Chilly Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 oh, umm, i was sorta serious. are they not? Oh, I thought you were saying thats why he was running so slow - he no longer had to run from the cops.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 hahaha, i wish i could now go back and take credit for that joke, but alas, i was responding to the post above mine.
Lurker Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I don't want speed...I want production. A RBs primary assets are vision and instinct, not 40 time. Marv will be looking for the next Thuman, IMO.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Brian Leonard is a hard working kid. He will make some team very very happy for years to come. He ran stiff in the runnig back drills ...this is why he`a now lighter fullback. He`s got talent but by no mean`s a halfback
DrDawkinstein Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 brian leonard will be in the hall of fame right next to Tim Tindale

The way it looks now-Lynch will be there for our pick. I hope it stays that way so we at least "have the choice" of taking him.

Koufax Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 40 speed is a nice luxury addition for a RB, but relatively low on my priority list, well behind actual running ability. A lot of guys run faster times than Emmitt Smith ever did without being anywhere near the player. It is nice to have "and nobody is going to catch him!" speed in the open like Barry Sanders and LT, but it is a secondary perk to being a great explosive runner in the first 5-15yards. 40 times matter much less for RBs than for WR/DBs simply because the much lower percentage of football time actually running in the open field.
