NY Daily News: Leonard Taylor was “misused” at Miami

[GOCANES05]

Listen I’m a huge LT I wanted him have all American seasons so they’d sell his Canes jersey. But his motor and focus just wained too much.

Even the hype of LT was trying to get him to perform and held on as long as possible.

LT was never up for a fight if you smack him early he’ll fade away to less resistance .
If playing over a weak opponent he’s a super hero with a huge cape waving to the crowd here I am.
Knowing he’s in a physical (4) quarter fight , nah it’ll pass attitude over takes his game.

 

[The U is back to work]

Gave 20% effort for 3 straight seasons but gave 100% effort for shopping

That’s going to **** a lot of people off

Like who?
I’ve been as vocal as anyone regarding LT’s performance over his three years at UM, but I’ve never rooted against him. Ever. He’s a Cane. Most, if not all, of the commenters feel the same. I’ve seen people say that they don’t think he will make it in the league. I’ve seen people say he was out of position (maybe) and that he took plays off. I’ve seen the flash play comments. But I haven’t seen anyone rooting against him or rooting for him to fail or as you put it, getting ****ed off that he made the 53.

There’s a difference between speaking the truth (his film had a lot of holes in it) and hoping someone fails or getting piszed off when someone succeeds.

You seem to have taken this personally. I would have mentioned you if I was directing it towards you personally

Didn't coach have to call a meeting with his momma to try to light a fire under his ***????

And you’re not gonna gaslight me here either, which is precisely what your last response was.

I asked a question that you did not answer. Who is going to be piszed over him making the 53 man squad? Who?

You didn’t answer it because your original statement was stupid. Right up there with the folks who do the “y’all” thing when commenting. Y’all implies everyone other than the speaker/writer. You made a dumb comment. I called you on it. I tried politely the first time. Now I’m just being blunt.

 

[KANE]

Nah, it’s probably more like, “I better get my big *** in gear, start paying attention to the coaches, and stop taking plays off or I will be back at the Crib, with no league money, and my college degree (hopefully he finished it) hoping to find a way to put food on the table.”

 

[Shooter McGavin]

You all know I’m not a Taylor fan but I will give credit when due. He’s had a heck of a preseason.

[Shooter McGavin]

So Manny was here for how many years and that’s the only guy? I do remember the guy that was dancing on the sidelines.

That was Holley

 

[pacusmc]

I guess we misused him at the combine too.

I hope for his sake he didn’t wake up too late. The league has zero patience.

 

[BS85]

Leonard had a smoke too much weed, play too many video games problem. If he gets addiction counseling help, he could be an all pro.

You’ve certainly read through this thread. You know which people are critical of his play and which people are just spewing negative remarks about someone. Those people know too. You’re the only one who took my comment personally. But unless you’re just purposely skipping replies you have to see the folks here who were gloating at his perceived failures.

I don’t see it that way. You said “that’s going to **** a lot of people off” in reply to LT making the Jets roster. I asked who is going to be ****ed off. You still haven’t answered that question and I don’t anticipate you will now either as you continue to move the goalposts in an attempt to deflect from my question. I’m not a fan of throwing out accusatory statements like you did. I am however a fan of letting things go.

Carry on.

Chuck Amato going to all our DL recruits showing them this tweet to get them to decommitt. IYKYK

Blast from the unfortunate past.

Hope that scummy mfer dies a horrible death

 

[PBJFanatic]

Said this in the procanes thread:

Idk if you can attribute his drop to misused, we did have him playing NT bc we recruited DT's so poorly over the years but thats a stretch. His awfully poor combine was the cause for his drop and his character issues.

He’s lazy. Not consistent. This is a favor from a writer to an agent and vice versa.

You literally just did the exact same thing you’re lecturing me over. Vague accusatory statements at nobody in particular.

Enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

 

[sdaly12]

Yeah, that's a load of crap. His problem was not how he was used, but his effort. Watch him closely in games and he looked like he was going through the motions and motoring at half speed much of the time. Then you'd suddenly see him go all out and make a splash play and wonder where that version of him was earlier in the game.

agreed, never thought he was in Thebes of shape as well

Shame you didn’t catch that the first time I did. It wasn’t on accident.

Caio

 

[bAMACANE]

I think our personnel issues was more of an issue. He needs to play along side a DT that’s eating up space so he can just penetrate. He never really played alongside another DT that fit that mode. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if he has a long career.
