My point is running a boot leg isn't all about speed.
I played the QB position. Often times on a boot one of the DE goes unblocked. I am/was pretty fast, I also played WR,RB,and CB. One of the worst hits I can remember taking was against an unblocked DE on a boot to his side. I managed to get by him for a second after selling the play fake but this big boy was fast and when he caught up to me it wasn't pretty from my perspective. I scored a TD on that same drive and we went for two on the conversion. The two point play was another PA fake left and BL right hitting the TE on a little waggle play. My point being the next BL went the opposite way of the the DE that damn near killed me about 6 plays before.
Wts, you have to have some speed and agility to run a BL and run it properly.
