    Don't Be Surprised if Leodis busts one this game

    Some interesting numbers and trends I noticed while doing some research for my Week 11 "Don't Be Surprised If...." column.

    Only a few items. But the McKelvin note is last:

    The stars are aligning for Buffalo on Monday night. Let's hope they take advantage.

      Damn i thought this thread said dont be surprised if Leodis is a Bust, LOL

      That is not a ringing endorsement for the best CB in the country and 11th overall pick

        I'm sure you are being sarcastic but in case you aren't he was far from being the best CB in the country coming out of college. He's easily behind Cason, DRC, and Jenkins.

          Judging a draft pick by his first half season is pretty dumb.

            I'm talking about in college. He was not he best CB in the land coming out of college and would not have been drafted as high as he was if it wasn't for his abilities as a KR/PR.

              I think the reason why McKelvin is moving up in kickoff rankings is because the offense is givings more opportunities for teams to score and the defense cant stop other teams from scoring.

                He's moving up and is 10th in AVERAGE per return, not total yards.

                So, whether he's getting more or less chances is not really effected by this.

                In fact, considering he's near the top of the league in total # of returns, I'd say it's even MORE impressive that his average is so good, especially lately.

                  Oh no, i wasnt being sarcastic, not my words Mel Kiper Jr and Mike Mayock and the whole gang had him touted as the best CB in the country, not me

                  I hated the pick and still do, and completely agree with you that the other CBs have far surpassed Leodis all that were drafted after him are doing one thing that ledois is to dumb or just not plain good enough to do and that is play on defense!!!!!

                  Corner a 4th rd pick and coming from a smaller school is playing over him that is truly sad

                    He can run back a KO for a TD in OT, imo.

                    BTW, the people calling him a bust already are defying all logic and are being unreasonable.

                      This would be the game to do it. Honestly, all playoff talk aside, this is a game they have to win just because it's a MNF game and it's at home. It will get all the coverage, all the attention, all the hype, and the last thing they can do is play like they have the past three games.

                        I would love to see him do that!

                          I was calling him a bust the day we drafted him, just football instincts on my part, to many negative attributes to be taken at 11
                          1. coming from subpar competition
                          2. Stone Hands
                          3. cant digest defensive schemes
                          4. Cant get the playbook
                          5. 5ft 10 and only 180lbs, will be hard for him to compete with larger WRs ala San Deigo

                          But he can return kicks i guess

                            Who exactly is calling him a bust? Saying that he was not the best CB in the draft is far from calling him a bust.
