Fastest Redskin

With all the speed on this team, who is our fastest player? Coles, Canidate, P. Johnson, Russell, Jacobs, Bailey?

THis topic comes up every once in a while, I'd say Russell, Bailey and Canidate are the fastest. It is fun to think about how fast our team is since Marty.

The fastest time I've found for Jacobs is a high 4.3. I've heard Coles could match that or even better. However I seem to remember a 4.2 mentioned with Russell.

I woudl tend to think at this poitn it woudl be Russell. From what I have heard, he is a small fraction faster than prior to his knee. If that is the case, man this guy is a burner.

I think it's Russell too but Coles, Johnson and Candidate were always one 3 of the fastes guys in the league, so I hope they're right when they say speed kills.

The fastest Redskin is a member of the Eagles, can you spell, James Thrash?

Little did Candiman know that we had faster linemen than Thrash.

What's up with that pic Spear?

I have to agree it is either Russell or Coles

Whomever it is that picks up the tee after kickoffs....

Skins57 · #11 07-08-2003, 09:53 PM

Does anyone remember the story of the dog that retrieved the tee... or was that a movie.... heck what do I know

i would say from what i've read that Russell is the fastest but let us not forget that P. Johnson was a world class sprinter. plus you have the reports that coles was blowing away our secondary in the mini camps. i still think DG would give them all a run for their money though lol

Trung was clocked at 4.25 out of college.

Quote:

Canidate wasn't widely projected as a first-rounder but offensive guru Martz was too taken with him to risk losing him before the Rams' second-round pick. Most attractive is Canidate's speed -- he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.25 seconds when Martz paid a visit to Arizona.

"Nobody runs a 4.25," Martz said Saturday. "He just kind of took my breath away to be honest with you.

"Canidate will be used primarily to give Faulk a breather in the first and second quarter for a play or two," Martz said. "To put Trung back in there and not skip a beat, especially with the speed that he has, is a big issue for us. It allows us to keep doing what we do on offense."
