any other team (if only because most teams still use man-blocking). And that our tackles still have a ways to go to be as good as our interior.

Trent Williams and Jammal Brown are the biggest, quickest, most-physical lineman on the roster. I'm getting a little worried about the constant underachieving with these two. They both have the ability to take elite pass rushers one on one. They were beat too often last year.

As long as they are healthy, I think we'll be fine with them. Something tells me Locklear is going to make at least a couple starts this year, irregardless of injury.

Yeah they were beat last year, but thats in the past. Brown injury and Trent inexperienced. I think we will see improvement.

Locklear pick up was a good one and yeah I think he has the ability to start, ill be surprised if he does.
