Leonard to visit Cowboys

[CCBoy]

I like him as a hitting linebacker and in short yardage and in Red Zone that is a difference maker.

Just a heads up. Eagles LB Zach Cunningham was hurt and could miss time. Be weary the eagles may swoop in on this

Not been a problem for Jerry.... Just sayin'

Lol, this.

They are always lurking even when supposedly don’t have any cap room.

That is why I laugh so hard when so many want to say what a master of the cap stephan is

His reading ability and mobility would help against Hurts and the Eagles' run.

Who's the Cowboyd?

Me.. heh one of my 2 family names, Boyd.

Something to do with a back injury. With the medical team Jerry has on staff - if signed, it will be projecting and contract renegotiated. At this point in the season, aggressive matters.

He had 2 back surgeries last year. They said he wasn’t the same but he had like 69 tackles

He may still be playing decent but not at the level of his pay. They aren’t doing much and probably want to give play time to younger developing players.

Sometimes just sometimes coaching matter. Ownership matters and to my knowledge the Colts are awful at both.

Look how they did their All-Pro RB.

I just think he needs better coaching, better talent around him and get his health and confidence back

I don't think that they can pay what Dallas can.

Jerry's medical staff are top of line...I'd let them make an analysis and then seek attention of scouts and coaches. He still is a good as well as aggressive veteran. Certainly in comparison with young and smallish players at present.

I'd proceed with just that as to why...Coaches and staff are already aware of facts.

Anybody actually watch the colts? Is he washed? The guy went from one of the best defensive players in football to cut in like 2 years

I reviewed him in 5 full games.
3 from 2023

It is difficult to describe his play.

He tends to avoid leaving his feet or really dropping his shoulder into tackles.

I thought that was due to the injury, but he tended to play that way in previous seasons on many snaps.

In 2023 he looks fine physically but missed a significant number of tackles. He definitely appeared to be playing to avoid injury to some extent.

He Stills runs well and has good size. He definitely has good instincts. He was normally in the right spot at the right time, but just wasn't consistently making the tackles.

My projection is that mentally in his responses, he's about where Gallup is at present. A shirtless picture reveals very developed skeletal muscles. Some times he may miss a little focus on spaciel vision in responses. That should fully return.

Who the hell called him a master of the cap lol?

Thanks, this is good insight.

With Bell a bit gimpy right now, and the other LBers still coming along, I think this is still a worthy signing right now, for more depth...and the hope that he can be a run-stuffer.

I still say this team needs a LB (or two), and more o-line depth. And we should also consider a young, potentially-talented DT, if we happen to unearth one on someone's practice squad or in the draft.

Rumored nerve damage

He’s not the All Pro LB of years past, thats obvious.

But he’s a massive upgrade in depth and can play massive snaps if needed.

His back has not been a chronic long term issue.

Surgery June 2022
Surgery November 2022

2022
Played game 4
Missed 3 with concussion & broken nose.
Played 2 more games then IR.

Primary symptom was weakness in left leg.

He had an ankle issue in 2021 but still played 16 regular season games and was 1st Team All-Pro.

2023
-3 games over 80% of snaps.
- Avg about 70%.
- Generally replaced on passing downs.

Evans can play.

Giants game Evans played more snaps than Bell or Clark.

Looked good except 1 play where he and a teammate collided with each other instead of the ball carrier and had a penalty on ST.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I find it hard to believe they’d cut this guy if he was ballin out. Something is definitely up

I find it impossible to believe. This is a talent acquisition business.
