    Admit it.

    This guy's been a better addition than Bart Scott, and I like Bart Scott. The guys been great. He's money. He's great when it matters, he's even great without a helmet. He's Chrebet on defense. Perhaps better.

    He started us off LAST week upending that Bengal reception at the five, he did it again today when his helmet flew off and we got hosed on the challenge that followed. How about that pick???

    Let's show Jim Leonhard some love. After Revis, He's been our best defensive player. Let's just admit it. He's been GREAT.

    Go!

    Nick Mangold, Sanchez, O'Connell, Ainge, Clemens, Woodhead, Eric Smith, and Alan Faneca are so Chrebet-like.

    Jim Leonhard has been sick this year, but I wouldn't call him our 2nd best defensive player. Harris?

    Good player, but I don't think he deserves that much credit

    WTF was up with that reversal on the fumble ?

    It was CONCLUSIVE that he did fumble, not that it showed otherwise.....something about a 'football move' -- WTF is that ?

    He had possession...he had 2 feet on the ground.....what is this 'football move' crap that the announcers said he had to do ?

    If you catch the ball and stay motionless like a statue, what....you can't fumble since you're not doing a 'football move' ???????????

    It's about fucking time. Week-in, week-out this guy is rock solid. He's just seems like the perfect player to coach and the perfect teammate to have. He knocks the shit out of people for being such a small dude, it's crazy.:up:

    Jim Leonhard is an absolute beast, but I also think Bryan Thomas needs some props

    How many other players would not only hit a tall receiver so hard that he fumbles (yes that was a fucking fumble) and then, with his helmet off, dive head-first and recover the ball?

    I know we only met him this year, but I feel like he's been there my whole life!!

    Totally screwed on that fumble call, not to mention Rivers carrying on like a bitch, talk about unsportsmanlike. Glad to send his ass packin'.

    Who knew? I thought the SD wide receivers could jump over buildings in a single bound.

    Good point, I should not have made him #2 ahead of Harris. He's #3 I guess. However, he's been the biggest surprise, and the best VALUE on the team.

    Wish I could give Leonhard 1/2 of Gholston's paycheck.

    Hate to say it.... Faneca is overated and somewhat overpaid, though I'm happy to have him.

    O'Connell? What? Ainge? I get it - we're all drunk tonight :beer:

    No, I was just calling white players Chrebet-like. That's just what people do right?

    I see Green & White. I'd of said the same about Mickens if he could tackle.

    I thought of Chrebet because of size and size only.

    He may have had his best game of his career today. He was around the ball making plays all day. He was around every loose ball and should have had that fumble recovery on the overturned call. Anyway, his interception was one of the main reasons why we won the game since it set up our first touchdown.

    The refs got that one right. That was mos def an incomplete pass. He never possessed the ball.

    Leonard was a monster - he was everywhere.:beer:

    Faneca has been doing a great job last few games especially when pulling.

    Over rule on fumble was horrible. He had possession, two feet on the ground and was moving to tuck the ball and run when he was hit. No way there was enough to over rule. I swear on some of these I think they should investigate to see if the official making the call has money on the game.

    if this play was in the endzone, it would be a TD, why does the rule on what a catch is if you're not in the endzone?

    catch and fumble

    Good football player. Agreed that he's one of the guys who personifies the images of the team most popular amongst the fanbase.
