There’s no question that Gunter has looked like a football player through the first eight practices. He’s been physical and around the ball. But it’s also true that such a pedestrian 40 time almost never leads to a successful career at this level. Between 2010 and 2012, 16 cornerbacks ran over 4.6 at the combine. Of that group, only five are still active in the National Football League.

Speed matters. They run the 40 and make evaluations off it more than any other active metric. He doesn't have it.

The list of guys who play with speed like his are non existent. The 4.6+ guys are hamstrung and this guy was 4.69.

Not counting on him at all. Nice TC story though.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Is Zero getting all dictator-y about formatting and articles he has linked on the site? Green button - what? I hardly know how to capitalize a sentence, let alone do whatever the hell he's talking about.

Good coverage guy; A little too slow; Pretty good size; Apparently a good enough tackler, as he was put on the kick coverage team; All of that to me, adds up to being switched to Strong Safety. I never liked Sean Richardson because he's not good in coverage. Give Gunter a shot at his spot.

I honestly don't know what keeps Richardson on this team.
It shouldn't be hard for Gunter to beat him out.

Sadly Most of Richardsons overpaid salary is guaranteed this year, so it won't happen just yet. I think that is the most likely switch. Though I don't believe 40 times are everything a near 4.7 is not a time for a starting CB! I guess we'll really see when the pads come on in the preseason. I think he'll be a good option to put on bigger athletic tightends in some packages though if he shows he can cover as well in games as he is reported to in practice.

According to nfldraftscout.com  Richard Sherman ran a 4.60 at the combine. Bump and run corners seem to tend to run slower. It would be interesting to see how fast Tramon Williams and Al Harris could run a 40 yard time toward the end of their career as they clearly lost a step (and weren't the fastest to begin with) but still could play at a high level.

Harris was slow for sure. Tramon? I don't know if he was anywhere near as slow has Harris. Harris was the guy who just got torched vs. Plaxico in that embarrassing playoff loss to the NYG. We shouldn't have had a turtle like him out there defending in a game of that magnitude against a player like Burress.

If Gunter can hang it will be a miracle.
