That's my guy!!!!! :thumbdown::w00t::thumbsup:

 

Leonard may not see a significant amount of playing time each week as a backup running back, but he will be seen as a hero by Bengals fans for the remainder of the season.

 

Worst thread of the season. Not because it's a pointless thread about the Bengals, but because you used the term "high motor". Awful, meaningless phrase.

I thought it went along nicely with what our team is all about. :thumbdown:

Brian is definitely a high motor kinda player. He's a blue collar guy who brings his lunch pail to work every day. He's very smart and savvy, almost like a coach on the field. He makes up for his limited athletic skills with his unmatched work ethic and heart. He's kind of like a cross between Brandon Stokely, John Lynch, Brian Urlacher, and Kyle Williams. I could only imagine what kind of player he'd be if he had the pure athleticism of Cedric Benson or D.D. Dorsey.

Agreed on Leonard. Speaks softly but carries a big stick. Classic show up and shut up guy. Any coach would love to have 53 guys like Brian Leonard. Just punches the clock and does his thing with quiet excellence.

He's definitely a throwback player with a linebacker mentality. Not an east-west runner who makes you miss a lot, but definitely a player who gets you the three yards and a cloud of dust. Every team needs a guy like him, he's a great change of pace back. He does a lot of the things that don't show up on the stat sheet.

 

...that's all the cliche i can dredge up now...

Apologies. If that's the case, then this Brian Leonard is a purebread athlete who leaves it all on the field. I mean this kid comes to play a full 60 minutes. A downhill runner that's not afraid to hit you in the mouth. He once had sex with a cigarette machine.

for some reason, when announcers are spewing this sort of cliche, they feel the need to emphatically use the phrase "in the National Football League" as if it gives it some additional significance - e.g., after throwing an INT, "you can't make plays like that in the National Football League."

 

That really helps as I'm watching an NFL game, because prior to that, I was thinking in the context of the St. Ignateus High School Intramural flag football league, where you can repeatedly throw ugly interceptions and not suffer any reprecussions... thanks for clarifying :thumbdown:

Good stuff. I posted not too long ago about the annoying tendency these days for announcers to use the vogue prefix and suffix of "at the ___________ position."

 

I guess their small minds think that by saying "You can't do that at the quarterback position" makes them sound more intelligent than if they simply said "You can't do that as a quarterback."

 

A) "A quarterback can't throw that pass in that situation."

 

B) "A person playing at the quarterback position in the National Football League can't throw that pass in that situation."

 

If they want guys who sound intelligent, why don't they just hire intelligent people?

I wish the Bills would have drafted him as a pass catching TE. :thumbdown:

 

 

He ended up at CIN in an odd way (these days). A player swap - Leonard for DT Orien Harris. STL cut Harris, and DET signed him, then recently cut him.

 

That's the way things go. STL couldn't find a way to keep Leonard on their roster, CIN the same with Harris, and then DET.

 

Harris got 4 solo tackles and 10 assists with CIN in '08 in spot duty. I can't say that I noticed his play, though. He could be an unpolished gem or a stiff - beats me.
