I always thought Kavell Conner was underrated, but yes, I'd like Leonard to be a much better and more productive player. Congrats to him on AFC DPOW honors.

Conner should've started more.

Great to see Leonard win that award. He deserved it.

Brian Baldinger analysis of Darius Leonard against the Eagles:

For most of the game he was a force. The only negative I noticed about him in the game was that early on they ate him alive on TE post routes, it was how they scored the opening drive TD. He definitely made up for it, though.

I was talking to a buddy of mine today who watched the game yesterday and he asked me : "Who is that linebacker that you guys have?" I said "Leonard", and he said "Yeah, Holy crap! That guy is awesome!"

It’s been so long since we had a great linebacker. They really can add so much. We just neither hit on draft picks or used low picks to fill the position. Mostly we ignored the position for years. I’m so happy now to watch one play for our team. Just puts a smile on my face all day.

So far this draft class is coming along nicely

It's shaping up to be 2004 caliber.

We have yet to see Tyquan Lewis and Deon Cain.

A real shame Cain is done for the year. Have high hopes for him in the future.
