Brian Leonard 23

Starters generally play only the third pre-season game. In the others they'll play anywhere from not at all to a little over a half depending on the game and how well the coach thinks the team is progressing. The NFL might as well cut back to 1 or 2 exhibition games and lengthen the regular season as some have advocated, because the starters and most of the roster is pre-determined before training camp begins.
 
A couple of fantasy football mags I have read have Leonard listed as Jackson's backup at running back, for whatever that's worth.
 
Btw, Leonard just signed for 4 years. Four long years 'till he gets a starting gig

standard rookie contract. unfortunately with Jackson re-signing he won't get too much of a chance to star...

btw if memory serves Brian is the highest white RB/FB picked since 1999 Rob Konrad (what a damn shame that Miami wasted his talent...) who got off the board with pick number 43 in the round 2.

who was the last white back taken in round 1? Alstott was pretty close, being taken at number 35, pick 5 of the second round back in 1996...

and a follow up question, will we ever see a white runningback in the first round of the NFL draft? i wonder...
 
Good questions backrow. As for the site, yep there are some problems, and they seem to be getting worse. I've notified Don about it.

Tommy Vardell went 9th overall to the Browns in 1992.
 
Brad Muster was drafted by the Bears in the first round in 1988, during the Mike Ditka coaching era. He was a 6-4 tailback from Stanford. Muster played fullback for the Bears but touched the ball a fair amount and was a very good runner. Here's a good article on him,which mentionshis desire to be Chicago's featured running back in '93, a request that was denied by new coach Dave Wannstedt, a total Caste System flunky who took over after Ditka was fired after the '92 season.

Someone told me Jackson's contract is up in two years. I could see Jackson moving on to another team the way a star like Edgerin James did if the Rams can't afford to keep him and are happy with Leonard. With the salary cap sometimes the unexpected happens and maybe it will work out in our favour for a change.
 
i didn't realize that Muster was a first rounder. Vardell's career could have been so much better...

and yeah, Jackson is still on his rookie 5 year deal, has 2 seasons left. if he performs as he did last year i am pretty sure that Rams will lock him up in a long term deal next year...

Jackson lead the league in Yards last year, and gets better every season. If he produces again this season, it is very doubtful the rams dont re sign him.

Please set them straight!

Thank you
 
backrow, Don't get so steamed. Consider the source. Leanard is going to change all their idiotic ideas. Don't worry about that.

Tom Iron...
 
Dont worry, we just have to put our faith that Brian will deliver on the field....Assuming he gets playing time, which IMO he will...it is all down to him, and i am sure he will not disapoint.
 
What season should we expect from Leonard?
I think he is gonna get like 300 rushing yards + another 200 receiving yards and like 4 or 5 touchdown...
 
im pulling for leonard just like everyone else! But do u guys think he will have a productive year? I have him starting for my fantasy team
 
^^^

Porbably not the best idea. I would imagine Leonard will put up slightly better numbers than Stephen Davis did last year for teh Rams, but Leonard will have a lot more receving yards.
