when richardson was coming out I was adamant he was going to bust.. I could tell he had 0 lateral ability, and was just playing behind an NFL line in college

sadly, I was wrong on Leonard.. I thought I saw on tape enough lateral agility and cut back ability that he was different.. he was massive, with crazy speed, and I thought he had enough of the other stuff

having said that, I maintain our style on offense from top to bottom is TRASH and hard to evaluate anyone (except bortles who is easy to evaluate)

I would like to see Leonard in a zone block scheme where he can make 1 cut and go, and then we would really find out if he is a bust, but right now, it certainly looks bad

I disagree, I think Leonard needs a GAP scheme. One of the weaknesses he had coming out of college was he had a tendency to tunnel and play through a straw. If that's the case, just have a FB lead block, Pull a Guard, and throw blocks at a gap to manufacture space for him to get up to speed. People complain about his "vision", a zone scheme is all vision and making a cut/decision. I don't want LF27 thinking and hesitating, I want him running downhill with a full head of steam and punishing a would be tackler in the hole. It's hard to run a gap scheme with backup olinemen and thats why we saw far more zone towards the end of the season to meh results (also explains David Williams "running better" as he played in a zone running scheme in college and in Denver through training camp).

Most of Leonard's big plays last year like the 90 yard run against the Steelers, the long run against LA etc. we're GAP scheme playcalls. Just call the types of plays that cater to the strengths of the players on offense. Our coaching staff is too inept to do that. #feelsbadman
