    Thomas Jones currently has a higher YPC average than LaDainian Tomlinson. Stretching, I know.

    On a related note, 0 carries for Leon today? Why?

    Because Jones is our starting back and if the defense was swallowing him you figure they'd do the same to Leon. I do have to say this, the screen pass definately needs to come into play more often. Baltimore was killing us with that. With Jones' uphill ability and Leons speed thats the best way to neutralize the blitz.

    Nope. Completely underused today. If I recall, he had one ball thrown his way, and it was 5 yards out. Incomplete pass.

    Leon is supposed to be our play maker. Our X factor so to speak. Leon would have done something special today, but i guess we'll never know. Maybe he catches what Jmac should have caught????? Ah well woulda, shoulda, coulda
