Coach Tuesday Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Brings some needed experience to the backfield. He also played in Pettine's defense. Might allow them to move A. Williams to corner while Gilmore is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams to corner while Gilmore is out. +1 I'm totally fine with this move, if its true. An experienced, well-liked secondary player who already knows the system and can also chip in on special teams? Sign him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams to corner while Gilmore is out. Coach, wasn't A Williams a disaster at corner? Honestly I don't even really see him as a good safety, but he definitely played better there. I just can't say I'd be happy with bringing in Leonard. He played two or three seasons with the jets, one with the broncos, and now on his Wikipedia page it has him with the Saints. But he's not on their roster on NFL.com... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smuvtalker Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The Saints cut Leonhard. Oh ok. I may be in the minority, but I just wouldn't be thrilled with bringing in Leonard. I guess you could say when he was here in Buffalo he was in his prime, and even then I would've considered him a marginal, modest player at best. Matter of fact, I heard more about him and his play when he was with the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, knows the system, beloved player, has always been solid, short but solid. I suggested his name in another tread...would like the move a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I like this move--but I think this means that one of our underwhelming safeties gets cut potentially. Maybe Searcy or one of the rookies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I like this move--but I think this means that one of our underwhelming safeties gets cut potentially.

His best season was for Ravens actually and he followed his coach to Jets. Ya wasn't that the season we let him go B/C he wasn't good enough to make our roster ??

Max Fischer Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'd take him in a heartbeat. Hardnose, smart player. No doubt lost a step but could make up for it in a system he knows well. On Ravens and Jets he always seemed to be around the ball. I don't know the circumstances of his roster cut but it might be that lost out younger, cheaper players.

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 No need to cut anyone. Roster at 51. 2 spots open. Six safeties? May not be any reason to keep Searcy around if they add Leonard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
