So it appears that whomever plays that position will lead the team in tackles in this defense. I can't remember any real impact play Leonard made. For him to be worth a 20 million cap hit he will need to do more. It is one of the reason stats can be misleading.

Some guys think he's playing like shit. I'm not one of them. He's just not where he was (yet, hopefully). Even really good LB's are not worth $19m. It's all a financial quandry.

He had 11 tackles last week. But yes, tackles definitely have context. Hopefully, we look back and say it was a sign of him becoming more active en route to regaining form. We'll see.

What made him great was also a very unorthodox style. We shouldn't be waiting for him to look like Zaire Franklin.

He was never, ever one of these thumpers that would just stick a guy in the ribs. At his peak, you could always say he kind of looks like he's avoiding contact with RB's and lead blockers. He was never a "standard" Fred Warner, Roquan Smith, Devon White type LB. Franklin is.

Leonard would look a little more awkward, but then he'd produce like 8 pass breakups, 4 ints, 5 sacks 8 forced fumbles, 12tfls, etc. over the season. Weird shit.

I would love it if Leonard would read each and every post in this thread at 12:30 PM ...... and then come back and comment about them after the completion of today's game.
