If Caldwell has him, Pitta and Ed in, teams will have to either send out the heavy d to stop the run, and then we have 5 legit receivers to send out, or they'll have to go nickel and we'll be able to run straight at the spot a linebacker should be.
I think he adds a level of flexibility to the base offense that Leach simply doesn't, even though leach is definitely a better pure FB
