Geno Smith's Arm Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I can't believe that there isn't some kind of drill that can help him get better at finding the ball. That should be all he does at practice, because he is useless, and a liability until he can figure out how to find the ball. He is excellent at coverage.

bbb Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 It seems like he's got the hard part down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 leodis has a gift - the gift of being able to stay with just about any receiver and then barely miss the ball when he waves his hands at it i wonder if we could just equip him with a couple of those huge foam fingers? as close as he comes to the ball without touching it, it would only take a couple more inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Leodis is fine--the coaches need to go. Anyone putting leodis in coverage needs firing. Any decent coach puts him on returns(exc when the game depends on a non-fumble at the end) or maybe even on offense somewhere. But he has the defensive ball skills of the last kid picked in gym class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyHorseAteTheKid Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Another example of poor drafting... Each year we get excited about our first rounders, yet they always have a reason for not performing... Then 3 to 4 seasons later they are released, picked up by another team and then released again... Leodis may have great athletic ability, but he has made me a disbeliever in his football skills!!

inkman Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 At 27, he's a grown ass man that's not getting any better. Should have been cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 When leodis got burned for the TD, it appeared to me he let up once he thought he thought he had the WR defended in the end zone, then he only took a half hearted swipe at the ball, On a third down play on the next possession he watched the WR run a small curl to the inside right freaking in front of him and the waited till the pass was thrown and caught before he made a move to get to and tackle the WR. I mean he just watched and waited for the pass to be completed. WTF was that about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yes he can. I blame wanny it's not like Gilmore or a Williams made any plays either Mck best corner on team......int vs KC and everyones back on board Let's go D, rally for marcell, kill the chiefs again, homecookin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by no means is he the best CB on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Crazy, but he only has 5 career picks. I had such high hopes for him when we drafted him too, but what a bust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 IDK, teaching kids to turn around when they are tight on someone. Seems like a coaching thing but after 4 years (or is it 5?) you would think he would master it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 He should have been cut after the KO fumble against NE. He's literally done nothing good since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup that's what I said.....wannys entire defense looked terrible The blame game is going his way sir Only had an offseason and preseason to practice this stuff. As they say on the Internet EPIC FAIL. Didn't know there was a wannstedt fan in the building.....we gotta get u a wanny sig or avatar man..

Boludo Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 He is what he is at this point in his career. He was a bad draft pick and has value as a reserve DB and returner. He could probably make one of the final roster spots on most NFL teams but couldn't really start anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerme1 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Since he's in his contract year and could be the last time he can prove his worth- how about this crazy idea: Should Chan put him in on offense in a Randall Cobb/Sidney Rice role? By that, I mean getting him the ball on swing passes, reverses, pitches and such and letting him go to work. The guy is electric on returns when he gets some space. I know we've got Dickerson basically filling that H-back wildcard (not wildcat) role, but I think McKelvin would be more dangerous and since there is no tape on him, Chan could showcase some of that creativity he is known for. Just a thought- what do you guys think? You think our offense needs to get more complicated than it is? And a guy like Leodis is going to run with it? And showcase him no less ha ha. I wont tell you what I think. Hopefully you'll figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plays are already there, just sub McKelvin for Dickerson. And yeah, I want to see if he can do it because if he's good at it, it may be the reason we re-sign him, or get some value in a trade.
