If we went WCO, yes he would.
I'm done arguing this. Leonard will not be a Steeler.

Nope.
But I am 95% positive Leonard won't be one of them.

I dont know about many other teams, but I promise you the Pittsburgh Steelers will not look at him before the 5th round and according to most draft boards he'll be long gone by then.

Did I actually read where at one point cutwolf actually said that FWP could block in the passing game? I recall numerous occasions where he single handedly got Ben whacked. FWP is a terrible blocker.
I also question the statement that FWP gained the majortiy of his yards in single back sets. Do you have data to back this up or are you guessing? I tend to think otherwise and that Kreider was the lead blocker for the majority of the yardage gained. Just my opinion though and wonder if you might actually know what you are talking about on this one or if you are just blowing off. |

Inferring = educated guessing.
You just talk, despite the fact you cannot even hope to talk football on my level.
| Quote: | | Leonard is a better blocker |
False. Wrong. BS. *buzzer*
Since you won't trust my judgment, I guarantee you for every 1 scouting report you find that says he is a good blocker, I can find you 2 that say he needs improvement in that area.
Now, I'm not saying he is a bad blocker.
He's an adequate blocker. Nothing more.
Also, Willie Parker gained the majority of his yards out of single back sets. The fullback is no longer vital to our offense.
So? Kreider has 59 receptions in 7 years. Not because he is incapable, but because we don't use our FBs like that.
Haynes has 57 receptions over 5 years.
Hardly worth a 2nd round pick.
| Quote: | | He's also FAR from slow, running a 4.4 in the combine. |
His official combine time was 4.52 at every source I read. I'd like a link to this 4.4, unless you made it up.
| Quote: | | He's the PERFECT 3rd down back |
So you'd spend a 2nd round pick on a guy who would see only a few snaps a game and participate in even less?
| Quote: | | He also wouldn't be 3rd string as someone said he'd be. He'd be 2nd string, splitting carries with Fast Willie, and getting situational play-time. IDEAL pickup, especially after our new coach has went on record stating he wants to pick up another stud RB. We already have a traditional RB, why not get someone who adds something new, instead of replicating everything Fast Wilie does? BTW, some mocks have him going Rd1 to the Patsy-cakes at #28. |
I'd take:
Kolby Smith
Jackie Battle
DeShawn Wynn
Dwayne Wright
over Leonard to be our backup RB. All can be had in rounds 4 or later.
We're an 8-8 team. Leonard in 2 would be a luxury pick.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Now if there were only more that could back up their opinions with facts....at any rate...maybe the above mentioned individual is simply confused and really the Browns GM? I think many of his ideas fall directly inline with almost all of their philosophies |
Are you sure you wanna graduate before you're actually ready to talk football with the big boys? I suggest you sit down, shut up, and observe for awhile longer. |
I still can't believe your arrogant butt hasn't been banned from here yet. It sure should have been by now. Telling people to shut up, always talking down, that's flaming, period. Every damn post you make is against the rules in one way or another. You even admitted in your first sentence here that you GUESS. Educated or not, it's STILL A GUESS. So don't try and act like you know everything, because quite frankly you don't know anything most of the rest of us don't know. The other sentence that proves you know nothing is when you say Leonard isn't a better blocker than Fast Willie. That's Willie's weakest point, and he's a definite liability in pass blocking. That's why if we're running 4 WR sets, Leonard would be the man in there, not FWP. He'd get more than a few snaps per game too. I saw it live on NFL N during the combine where he ran a 4.4 in the 40. Might've been 4.49 (not sure anymore), but it was in the 4.4s. So it's a bit hard to provide a link to something I SAW ON TV. Don't call me a liar or fabricator.
The only reason we're 8-8 is because of injuries to Big Ben and Troy Polamalu. If EITHER of them had been healthy, we'd have been a playoff team. Twist it any way you like, to suit your pathetic agenda, but fact remains we're still one of the best teams in the NFL if healthy. Well, we were till we hired a coach who probably has no business being a HC....he sure didn't have any business being a DC.

Jayme, you just had to get that little Tomlin jab in there before you could close your argument. You had a great argument going against him and then put yourself on his level by saying Tomlin has no business being a DC let alone an HC.
Apparently the other guy doesn't know much about football, but you know enough that Tomlin was the 100% wrong choice for the Steelers head coaching position, thats not being too hypocritical.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, why didn't the Rooney's contact you when they were doing their head coaching search, you seem to know more than everyone else about Tomlin, damn I can't believe we made that mistake. OUR FRANCHISE IS RUINED BECAUSE OF ANOTHER BAD HC CHOICE FOR THE STEELERS!

Actually Rutgers didnt ask Leonard to pass protect often Ray Rice had more blitz pickup work then
Leonard...His run blocking is awful...Pass blocking is putrid..I dont like Leonard...He doesnt compare to Hoge or Riggins...He is Tommy Vardell II
| Quote: | | Don't get my wrong, I like Brian Leonard and Rutgers was one of my favorite teams to watch this season. However, it doesn't change the fact that Leonard isn't a true fullback or tailback. A team with several needs almost can't afford to draft Leonard on the first day. The team who will eventually draft him, possibly as high as the 2nd round, will be a team who has the luxury of adding a multi-faceted player who is a jack-of-all, master-of-none running back. |

I know the real reason Jayme loves Leonard and hates Tomlin.
But we can't discuss certain things on this board.

Let me just tell you how stoked I am to read a Tommy Vardell reference. I haven't thought of that guy since the days of playing Tecmo Bowl on my Sega. (I feel old....) |

Ha, Ha, Ha...you are absolutley hilarious! I mean, wait hold on while I get back up on my chair...ok I just fell off from laughing again. Wow, so anyway, kind of funny how you suggest I need to graduate and grow up and then YOU say the most grown up thing I have ever heard with "shut up" I would say the same to you, but my mother taught me a long time ago not to talk to people like that with such a lack of respect. (And no, im not afraid to admit that I wish you were taught the same as well). If you dont want to treat me with respect, whatever. Im not going to cry becasue of some wacko's opinion of me on the internet.
The real issue with you is the fact that You are able to make negative remarks about someones sexual orientation, and remarks about someones skin color and the reason they dont do well on tests all in one day. Thats pretty sad. If my worst flaw is that I would sit and have a conversation with anyone from any walk of life from any part of the world, im quite proud. But hey look, its individuals who say things like you do that make me thankful for many of the other people on this forum.
By the way, thank you Jayme.
Anyway this guy can get banned?? |

I appreciate the fact you capitalized "You" when referring to me.
Not sure when I made remarks about ones sexual orientation.
The remark about skin color was a social comment, not a racial comment. There is a lot more I could say about the issue to continue to put you in your place, but race discussions are off limits here.
I suggest you follow the board rules.
Thanks!
