Special teams. That's the answer. They needed someone with versatility because Gifford didn't play. It's really that simple.

I'll take Cowing or Watkins being active along with Pearsall. Jist change the whole dynamic of how Seattle can play us.

Hopefully this mindset will contribute to them losing at home after having spent a week off not giving a f**k

Exactly. And what did Turner have? One rep and a drop?

Our fastest WR on the field last time was a 4.6 MAX.

D Rob is 4.56 but I can't remember if he took the field vs SEA. Did not go back and look at that butt whooping

Cowing would matchup well against Seattle if he was a good as some think. If you can isolate him against their bigger corner that is something they might can exploit. But Kyle scheme doesn't really do that as it focuses on attacking the rules of the defensive scheme and not necessarily the players.

Good way to beat size and strength is speed.

He did not look that fast in the Eagles game. He got open, but heck even HE didn't have confidence he could out run the secondary even though he had a few steps on them. He should have tried though, instead of cut up and down the field lol.

You would hope after seeing what Sigle's elite speed has done on defense, Kyle would give Watkins a chance on offense.

4.5 is like average wr speed on the NFL. It's not even fast.
The whole 40 thing is kind of bs anyway though. Should make the dudes run it in full gear.
A lot of these guys put the pads on and get way slower. A few of them are about as quick with the pads on.
To outrun the defense guys going to need to run a 4.4 or less and probably catch all the dbs flat footed.
On another note Jennings looked the fastest he's ever looked on that same pass. Sure it wasn't "fast" by NFL standards but he did look about average speed for an NFL wr. That's a massive improvement considering how slow he is.

Cowing ran a 4.38. That was at the combine before he suffered his recent injuries. That's not like some 4.25 guy. There aqre a lot of players that ran 4.38 or better. The Seahwaks have a DB that ran a 4.26 so I imagine he could keep up with Cowing.
