Hamlin watching Henry run away from him was depressing. The same thing happened to Poyer with Cook, but at least he's ancient. Hamlin is only 26. He's not getting any faster. 

 

What's up with Edwards? He was a solid starter for KC, and now he's behind the likes of Rapp and Hamlin. I had high hopes for the Edwards-Bishop pairing. 

You know that Henry is actually pretty fast, right? Not saying Hamlin isn’t slower, but Henry has run away from plenty of DBs throughout his career

He is fast, but not WR fast. He ran a 4.54 at the combine. I realize speed isn't everything, but you want safeties who can run down running backs when the coverage is blown. For example, Bishop ran a 4.45. (N.B., Simmons is even slower than Hamlin.)

Henry takes time to build up to top speed - that hurts your 40 time.  But once you are chasing him I don't recall seeing anybody catch him from behind.

No he isn’t, they cross train. They'll sub a LB out with safety in certain situations, they did it with Dodson and Poyer last year.

 

Cine is one of the more athletically talented guys on the roster. 

I believe he is being trained at both
