Colts' LB Darius (Shaq) Leonard released

[TheMarathonContinues]

He was coming off the field against the pass.

I read he was coming off the field on 3rd downs...that doesn't mean just the pass.

Correct you take on his deal. You’re paying average linebacker player elite money

Wow - no thanks. Not at his current level of play.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

No it wasn't funny. Shaquem Griffin has one hand not one arm, but nice try making his handicap part of your joke for likes.

Yeah he tried a bit hard for that "lol"....fell flat.

Yeah - he is a handful that is for sure... I wish he was busy watching "Laker" games.

What I read was, he was coming off the field in obvious passing situations and was being used more as a run defender only.

Well....if true that's still ok. We're ok in coverage. I need a thumper who can help out on the run. I'd take a two down linebacker.

Nobody is taking that contract. He will clear waivers and then get signed.

On obvious running downs, playing Bell at LB is not particularly beneficial. Just sayin.

 

[rambo2]

If Dallas signs him the take will be that he isn't good. If Philly signs him the take will be that is what a real gm does.

They could have traded him for a bag of nuts a week or so ago if he had any worth. He's probably done.

Not with the contract that he has.

Bell has been playing well, not sure why this comment

Why trade for him when he's gonna get cut?

Bell has played well but I do wonder what happens when a team runs on us 25 plus times in a game.......But i'm more so worried about the other guys then him.

 

[SuperBowlz]

Yeah but every single team isn't considered the GOAT or the best GM of all time either now are they?

No, but even the GOAT teams/gm's have made huge misses. The Giants passed in the supplemental draft on Reggie White when they had a young LT. Could you imagine those two together
The point is Howie misses but is smart enough to see it and fix it. Hence... AJ Brown. No one thinks Howie is the GOAT GM anyways but he has built the most talented roster in the NFL after rebuilding from a recent SB win.

He's playing well on downs that he's not getting targeted on running plays. Broaddus noted recently that a lot of the success offenses have enjoyed running against us is correlated with running the ball at Bell. Pretty sure I'm paraphrasing Broaddus accurately, but yeah, I'm relying on his eyes and reporting for that conclusion... not something I've studied personally.

Brian Broddus says that the football Gods have thrown the Cowboys a linebacker that can play.

I'm talking about the Eagles. Y'all can deflect all y'all want. Howie has some great traits but he's had some misses. No one talks about the Golden Tate trade. Or drafting Artega Whiteside over DK Metcalf....or Reagor over Justin Jefferson.....thank goodness they drafted Devonta Smith to stop this trainwreck but then they drafted him and passed up Micah....had they drafted Jefferson they wouldn't have had to pass up Micah....but all hail Howie....

Broddus is high on him for sure.

Still think if you sign Leonard, you're effectively giving up already on Evans. Roster spot has to come from somewhere. Doubt Leonard's going to be open to spending some time on a practice squad.
