Darius Leonard Analysis

[YDFL Commish]

Plays 1 & 2 are impressive because it was all athleticism and pure effort. I say this because he didn't really read the plays, but reacted quickly and decisively.

Play 3 he actually didn't have gap discipline, yet still found a way to hustle to the ball and get the ball carrier down for a short gain.

Play 4, I remember seeing during the live telecast, and asking myself...did he just do that?

It is just plain scary how good Leonard will be with film study, experience and reading his keys.

None of the WILL LB's of the Dungy era, even came close to this kids ability and performance.

My analysis:

He's really fucking good. In this D, Derrick Brooks. Yes, I went there.

Cato June? Yeah I remember him playing on the defense that gave up 375 yds rushing to the Jags.

June was an ok player who was better in coverage, than against the run. He was undersized for the position, admittedly playing at 209 lbs.

And the Colts won the super bowl that year. So losing to the Jags and all that yardage means.......................... nothing

So you think because we won the Superbowl that year no player on that team had any flaws. Cool, now I know I can discount any opinion you ever post since that one is so stupid it is beyond belief.

What I love is his talent for getting a fist on the ball and knocking it out. Some guys just have a natural ability to do that. People don’t appreciate how hard that is especially when they watch a play in slow motion 500 times. But he just gets it, while NOT sacrificing his ability to make the tackle.
