Mechanix 0 Posted August 14, 2007 Hey, I have the second overall draft pick. I was looking at Steven Jackson, but I've been hearing some good things about their rookie fullback/tailback Brian Leonard. I'm not saying that Jackson is going to share a lot of carries with Leonard, but are there any talks about Leonard getting goal line carries or anything like that?

pimptastic69 0 Posted August 14, 2007 I think you're paranoid. That's like worrying about Lorenzo Neal stealing TD's from LT2. Crazy talk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
What is the deal? 1 Posted August 14, 2007 I'm glad I don't have to pick at 2. Jackson is going to be 'spelled' by Leonard- who knows how much...but it will be good to keep his knees healthy (especially playing on that turf and handling such a large workload). He'll still be a beast and is #2 on my list by default, but he'll also lose out on some catches this year IMO. Acquisitions of McMichael (Linehand loved him in Miami) and Bennett could also have an effect. Jackson will have to make up for that in TD's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Da Bomb 0 Posted August 14, 2007 ask ray rice if you should be concerned. for every 5 yards brian leonard "steals", his blocking will open up an extra 25 for sjax. hes an absolute stud of a blocker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildman 0 Posted August 14, 2007 Leonard is a good pick late in drafts (I've picked him in just about every one of them last week) because as you have seen in preaseason, the guy can be a productive player with the ball in his hands. He won't steal too much thunder from Jackson, but if the Rams starter gets hurt, Leonard has the talent to be the most productive rookie RB in 2007. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 1,100 Posted August 14, 2007 If you draft Jackson you should also draft leonard just because he is his handcuff and would be the starter on a productive offense. You should NOT worry that he is going to be stealing any touches from him however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the deal? 1 Posted August 15, 2007 the misinformation in this thread is hilarious. Leonard is not playing any fullback for the Rams outside of gimmick plays where he'll be used as a receiver. Linehan has already stated they are going to use him as a change of pace back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
