There is positive and negative, and there is reality and fantasy.        The worst thing you can do for a football player and a team is tell them they're something they aren't.

These numbers you posted are not fast.    Not for DB's at  the level of competition we are playing at.   That's reality.    There are ways around it, because football IMO is the greatest team sport there is, and the greatest strategic and tactical game of planning and execution and all that big word stuff.      And I talked about it already.   On defense,  If we can't stop the run effectively on first and second downs with solid gap control from a 7 man front, we're in trouble - not just Thursday - but until we get players who can.      If we can, then things aren't so bad when you're consistently putting the opposing offense into 3rd and longs.    On offense,  we need to be able to score points, get ahead on the board, and control the LOS and clock.      Edsall had a habit of squeaking out games in the past with solid special teams play and hidden yardage, and points from ST's too, to help that out.      We'll see.
