Why would someone's speed rating fall in 2-3 years?

[King Gro23]

The guy on page three posted exactly why the ratings dropped, this thread is funny. Just change the ratings if you disagree. EA actually gave us power to do that.

This thread isn't look too pretty.

Tha doesn't even matter, because his straight SPEED should be high, his accel/agility should be high, but they have no reason for his speed to be low. Hence again, one of the FASTEST S in the NFL.

I have to agree here...that 4.36 was quite impressive and I have seen him run down loads of players in coverage and on special teams. He shows some good speed on some of these returns...

Ben Watson outran Champ Bailey on an INT return a few years ago, actually caught him from the other side of the field. Should Watson have Better speed than Bailey?

I guess he's fast, but if you want to see speed on an INT return, look no further.

Let's see...prolly not. Did Bailey get held up at all or was it all open field? Have a video link?

4.28 v. 4.57...
