Interesting topic to broach - who WOULD be the Vikings 4 x 200 team?

Wallace would be my choice for anchor. Waynes, Rhodes, Charles Johnson, Adrian, Jarius Wright, and Patterson would all also be in consideration for the other three spots.

If I'm not mistaken, the five fastest 40-yard dash times (combine) on the roster belong to:

1) Trae Waynes: 4.31
2) Mike Wallace: 4.33
3) Josh Robinson: 4.33
4) Cordarrelle Patterson: 4.37
4) Xavier Rhodes: 4.37
Honorable mention: Jerick McKinnon: 4.38, Charles Johnson: 4.38
Bouncer/snacks? Phil Loadholt: 5.49

Rick and Zimmer seem to think speed kills. I hope they are right, and aernt missing the talent/execution part of the game.

I mean sure, Big Phil's numbers look bad in a 40 yard dash, but we're talking about 200. He's probably the fastest guy on the team when it comes to long distance. He just has to get that momentum going.

If Teddy can figure out how to time his long ball, with the timing to Wallace, with AD in the backfield all year, it will be a very interesting seasonr. Im looking forward to it, and its not even summer yet. I feel like im 12 years old.

Still too much friction... I was thinking free fall.

He might try rolling too. That could work.

You left out the next fastest/or fastest guy on the team, Josh Robinson

Can you imagine him rolling in a tractor tire down a hill? That's basically a weapon of mass destruction.

Zombie Phil Loadholt rolling downhill at Mike Wallace inside a studded tractor tire.

To be fair to Phil, I bet he's the fastest if they all weighed 343

Right, its got to be adjusted to a pound for pound scale.

I would pay good money to see that.
