Bengals uncover gem in Leonard

After eight straight losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paul Brown Stadium, it seems odd that the Bengals would break the streak the way they did.

Who dey?

Go Bengals!

[Balls Deep]

WHOOOO DEY!!!! Big win 4 Cincy!!

BTW: Another example of a 2009 NFL team full of "Grinders" type players would be the 49ers.

where all all the big bad steeler clowns that could not shut those fat pie holes last week

As a very long time Rutgers fan, I am so proud of Brian. He single handedly changed the losing culture at RU and became the poster boy for success. What you see is what you get. You will not see him dancing in the end zone or anything like that. He is a true throw back to the days when football players were real men and not publicity hounds. Cincy is damn lucky to have him.

[Bengal fan]

I agree with Balls Deep. Where is biffy boy and ghostryder?

[Bengal fan]

oops agree with Shane also/moreso

Exactly! A character guy who does his job and plays team ball - wish the team had 20 more like him...

Leonard is exactly what the Bengals needed. A smart guy who works hard, makes plays and doesn't get arrested.

[James Dennis]

Good for the bengals .Anytime the Steelers are beat I am glad.

Brian Leonard is a great asset to the Bengals. Rutgers fans know this very well!

[Simmons]

He may not be the "most athletic back", but his combine numbers were certainly solid and his youtube highlights from college might speak more of him then he himself does.

[daniel tyler]

Not athletic? solid combine numbers?
4.49 is better than solid, he would have been one of the fastest backs if he had came out this year.

[castefootball]

i find it strange that everybody agrees that he's soooo great, but he is hardly ever utilized.
people need to wake up to the FACT that the nfl is anti-white.

[njrutgers]

Leonard is too modest for his own good. He's a good running back, who if he was given 20 carries in a game would surprise the hell out of a lot of people, except for those who watched him at Rutgers. Go Brian!

[njrutgers]

Castefootball-- I don't believe the nfl is anti-white, but I do wonder why a guy like Matt Jones went unsigned. Here's a guy 6'7' runs a 4.3something and the league is hurting for WRs.

[Ok I am confused]

What until they come to PITTSBURGH!!!

compare david ball to jerry rice in college. what were their college credentials and when were they drafted?

the evidence is clear. the nfl is anti-white.

[Eric]

Leonard needs to be running the football

[apw]

He is a great team player. He does what is needed whether it be running a ball, catching a ball or even blocking for someone who can do those better. I met him once and he was really polite and nice. As a Rutgers fan, I am very happy that he's doing all of us proud not just because of football but also because of his character.

What?! you are not very bright huh? you guys had a better record against us in Paul Brown!!!!!!!! Just like every other Steeler idiot you guys can dish it out with those alsways open mouths of yours but when the refs dont hand you the game on a platter you bitch and whine. Take it like a man and wait for for your next ass whupppin in %$#@spuke!
