Re: Rookie tackle Rick Leonard's familiarity with Saints offensive line dates back to Florida State days

Those that know me personally know I won't hesitate to fall on my sword so that all may have the truth... The NFL rating service even had him at a R7-FA grade as well which NFL.com basically bases their information off of... But, whether you want to disagree or not with those far more recognized folks; this is a player who's only played a year and a half as an offensive lineman, and not with stand-out performances... Look Payton is a gambler and a showman and has the ego in-tow to boot and I love the Saints as much as anyone and love that he's like that on game day... Even when he's calling double reverses... But when it comes to building a team, just wish he and Mickey would defer to Ireland's "calm and disciplined influence" and actually let it have the most weight... Didn't expect the same haul we had last year, but was hoping for the same approach... I'm not so proudful that I want Davenport and/or Leonard to bust... I want them to be great Saints and I've checked much of my pessimism and criticism a great deal on their outlooks in my posts in hopeful anticipation that I'm wrong about their prospects in the Fall... Either way that works out, when it comes to the Draft, Payton reaches - period. And his moves fail far more often than not and is the single biggest handicap to this team's success... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
