Opinnion on Leonard
 

I don't analyze the individual play of each player the way some on here do, so I thought I'd get an opinion on Leonard's play in this last game. Is he improving?

I've always been a fan of his, so if he could actually return to the player he was before his injuries, I'd see this LBing crew as one of the best in the NFL.

He's no longer The Maniac. Not in play or in demeanor.

The lack of hit on Ingram was deplorable and I had given up hope. I will say there were two plays late that he seemed to show a little flash of the old Leonard. So.... jury still out but not high on the prospects of a return to the form of old.

Incomplete ...... there have been many basketball players who have had their noses broken during a game, and it took them some time to play as daringly and ruggedly under the boards as they did prior to the broken nose ...... but many of them did indeed gradually play their way back to their previous form.

Granted that being a linebacker in football is different than being a center or a forward in basketball, but the timidness/reluctance to go all out immediately after coming back from an injury is a common variable.

I remember disruption in the middle, int’s, and punching the ball out.

I don’t remember any of that from him since he came back. Just not the same.

he is just a guy out there imo.


but sunday was the best he has looked

Just wondering if those that watch the Colts games in depth have seen any improvement in the play of Leonard. I posted this question once before, but it seems to have disappeared.

I'm nothing more than a casual fan, so I will only comment rather than access his play in depth, I have not really noticed him in games, I often forget he is even out there, and that can't be good!

I think Bradley gave him some praise after the jags game saying he did some good things out there. He got dinged a couple games ago and didn’t play well. Last I looked at his eval numbers it was on par with the other linebackers. Of course that is below the old Leonard we were used to.
