In fact, it didn't appear to me, that either player had their full-out speed on.

Blackmon came back to catch the ball, while the other DB was already running the angle. Blackmon hesitated, and looked back. I think this was the bigger factor.

Blackmon has big play ability, I expect him to get a PR TD this year

Rewatching that play, once Blackmon got going full speed he was creating space

I've never seen him run

icecougar

he had to pause and wait for the pass, then was looking over his shoulder...
