Some Baldy Love for the Maniac!

"Nobody does more in this business right now".

 

High praise, but well deserved.  I can't wait to see how he links up at the line with DeForest Buckner making spaces for him to hit!

I don't really understand the comment about the MIKE LB. Leonard is a WILL. 

Did he mean to say WILL, or is he dissing Walking? Walker had the highest % of Ts per snap for LBs with over 500 snaps last year at 12% (Leonard was 10%). Anything over 10% is incredible for a LB, and both Leonard and Walker have been at least 10% the last two years.

No baldy knows his position but he's just comparing leonard to MLB's because he plays like one and does more work than most mike linebackers....anyone who doesn't know leonard would think he's a mike linebacker

Notice he called that a fumble by Watson just like everyone but the refs thought in that game. Including watson.

In all fairness, we're in nickel most of the time, so both WILL and MIKE are lining up similar. The WILL might line up a tad wider, but he's crashing inside as much as the MIKE if not more. His gap responsibility might even be Center/Guard while the MIKE's is Guard/Tackle.
