So does this mean that we'll see Leonhard on the defence?

Almost every time we've gone to our 3-3-5 Defense that Leonhard plays in on obvious passing situations, we've had a degree of success. I am not putting that down to Leonhard, but he is part of that package and as we go forward I think he is going to be playing more and more.
Mike Adams has shown he can play man coverage on 'move' Tight Ends, so expect to see us use him as a LB on 3rd and 6/7/8+ with Leonhard at Safety a lot more.
I didn't see any all 22 in the preseason so I don't know a great deal about Duke. He isn't likely to be claimed, so lets calm people.

I love this signing. How long has it been since we have had a legitimate TD scoring threat in our return game? (That's a serious question. I literally can't think of one. And dont say Eddie Royal he had 1 good return game.)
Holliday will help us hugely in the return game and can probably if properly utilized be a nice change of pace weapon on offense.
OVerall great move!!

The Texans cut him because he was ineffective as a returner. Just saying.

I just want to say that not every team has "a legitimate TD scoring threat" in their return game. Actually, I cant name more than 10 teams that do. And most of them arent elite teams. This position is just not as important to NFL coaches that are looking for quality depth.

While true, he gives us a threat though, something Leonard wasn't at PR.

He wasn't a threat to turn it over either. I understand what people are saying, but I hope we don't learn the hard way that a safe KR/PR isn't always a bad thing.

What are you talking about?? Eddie had several good games as a returner in Denver. He was consistently (when healthy) one of the best punt returners in the AFC. Had a game just last season when he had a monster return for a TD against the Raiders.
Trindon Holliday has done absolutely NOTHING in real NFL games. So what if he had 3 returns for TD's in the 3rd and 4th quarter of pre-season games. It's just funny you act like we got prime Devin Hester, when in reality the guy has done squat. No need to put down Eddie Royal to make Holliday seem better than he really is.

I mean besides Eddie's three touchdowns or whatever, he was not good. If you think opposing teams were scared of Royal as a return man, you are wrong. One of the best in the AFC?
Desean Jackson.............that's all I think about when I think about Eddie Royal.

DB Duke Ihenacho. |
That kind of ticks me off. Nacho's at least got upside on the defensive side of the football. Leonhard has no upside there, and he wont be returning punts anymore.
I know Duke will be back on our practice squad if he's not claimed, but I wish they'd have just left him on the active roster, if for no other reason than the confidence. |
They trust Leonard to play S more than him and if Holliday goes down he's there. He should be back on PS so its not really troubling.

Preseason ST usually has makeshift units and a lot of errors are made. they dont even group the best ones together. Im interested in seeing what Holiday has but he wasnt doing well in Hou.

Is Desean Jackson regarded that highly around the league? I find him as a straight bruner who doesn't do much else..

Gotta disagree with you. Eddies a solid returner, quite good actually.
11.9 average per return is really good.
Rick Upchurch(about the best I've ever seen) had a career 12.1 avg and scored 8 PR TD's. Thats 2.3 per 80 returns. Eddies just a hair behind with 2.0 per 80.
True, he's not as Electric as Upchurch but almost as effective. |

Well he has been right around 1000 yards receiving every year of his career. I would say he is possibly the best big play receiver in the game.

Okay, I'm fine calling him solid. I'm surprised by that statistic because I predominantly remember him falling forward with a weak return more often than not. I'm just going off what I remember from 3-4 years of watching him, I haven't looked at the statistics.

I always root for the little guy. Here is to hoping that Trindon lights it up.
