With all the talk about quarterback Joe Flacco and this up-tempo offense, I really hope Pro Bowl fullback Vonta Leach doesn’t get overlooked. If you get a chance to watch a tape of Monday’s game, check out the block Leach makes on Ray Rice’s 7-yard touchdown run. And while you are at it, review pretty much every one of Rice’s runs and watch what Leach does in front of him. Leach is considered by most NFL pundits as the best fullback in the NFL and he was all over the field Monday, even catching three balls for 18 yards. You could almost hear the audible groan in the crowd last year on those Flacco to Leach dump-offs. However, in the preseason and through Week One, the combination has been pretty productive. And it is always entertaining to watch the burly fullback turn the corner and lower his shoulder on a defensive back. View the full article
