He might run a 4.69 down a hill..or falling out of an airplane..but when chasing receivers? no chance, not anymore at least.

4.69

IOW a tenth slower than ed reed

He's not even in the same stratosphere as Ed Reed. But few are.

Also... can't recall the last time Ed Reed tore his achilles.



That seems to be the part that missing here. He didn't have a lot of speed to give up. Achilles injuries have an effect on a players speed/quickness like no other injury. Meaning, he will be slower.

Cling to that one pass break up all you want. The rest of us will reserve judgement and hope for the best.

holy fuck are you serious dude? barry church isnt in the same stratosphere as the best safety of all time? wow you would have thought I knew that already and was solely comparing them on a basis of "do they have enough speed to get the job done".

right it's just a foregone conclusion that this guy will barely be able to move out there.

Are we really comparing Ed Reed to Barry freakin Church? It's like referring to politics and comparing Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan.

You're the one that brought up Ed Reed like that meant something.

Just as much as it's a forgone conclusion that he'll be able to return as to pre-injury form as you seem to think.

Guess we'll see....

I had little faith in Church before his injury, now I have zero.

The odds are against him that's for sure.
