To bad we didn’t have coach Frazier then, but let it go man!
2years and we will boast the SB,

Leber is a good player but he only wound up playing about 20 plays a game because he was the linebacker who came out in the nickle defense. He wasn’t really that important to the defense. In this transition season, it makes sense to let him go and get a younger player the experience.

Again, here you go with “transition” I thought you were re-loading?

At what point do you Saints fans stop crowing about winning a championship? It was two years ago for Pete’s sake! Give it up! The Packers are the world champs now! Come on, Man! Grow up!

The Rams sign a back up Linebacker.

You need to learn the rules znorseman. He did touch him, he stepped on his foot and was not turned toward the ball. Cry ’til the day you die!!

Sad to see him go.

To the Rams: Watch out when you play the Saints. Apparently Ben Leber is the only player in the league who can commit Pass Interference without ever actually coming in contact with another player. This can only happen in the NFC Championship… and only when the Saints are on third and long, and only in OT, and only if it puts the Saints in FG range.

I’d say he’s still got at least three years in the tank and he’s an instant upgrade of OLB for them. He’s on the downside of his career but I think he’ll team up well with Lauranitus in the middle and make that defense better.

Rams added age to a young group, Vikings opened up space for youth in a old group. Win/Win!!

I think that they’ve made some real progress especially in comparison to the rest of the NFC west.

He will never be the reason for a broken play. But at the same time he wasn’t a difference maker.

Best of luck to you in toasted ravioli land Ben!
