I think that his speed is negated by the porous offensive line.  We can't protect long enough to get off deep shots, so we have to switch gears and start playing the possession receivers.  Everything is going to be contested, and we need the guys who can come down with tough balls around the marker to move the chains.  If we can do that consistently, teams can't crowd the box, and the run game will become more effective.  Get that going, and there will be opportunities for Green, Boyd, and/or Thomas down the field on play action passes.
