Bengals To Use RB Brian Leonard As Third-Down Back

Leonard was used mostly as a fullback in St. Louis, but the Bengals are looking at him more as a third-down back. Im looking forward to that, Leonard said. I still have a lot of skills and can catch the ball out of the backfield. I had some idea that I might be traded. Theres a new coaching staff in so you dont know what they want or expect. I went through both minicamps but I guess they decided to go in another direction.

uhhh, Usually the third down back is fast, I would try DeDe Dorsey.

 

He catches the ball very well tho, and if he gets in the open field he can break a few tackles, god pickup for the bengals.

 

usually the third down RB can catch, DeDe Dorsey couldn't catch AIDS in an African tramphouse

 

usually the third down back is shifty and fast

 

does shifty and fast mean a quick return to his usual roster spot, the IR lol

 

the point is the bengals need a better third down back, and trading for a fullback to catch screens and flares and expecting them to pick up 5-8 yards every time will not work.

 

have you ever seen leonard run? hes no fullback, you say that because hes white.

racist

 

Leonard is not a fullback, the Rams tried to put him there becuase they had a bunch of RB's. He is a HB and can run and catch and block, all the things a third down back needs to do in the NFL.

 

hes just racist

 

don't tell the NAACP

 

or the NAAAA

 

He's a tweener, and not in the good sense. He wasn't an NFL caliber runner and certainly not a blocker and in a way was overrated coming out of college because he's white.

And once again, his name is added to a long list of recent high round blowouts in the draft for us.
