This was going to be a Leonhard thread, but...
 

After having so much fun with the Lewis thread, I thought it'd be interesting to discuss Jim Leonhard a bit. With all of the talk about the other three, Jim's totally flying under the radar. It seems like he has the skills to put Harper in the hopper. (That sounds great with a wicked New England accent by the way.) So I came upon this article from our favorite substitute Charmin. You'll be thinking this is an article about Leonhard from the title, but -just like this thread- it's another take on Rob instead.

I'm not big on him, but it wouldn't shock me to see him overachieve this year. No pressure is on him to be amazing.

Perfect opportunity.

I'm more curious about Jim's knee and if he is 100% healthy right now.

After being with Rex for 8 years he should have pretty decent knowledge of the scheme... A great learning tool for the rest of the players

I like this guy I hope he doesn't get in the number game meaning he's good enough to make the team but he's the odd man out. Which I see it happening because Kenny, Harper, Jenkins are going to make the team and then there's Bush and Leonhard so who do you keep out of Bush and Leonhard?

Re: This was going to be a Leonhard thread, but...
 

You let Jenkins go and you improve the secondary immediately......you could even keep harper if necessary.

No reason you couldn't keep 4 corners and 5 safeties instead of 5 corners and 4 safeties. Jenkins has moved down to corner so often in his career already he can swing back and forth easily.

I'd rather keep IAQ than Bush.

Re: This was going to be a Leonhard thread, but...
 

Yep, agree

Re: This was going to be a Leonhard thread, but...
 

this.

Re: This was going to be a Leonhard thread, but...
 

I am reserving my opinion until we see what Ryan does with everyone on the Defense...

Last years performance of everyone is pretty much hazy due to the fog of Spags...

I will say that Quddus has tripled Bush's 3 years stats in 1 year.

Forgot about him, ditto.
