Leo Lewis is a monster

[The Riddler]

Leo made a few coverage mistakes but as far as tackling goes he might be the best pure tackler and instinct based linebacker state has had in a long time.

He is awesome. I see why that OM booster worked so hard to get close to him.

He's gonna be unbelievable before his career is over. Need Richie to step it up beside him. I really expected more from Gerri green in game 1... Hopefully he picks it up this week

As good as Leo looked, Richie was pure dog ****. Probably the single worst performance in a while

Agreed on all accounts & posts in this thread. The Lion of Pain made his presence known.

You always hear Richie is such a great leader (white). The whole not tackling all that well and being a liability in pass coverage outweighs his leadership.

TJ Mawhinney like?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

let's hope he isn't having weekly phone conversations with freejus.

He led the team in tackles last year.

Richie had a bad game, but let's not let that game define what has otherwise been a great career here.

Richie is like 40? Now. His hip was probably bothering him

I remember most of us on here were saying how ****** he was at the beginning last year and he was too slow and small. While he looked like a d3 scrub on Saturday, I'm not worried about Brown. We are forgetting these guys are working in an entirely new system. Granted, we still really lack talent across the defensive backfield, we know we have good talent in Brown, Lewis, and Green at LB and likely Calvin too and we know we have some talent in Thomas, Jefferson, and James. Those guys are still learning to play in a 3-4 and it's going to take them some time.
