Yeah well all of these things, you not seeing tallent, guessing on what someone else was thinking in a front office you have no idea what their thought process was, doesn't surprise me. Leech was the rushing attack in '06. With out the iso's they were a ship without a rudder. Specualting on whether the Texans just over paid for the only all star at the end of season on the offensive side of the ball only marked you for what you are.
We put Vonta in several times throughout the year. He didn't block well, and he wasn't an option to catch the ball in those instances. He was taken out of the game in favor of Jameel Cook. Jameel Started every game he was healthy, ahead of Vonta Leech.
Just like you don't know **** about what the F.O. is thinking, and base your opinion on how you feel things are going, I'm doing the same thing. If Jameel was healthy at the end of the year, I bet we never would have seen Vonta Leach mow down the opposing defense.
FAct: GreenBay cut Vonta Leech 2 weeks after the season started. Was that because they wanted to base their running game around his exceptional blocking skills??
Vonta started for us, week 9 against the Giants. He lead the way for our amazing 57 yard rushing attack. Do you think he did not start the very next week, because he was the best fullback on the team??
Jameel was hurt in the Jets game, 5 weeks before the end of the season.... & Vonta leach all of a sudden becomes the basis of our running game.Even though he was hurt, he was still brought to games for the next two weeks, incase Vonta couldn't perform at an acceptable level in the passing game as well as the running game. Although Jameel didn't play the next two weeks, his injury became severe enough to be put on the IR list for the last two weeks of the season.
Listen, I was excited about Vonta Leach as much as the next guy. But he's only started 10 games out of the 34 games that he's played. We saw a lot of the reason why early in the season. Some of us choose to only remember the last month of the season, but a lot of bad contracts have been awarded based on the last weeks of the season, and this seems like one of them.
And you publicly comenting that Vonta was an all-star(much less the only all star on offense)
and that's a fan who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.only marked you for what you are.
