Nino Leone

Good grief. Anyone else focus on this kid last night? He was LG and would pull around on runs to the right and he was like a car crashing though the line. At 6-5, 345 he can really move. The first time I noticed it, I actually laughed out loud. He would hit the defenders and move them back like they were hit by a baseball bat.

Anyhow, I thought the kid deserved a mention. Don't know how far he has progressed. But as a pulling guard don't think I have seen anything like that dresses in blue.

The O line performed better than we all thought. Yes its the weak link of the team, but Nino and the others showed some confidence and really seemed tireless. And the most important word of the night that I took away is that the O line appeared DISCPLINED. I don't recall seeing a penalty on their part and after each play they really hustled up to the line of scrimmage for the next play.

Thank you Dan. Maybe he's going to fulfill some of those pancake fantasies.

I'm telling you, when I saw this kid, my first reaction was to think of the line that John Cena said on the movie Trainwreck, "I look like Mark Wahlberg ATE Mark Wahlberg!"
