Leonard Goes Airborn against the Ville

[PocketIguodala]

I can't believe this is already 5 years old =( I'm happy he's on the Bengals though =D

[RelVleDy]

@SBTGOG89 I know your message is 3 years old, but I bet you're juiced up seeing Peyton Hillis on the Madden cover :). Of course the fans had to vote him in though.

[Silenced140]

Genetically, Black people have more fast twitch muscles which allow for insane speed and jumps like we see in running backs. However, your genetics only start you off. All kinds of white guys could do that if they stopped listening to stereotypical crap and engineered themselves to be able to perform these feats.

[randomperson331]

@Silenced140 ppl dont share genetics

[Kontact21]

0:13 [insert Super Mario Bros. jump sound here]

[fpnyy13bball]

I Love brian Leonard!!

[bevans52]

@SBTGOG89 that is not how it is at all

[Bekalu23]

that's why the bengals rb depth is soo versatile, they use him in 4th down situations all the time!

[bighappy40]

beast

[boonitae]

@ferretsareawesome121 same here dude and did you see colts Overall better then Saints lol and Saints won the Superbowl LOL

[adam58594]

what the fuck are hoops

[CutBakKid]

OMG i cringe when i see runnign backs jump. One day they will get tore up from doing that. Ive seen that many times during HS fb season

[ferretsareawesome121]

i know it might sound nerdy but in madden 10 he only has a 65 overall! id give him a 83

[JSKnife]

How about that first down he picked up against the Steelers? This guy is a player!

[goldenshots]

lol he just did the same thing today in the nfl with the bengals

[wvurocks7]

yes i hve owen schmitt is better

[owntheowner]

you are out of your mind. Owen Schmitt is not half the player that Leonard is

[funkster3019]

ok u idiots, blacks aren't faster thann whites and whites aren't faster than blacks, only difference is black people have a history of competing and become idols for younger blacks, also blacks have a differnt muscle system, i think it was like they have faster muscle fibers, which is the reason why they arent good as whites in swimming.

[randomperson331]

you mean black peeople have denser muscle, and black ppl are plenty good at swimming dude, thats just another lame stereotype

[funkster3019]

its not a stereotype man? watch the olympics or any world swimming championship or whatever... you will probably never see a black swimmer, just like you barely see any white corners or running backs

[randomperson331]

you=ignorant, there was a black swimmer on one of the usa relay teams that won gold

[funkster3019]

im ignorant? what about the ppl making fun of white guys cuz they cant jump?

[randomperson331]

that is ignorant, and its an incorrect stereotype, but that doesnt make it okay to stereotype in return

[williamc999]

yeah but the different muscle make up generally makes them faster

[Crossedferret88]

how did i know if i searched a video about leonard i was gonna find arguments about black vs white runningbacks?

[chris371]

Well when in a nation of 250 million people there isnt a single white man deemed good enough to be a starting running back, theres bound to be some controversy.

[jwall707]

I would like to have him and sam mcguffie in the backfield. that would be badass. In 2-3 years, the bengals should draft mcguffie and have the 2 leapers in the backfield. He should get some carries with the bengals. Do some split carries with him and Benson. After benson gets drunk on his boat again and gets kicked off the team maybe Leonard could take more reps.

[knownaspuddin]

Leonard came to his old high school back in gouverneur ny for a press conference a few years ago and it was awesome!

[ALP1987]

Lets hope he gets some touches now with the Bengals.

[kunkymonkey]

bout the only good thing RU did in that game i think the score was like 56-10

[williamc999]

truth is, black people are faster and more athletic than white people thats why there are a lot more black running backs

[JewelsShield23]

Are you fricking serious???? No race is superior to another. People are just morons and think that way. There are just as many talented white running backs as their are blacks. But the white players are discriminated agaisnt and dont get a fair shot.

[williamc999]

erm yes, it is biologically true that black people can run faster than white people, their muscle make up is different

[JewelsShield23]

suuuuuure. and ill bet youve seen big foot to.

[williamc999]

are you serious?! what were the 10 fastest times at the combine this year? i bet you they were all black. The fastest black man runs 100m in 9.7 seconds, there is yet to be a white man to run under 10 seconds, black people are faster. Face it

[JewelsShield23]

What you said about the combine is most likely true. But thats just because many of the best white players werent invited to the combine. They only get drafted by the smaller schools (cause there not black so they dont get a fair shot) and since there at smaller schools they dont get an invite. And as for the 100m i guarantee you that there are white people who can run it in under 10 seconds.

[williamc999]

i admit that there may be some black/white bias, but that is probably because coaches are inclined to think that black people are always faster and therefore better, this may not be true, but on average they are definitely faster. And if there are white people can run faster than 10s over 100, then where are they??

[JewelsShield23]

Look man, i dont want to fight okay. Im just trying to raise the point that white atheletes are discriminated agaisnt. Im a believer that all races are equal and therefor everyone deserves the same opportunities. You can believe what you want and i can believe what i want.

[williamc999]

im not trying to start a fight either im just saying the reason that white athletes are discriminated against is because they are generally slower and less athletic than black athletes. This doesnt mean that they are worse football players, take Peyton Manning and Tom Brady for example, but it does mean for positions such as running back or wide reciever, black people are favoured because they are usually faster.

[jwall707]

It is not biologically true that black people have a different muscle make up or is faster than other races, if you have ever taken a biology class before. It has nothing to do with race. Can you explain how sam mcguffie got a 4.3 time on his 40, Danny woodhead ran on his pro day, because he wasn't invited to the combine, a 4.3. Kevin Curtis ran a unofficial 4.21 and a 4.35 at the combine. And their are a lot of different races running track.

[williamc999]

YES IT IS, sure there is the odd exception to the rule, but black people have a different muscle make up, look at the olympic 100m final for god's sakes

[jwall707]

1st off, are you a biology major or have a major in this subject? my guess is no. 2nd, give me the proof, I have taken biology classes and not one of them has said that black people have a different muscle make-up. Your making up shit out your ass. Untill you get some real proof, stop commenting on my comments.

[williamc999]

i dont, but my parents are both doctors. How can you even deny the fact that black people are faster than white people, have you ever watched the olympics?

[jwall707]

All your proof is the olympics? I have seen the olympics and their are plenty of white people running track and swimming. It takes speed and athleticism to swim also. You have no proof, why don't you ask your father and mother if black people have a different muscle make-up than other races.

[williamc999]

are you an idiot? black people can run faster but also cannot swim, hence there are no white people in the 100m final and no black people in the 100m freestyle final. You want proof? Fatstes black man 9.6 seconds, a white man cant break 10 seconds. And yes i have asked my parents and they were the ones that told me this

[jwall707]

the 100m isn't the only measurment of speed idiot. And at high schools and colleges their are plenty of white/other races who run the 100m. My Uncle holds the record for his school for the 100 and the high jump. You just need to shut up you Uro fag. And Just to let you know, at my high school and my college their were/are black people on the swim team dumbass. The color of your skin does not dictate how fast you are. Everyone has the same muscles.

[williamc999]

ok then did you see the 200m final, or even the 400m final, sure there might have been 1 or 2 white people in it but almost everyone is black. Might there be a reason for that? Its not just swimming and running that are different, there are differences in the way black people respond to drugs, etc. They are different, face it

[BarFAN21]

i love you wanna fuck

[JFeucht32]

just found out thats my third cousin and i feel like bragging about it.

[CaNtToUcH94]

Race is never the factor, trust me, in cali theres an ass load of white RB's and some of theme are the best in the nation... but this dude is built wierd! buyt hes sick haha

[T2242]

In 2007, just 13 of the top 100 rushers in the Football Bowl Subdivision were white. The SEC and Pac-10 each have just one white starting tailback in their respective leagues, Vanderbilt's Jared Hawkins and Stanford's Toby Gerhart. And McGuffie is the Big Ten's lone starting white tailback.

In the NFL, white tailbacks are even scarcer. Not one white player starts at tailback on any of the NFL's 32 teams. The last time a white tailback was taken in the first round of the NFL draft was 1974

[deliciousNmoist]

tyler gaffney?

[abchang88]

That's the high school level though. However, I race probably isn't the main factor, but socioeconomic status. Most of the white RB's have other options to fall back on besides football.

[rutgerslover513]

i remember the first time he did this i was flippin out. but leonard did that so many times that it was barely even noticeable when he did it

[footballkid47]

well i really dont think it matters about the skin color... i mean my moms Jamacian and my dads Swedish... and i play RB as well as safety... but its stupid if you say people dont like white RB's it doesnt matter what the color of your skin is it only matters if u can play ball :D

[blizzardhockey4]

The one, The only, The legend, Brian Leonard

[TasteyCookies]

that is true

no white rbs starting in the nfl

[TheRiceman80]

If I were a coach, which I intend to try at the high school level, eventually, assuming my eventual alma mater would hire me (I'm still IN high school, but I want to coach after graduating, like my present line coach), considering how few black students in my school are interested in football, we ALWAYS have white Halfbacks. The way I see it is like this: In the 30-40s, if not for longer, people were fine and dandy with white HBS. In the 80s, nobody complained about Warren Moon being black...

[TheRiceman80]

My point is that if I were to coach, I'd prefer to judge a player by skill, not color. That really won't be an issue, probably, considering the rebirth of the white RB as of late, debatably.

[Jackflash84]

Sports fans, you've gotta check out the "Brandon Wegher" (ESPN 150 Watch List) and "Mike Trumpy" vids on Youtube. These 2 are "very shifty" Sam McGuffie/ Noel Devine like RBs that cut through defenses like a knife through butter. Not quite as shifty as Barry Sanders, but still "extremely" impressive. Leave a comment on the vid! White guys can certainly play RB w/o beefing up and running as a FB w/o a lead blocker like Alstott did. Just check the McGuffie vid if you don't believe whites can play.

[Jackflash84]

And McGuffie ran for his 3200 yds., 44 TDs and 8.7 YPC against tough Texas 5A (largest classification) football. Yet black Cameron Saddler who is 5'7 165 lbs. and only ran for 5.3 YPC against weak W. Pennsylvania competitive football and has a paltry 28 inch vertical is ahead of McGuffie in the Rivals rankings. Saddler runs a 4.44 40 yd. dash. Compare that to Sam's 4.32 40, 3.83 (top shuttle time this yr.)& 41 inch vert. Sam rushed for 8.3 YPC this yr. w/ a bum ankle Saddler rushed for 7.2 YPC.

[Jackflash84]

Excellent white RBs exist. Search Sam McGuffie, Brandon Wegher, Mike Trumpy and Hunter Furr. It's yet to see if these guys will see the field in Div. IA. McGuffie, despite having the #1 SPARQ athletic rating for a RB in the U.S, having the 2nd best stats for a 4 or 5 star Rivals RB & having the best highlight vid in the nation isn't in the Rivals 250. Ridiculous! He was formerly ranked #1 Best in Space & # 2 Home-run threat. Then he magically lost that rating. It's all wacko Yahoo's politics.

[Jackflash84]

I have 20 newspaper articles I dug up doin research about specific cases of recruiting biases against white (1 case an Asian) RB or WR. J. Taylor a white RB outrushed J. Brown one yr. back when white RBs were allowed to play. Now colleges feel a guilt complex b/c of the economic gap between black & white and want most of their football schoolarships to go to blacks. Coaches are conservative & do the status quo. They don't want to look silly to fans for bringing in a white RB. It's Stereotyping!

[Jackflash84]

busterMC, I agree. Biologically there is really no such thing as race. We have all shared a common ancestor in the last 80,000 yrs. It is the same thing that used to happen to the black QB just b/c of the color of their skin. Now colleges are afraid to look silly by recruiting talented white RBs. Tom Lemming, Tony Dungy and Don Bebee were quoted as admitting this in a famous investigative article where a recruiter said "we can't bring a white RB to our college it's just the way it is."

[busterMC85]

It's a damn shame that there are so many white athletes out there with above average athleicism and discipline, yet (for the most part) they are consistently ignored because the media and recruiters don't want to be labled as "racists". ESPECIALLY those playing in key football positions. It's OK to have an all black football team, but as soon as you SEEM to focus a lot of your attention on white recruits and players, that's "oppression"!

[busterMC85]

**athleticism**

[22devin26]

you my friend are a fucking idiot

[busterMC85]

Well, I'm glad to see that we are at least friends, according to you. Now that we have established that, please elaborate on your reply to my comment.....Have I offended you that bad?

[Jackflash84]

I have heard various 40 times for Leonard. I heard he ran a 4.49 at the Combine as well as 4.51 and 4.52, had a great 3-Cone time & a 34.5 inch vert was pretty stellar as well. It's ashame Leonard went to the Rams instead of a team like the Titans, Jets or Eagles who needed him more. He started 3 games last yr. for the Rams w/ 4 o-lineman out, Bulger,

I. Bruce and even Holt for a game. He still managed a 100 yard game on 5.3 YPC and 3.9 YPC in that span overall. Not bad for a rookie! Go B-Leap!

[mattyspence24]

football 101 thts not your son

do u even know where hes from

[thedrewdotcom]

again this is just embarassing, haha.

[TheOfficialK2]

that white dude can jump!

[f00tball101]

thats my son.

[QBraidersfan767]

he is like one of the few white running backs left in the NFL

[JeffThunder]

holy fuck he planted his manballs on that pussy's face!

[Knightjc]

LOLLL

[nikepro103]

and they say white boy cant jump

[hitman6006]

god dam look at that jump lol

[Trinityman08]

what a beast.

[nodarker12345678]

best nfl leaper in the world

[timi6]

im so suprised i never heard of him till today that was some throwback walter payton stuff. he is raw

[xc1427]

Underrated...you can say that again!!! Today we get an outstanding 102-yard performance and...the LEAP!!!

By the way for the naysayers, you need to inject a surfboard the size of Alaska into your rectums.

[TheFeedback]

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

[rkwittem]

Leonard was the most underrated player in the NFL draft this year. He's certainly going to be better than Brandon Jackson.

[Jerzeslugga]

LOL@ louisville

[ru08]

Go RU!!!!!

check out the video on my page, it's footage taken in New Brunswick after the RU football win over Navy.

[chris371]

They said this " whiteboy" would get killed if he tried to jump over people in the NFL, well guess what- hes doing it in the NFL nowadays!

[magicalnegro17]

he lept over a dude in a nfl preseason game this year

[magicalnegro17]

he lept over a dude in a nfl preseason game this year

[Donovan502]

I was @ that game i'm from louisville and thats when rutgers wasnt a football known school. I was sitting there then saw some dude jump over a player and i was lik o shit then i saw the replay and i was lik eee he's white then the nex yr they got us and beat us by a cheap ass second try field goal isall good tho we got em this yr in our house

[Shabutie97]

donovan your post looks like a trainwreck.

[marrost]

yea get rutgers this year, you guys can't even fucking beat syracuse hahaha

[Donovan502]

haha yea louisville sux this yr all cuz of our weak defense

[Angrygumballl]

done it

[b45rad]

u right he was really a running back until 06 he's athletic but i think jacob hester is better but im just a biased lsu fan

[wh0izryanG]

Hes a RB/TB/HB not a FB.There in single back formation,no fullback in there.

[dawg0126]

no he is a fullback he played fb most of the 2006 season and now will be playin partial fb for the rams as well as backup rb. im from central nj, i have followed him a long time

[dawg0126]

u r rit though he is primarily a rb, but he is also a fb, srry if i came across too strong

[b45rad]

noone ever makes a "perfect form" tackle i swears its impossible but anyways its cool to see him do this but honestly if rugters would have gone 3-9 last year would anyone care

[rurugby]

Always fun to watch the leonard leap .. just did a great one vs. Oaklan ...

[tjjurkiewicz]

Hey go2class, he just did it in the preseason game tonight and OMG he's still playing!

[go2class]

if lenard ever tries to do that in the nfl he's gonna get a career ending injury you never leave your feet and in the nfl he'll get popped doing stuff like that

[chiefmastercomander]

nah he wont,. hes the shit,. and i gurentee he wont get hit that often doing that,, as long as he doesnt over use it...

[doctorapplejack]

haha, too bad he did do it in the nfl already. nice try though.

[bryan854]

ray rice led rutgers in rushing but leonard is awesome he reminds me of a young mike alstott and will be fun to watch over the years oh and to chris 371 stop being such a fag please

[dhoop29]

soo letts see my dad went ta rutgers i have watched them even when they went 1-10 how many of you guys jumped on the bandwagon

[andreyomama]

this proves white men CAN jump

[celonghorn]

whitewashed100 did you even watch the video? Russell had very good form. He did not leave his feet until Leonard was past him, and even then it was only because he was exploding into the tackle. If Leonard hadn't jumped over him that would have been an awesome tackle.

[whitewashed100]

did you read my comment? i said in the nfl. and if you watched the raiders game friday night, you'll see that fabian washington had his head down which made it possible for him to hurdle. once you put your head down, your body follows

[ThatCincyBoy]

nice

[RynDrythorn]

Leonard became a fullback so that both he and Rice could be on the field at the same time. He opened holes, got carries, lead the team in receptions, and selflessly did anything needed to get the W. Rice is a phenomenal RB, but Leonard is far more versatile. He'll be missed, as much for his on-field talent as his off-field leadership.

[slimcharles202]

Rams got a steal with this dude,him and Steven Jackson thats gonna be crazy.

[jir0717]

It doesn't matter what raze he is he iz ztill a zavege

[HerbGiant2]

I go back on my last comment i didn't see how he played, hes pretty good for a white running back

[Nickthemonkey08]

Brian Leonard deserved some big award for this year. He really lead this Rutgers team who will have a lot of success next year as well.

[HerbGiant2]

Rice led the Rutgers butt fuck, not some white kid who jumps high

[Ramsrule28]

this guys amazing

Go Rams all the way in 2007

[whitewashed100]

yea thats right. stl baby

[w1s4life]

stop all the crying and whining about "reverse discrimination"...you people are just looking for a hand out because he is white... the best player gets the starting position...period

[HerbGiant2]

and thats why we have mostly black running backs, half backs at least, white people can be our fullbacks, all they do is stand in the way long enough for us to get by, thats why we have so many white OL, but pretty soon blacks will have completely taken over the NFL

[chris371]

Thats why our prisons are full of blacks, cos all black guys can do is sell crack and run fast. Pretty soon blacks will have completely take over prisons

[HerbGiant2]

oooooooooooooo nice one, you told me, what the fuck ever you fuckin lame

[Sizz06]

He is right. 4,000 of every 100,000 black people in american have been or are in prison, 1,000 of every 100,000 hispanics has been or is in prison, and 400 of every 100,000 white people has been or is in prison. So go ahead and say white people are good for nothing as RBs, just know you're not only taking over teh NFL. You're taking over the prisons too :)

[Jackflash84]

4.5 is never fast enough for whites like Tre Smith or Leonard but that is faster than average for NFL starters. Some elites like Larry Johnson, Emmit Smith, Shaun Alexander etc. are 4.6 guys. Heck form this year Tony Hunt is almost 4.7, is he being asked to block. Also running backs rarely run 40 yards. I think Eddie George had like one run over that in his career! Leonard please don't get screwed like Brock Forsey, Luke Staley, Tim Shaw, Tre Smith, Dan Burks and many others have!

[TexasMade20]

How the hell did this turn into a racism rant?

Anyway, Brian Leonard was a beast. I hope he's not a bust in the NFL. And that hurdle's gonna take some time to master in the those NFL DB's and 'Backers. Hope he does well and proves me wrong, though.

[whitewashed100]

that hurdle will never work in the nfl. i love this guy but hes gonna try it one day and get smashed

[helorm341]

why not? if the guys already in the air trying to tackle him he can't change directions mid air

[whitewashed100]

well im referring to if a player isnt trying to be mr hotshot and just make a normal tackle. if youre trying to tackle somone you shouldnt leave your feet cuz that jus makes it easier to get trucked, juked, and hurdled. so if they used proper technique it wouldnt work

[MikeLaScala22]

did u just see him jump over fabian washington...and u said it wouldnt work in the nfl

[whitewashed100]

i didnt see it. i jus saw parts of the game. i was out with my friends friday night. and i guess i was wrong

[whitewashed100]

i jus saw the video and.. well sadly fabian washington isnt exactly the model tackler. his head was down

[radiorah3000]

How ironic that the table's have even turned enough to hear white people crying about this type of stuff...I think Brian L is qualified to be a NFL starter one day...and I hope he does. I'll vote for him to make the probowl as a HB if you vote for Baraka:)...deal

[Allenr10391]

shut the fuck up ya bitch u u make a nigga wanna smack da piss out u

[Sizz06]

You're so hardcore.. faggot.

[TheTankjfsdjkf]

Congrats St. Louis. A great football and a great person.

[vyzerr]

that caste football shit is right. im white and i was one of the best bball players at my HS, then 2 black dudes transferred in (real cool guys, we were good friends). immediately my scared lily white coach took me from starting and put the black dude in, even though i beat him in 1 on 1 all the time and played better in practice. its just reverse discrimination and these white idiots are so full of guilt that they can't see past skin color

[ShawDAMAN]

That jump move is awesome for a guy his size and weight- I mean he's no reggie bush, size-wise, but he can get almost as much air. Good for the rams

[bobbyball2]

St Louis Rams Brian Leonard...now this IS gonna be f****n' interesting!!!

[whtwouldrambodo]

u guys r retarted i went to that caste football and its gay its just talks about how roy williams ran like a 4. 83 at the combine reciver isnt all speed u need hands too. also there plenty of white players in the nfl of course theres tons of black ones to but dont get me wrong i really want him to be a HB in the nfl cause it would be the first white one in awhile but QB is domnated by whites the line is mixed and reciver and HB r black.

[Rexx20]

ok this is how it is he dropped weight so they would draft him as a Running back not a fullback....and football is for anyone quit all this racist shit

[rokokokoko]

shut up you stupid bitch, you are just a big white fat man who love suck nigga cock. go to google and go to the site castefootball!

[schecterbassman]

You guys are fuckin morons. There are plenty of white players in the NFL, many of whom have done really well throughout their careers. Yes, there probably are more black players by the numbers. But who the hell cares? You both are fucking morons. Drop the racist bullshit and just enjoy the damn game.

[Extreme7200]

hes the next mike alstott

[lyndontree]

For entertainment value alone Leonard is worth 100 negroes and the fans don't have to suffer through all of that bullshit gangsta act.

[Giants2082]

nah, if he was a RB in the nfl it'd be a waste of his tremendous blocking ability. However, if he went to the Eagles it'd be a damn shame... the Giants however could use an explosive guy like him to fill the void that Tiki left.

[daly45lb]

he's too fast athletic and elusive to be considered as a fullback and not a running back in the NFL, i predict he'll be like alstott, sometimes a fullback someteims a running back

[chris371]

Cant wait for him to go to the NFL, to watch him block for the next 10 years....Course if he wasnt cursed with white skin hed be a RB in the NFL. But white guys are only allowed be blocking backs in the NFL.

[polinikz]

Amen. Google "Caste Football" for more information.

[RupDoosh]

i'm a third for him to go to the eagles. they've needed a strong back to compliment westbrook for a while now.

[rurugby]

I agree I would love to see him in the backfield with Brian Westbrook and the Eagles ...

[ditzler16]

lets hope he stays close to home and goes to Philly to reubite with LJ SMITH

[rokokokoko]

Best hope for him! He will be a RB in NFL

[backrow12]

wow... too bad he didn't get many carries this season, he's a huge talent

[JoeRyan33]

He'll carry a RB load in the NFL - he's not a FB. Easily one of the top three backs entering the draft class this year.

[polinikz]

Unfortunately, no he won't. And the reason for this is the fact that the NFL is racist against White skill position players. Look what happened to Brock Forsey in 2004, Brad Hoover in 2005, and Travis Jervey during his entire career. The NFL doesn't care how talented they are. If they're not black, they dont want them playing. Fucking racist, anti-White, NFL. The "N" in NFL doesn't stand for "National".

[tallflguy]

You racist bitch!! If this is guy is any good then he will play, if not he will be on the bench.  You are out of your mind if a team put this guy on the bench if he going to be a star. How about you come over my place say the same thing to my face. Coward!

[polinikz]

Glady. But first, just let me call my lawyer, so when you decide to assault me, he can the the lawsuit paperwork ready.

[tallflguy]

lol, wow you got me scared now. Trust me I not silly enough to assault you. Ohh and by the way my father and 2 brothers are lawyers so I think I might have a little bit more legal firepower than you!
