BRETSKY ALERT: Jim Leonard Talking to Packers

[sharpe1027]

We want a short, slow, old guy why again?

Because the tall, fast, young guys did so well last year...

perhaps we'd take a short slow guy who can play over the young fast idiots we watched last year who could not

He can play? Hmm. That seems to be in some doubt.

I don't understand how you fix a position by bringing in marginal players. We already have Chris Banjo.

Badger hater......; have you followed Leonard's career ? Why would you compare him to Banjo ? I consider him serviceable at worst. More than what we had last year.....aka....junk.

As I noted, last year I felt like he would have helped this team.

However, with our assignment sure secondary and safety crew....why consider brining somebody in with leadership skills who is reliable....don't need that.

Honestly I'm not pounding the table for Leonard anymore. He would have certainly helped years ago when TT showed no interest years ago. I'm just pointing out we rarely consider veterans with stability to we won't consider him.

On the other hand, would it hurt to bring in some assignment sure veterans with leadership skills ?

Trying to "fix" things with marginal players is the TT way. Plus he'd be cheap, it's amazing Ted hasn't signed him.

You forgot young, with upside.

I don't think anybody said or implied they should or would bring in Leonhard to start. But bringing him in as a backup - an improvement to the backups already there? That's worth doing. He's always been a ball hawk and a smart player and a clutch player. That puts him at least 3 steps ahead of Banjo and Richardson and a couple of others now gone. Besides, Leonhard used to be a decent punt returner. It always helps to have extras of those.
