Solomon Grundy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I know Mario is getting a lot of well deserved "love" for his play today, but Leodis "my man" deserve a lot of love as well. McKelvin has been the best DB on the team so far this season and kudos to the F.O. for extending him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryCletus Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Love his play this year!!! Miss his explosive punt returns, but a solid, steady playing CB is more valuable!! His pass defend on the final drive was awesome!! (Maybe it was the second to last, but pretty sure it was the final drive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billshank Redemption Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 he has been nothing short of spectacular and I am really glad we extended him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdog1960 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 agree. steady at corner and getting better every game. but his judgement on punt returns is wrong more often than right and it's hurting us. likely touchbacks for fair catches resulting in possessions starting on the 7 or 8. if not for the penalty today, letting that bouncer go, on the 74 yard punt would've cost 25 yards. marrone needs to put someone else back on punts. the downside outweighs the upside.

DDD Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 When Nix resigned him I was skeptical but so far McKelvn has done a great job. He looked like a 1st round pick finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I was stoked when we resigned him. I thought we may have paid a bit too much, but was happy he resigned nonetheless. He's playing like a legit #1 CB so far. Love you Leo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 91 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 McKelvin and A Williams at safety are by far our best dbs so far. Remember before the season it was... we are solid at rcb but we are in for a long year with McKelvin on the other side. Gilmore is hurt. But McKelvin is showing why he was the top cb in his draft. I don't know who has noticed... but donny henderson has him looking to break up passes. Not sell out for the int. That has made all the difference. If Gilmore turns into a very good cb and we stay with robey and brooks inside. WE ARE SET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster Guy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Very cool guy at training camp too. Stood in the wicked heat w Levitre and Moorman outside St John Fisher a few years ago, I couldn't believe how long he hung in there signing stuff for the kids in the sun that day. It was a voluntary thing, on their way to the dorms after practice. Every other player bolted but those three. Never forget that because it made my kids day. My son still wears the hat he signed. He's a perfect example of the NFL first rounder that underachieves in the early stages of their career but never gives up and works their ass off to get better because they care about more than the money. We are a better team with that guy, and boy did we need him this year with Brooks, Gilmore and Byrd out for so long. I still think Goodwin should be fielding punts simply because of Leodis' importance to the team vs. injury risk, but whatever....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
