I hope he makes the pro bowl. He's made some questionable returns when the ball is kicked to literally the back of the end zone, but he usually gets it to the 20 even when that happens. Ginn hasn't even been returning kicks for the 49ers due to fumbles and was hurt to begin the year. He better not get in over Leon. Same with Hester.

Yeah Leon!

Hope he can break the record this year! That'd be pretty cool.

I've never agreed with those "Cut Leon" posts. Have always loved the dude. One of our first examples of John Schneider's sweet acquisition abilities.

The only thing I've wondered with him is why his productivity as a running back hasn't shown up very much comparatively. Rex Ryan sure liked him a whole bunch, so maybe it's more that he doesn't work out as we in our schemes? Hmmm.

Power running (Lynch) hides weaknesses in our run blocking by the O-line. Leon needs good holes that he can quickly hit. He'd be very dangerous playing for the 49ers.

Believe me, I wanted to explosively vomit while typing it.

I suspected it was something along those lines, so O-Line is still one of the biggest things to fix over the off-season, or probably several off-seasons. Too many pieces for one draft/free agency period. Although PC&JS have been able to pull off minor miracles at times, it'd be foolish to expect it (but rather be excited and grateful when it DOES).

Good conversation.
