If you want to talk 10 second splits that is different, but not even a big deal. Joey Bosa's 4.88 compared to Charlton's 4.91 isn't the magic difference in future success. William Gholston had a bunch of success with a 4.98 40 time, how does he rush without speed! Robert Ayers and his 4.9 must be using magic to get to the QB. Of course the clone comparison height weight and so on Michael Bennet has somehow gotten 45.5 sacks with his 5 second 40. The reality is if everything is about sprinting up field to "run the loop" you are getting washed out by any reasonably good LT.

He could not pan out for a number of reasons, but using speed is simply a cop out answer.

Do you even read the post before picking out one word and responding?  I thought I provided a clear, yet concise, explanation that if one doesn't have outside speed it makes their inside game that much more difficult.  You cited guys that are massively strong and a great deal of their success comes from getting inside or a straight up bull-rush.  If you think Allen, with his shoulders and the massive level of talent around him at Bama, is one that can win that way, great.  I dont.
