Why did the Ravens get Vonta Leach?

It obviously wasn't a Cam "purchase".....so I ask, what was the point?

With only 9 pure rushing plays all night, not sure how you can pin anything on him.

He opens up running lanes and has been doing so well. But when your OC only gives him 9 chances, you tend not to notice.

I think that is OP's point. There was no point to signing him when you are throwing the ball 40-50 times a game week in and week out. The money spent on him could and should have been used elsewhere if this is how the envisioned the offense looking back in the offseason. Great player but no role on this team if they are going to be a pass happy offense.

He's not pinning anything on Leach. It's more of a comment on Cam and Harbaugh. They said the problem last year in the running game was they didn't have a true fullback. They go out at sign the best true fullback in the game and make him the highest paid player ever at his position. Then they decide not to use him at what he's great at.

It makes no sense to sign someone who doesn't fit the scheme you want to run. Either you sign someone else instead or you change your scheme. Instead it's seems to be a square peg in a round hole.

They got him to cover up David Reeds fumbles on the kickoffs. Cams offensive gameplans are not geared after the players skills on the team.

So he can stand beside Harbs and Cam as a body guard so they dont blow out an ACL like Sean Payton.

Some complain Cam is conservative.

Some complain Cam is to aggressive.

Geez.

[Whitty Hutton]

What? You didnt love the play when he was motioned out to wide receiver?

[Bhcforlife]

They would have been better off just keeping McClain if they knew all along they wanted to run this kind of offense.

Agreed. You don't need a bulldozer to have your QB dropping back almost 60 times a game.

His problem is that he doesn't know when to do each. One in 5 games he'll have a good game plan. That's not good enough.
