Some things never go away. Leggroan the Ramstein rams never say die Southpaw quarterback is Back a not that he Ever left a and he has a vengeance. Ramstein a four year Veteran has returned to the rams starting quarterbacking duties a move predicated by the tumultuous ouster of former head coach Bill Schultz by Csc officials and the injection of former head coach Larry Bolding Sall out passing barrage that occasionally resembles an offence More often resembles a sandlot game of a go  a being a starting quarterback in the Csc has never been a steady Job a Leggroan allowed wryly. And he should know. In his four years in the league with Ramstein he a been the flavor of the week several times but he a also plucked a splinter or two from his his gluteal area. There was a rib injury that sidelined him for much of last season. Two broken fingers will keep Leggroan out of action when the rams travel to Lindsey on sunday. But there have also been names that have relegated the Chucky doll of the Csc a he never Dies and has been known to slash apart secondaries quite Well. Names like Herron. Johnson. Leggroan. Chuck Herron beat Leggroan out in 1989, and . Johnson took Over the quarterbacking duties last year. Leggroan has been his own worst enemy at times with a above average interception rate. A fall the interceptions 5 in be had this year have been my fault a Leggroan said. A but there could have been a lot More if it weren to for my  the rams receiving corps which Leggroan Calls a the Best in the league a include speedster Derick Allen a a smooth Bonnie Daye George Barnes . Richardson and Robert Griffin. The rams rank Sec Csc week 7 Brace Leggroan will miss the Lindsey game with an injury. Ond to Only Span Dahlem in team passing. A if i put the Ball anywhere in the Vicinity they la catch it. We re so deep at receiver that . And smooth have to split time. The receivers Are the thing that make this team go. Any quarterback can come in and do the same thing in a  but Johnson Isnit making Leggroan a Job As easy. Johnson led the rams to the playoffs last year Only to Bow to Span Dahlem. Leggroan came to the Rescue late in that game Only to witness a Fumble in the last minute to Seal Spang Dahlem a Victory. When the rams started practising Schultz kept Leggroan As his starter. An emergency leave put Johnson Back behind Center but Leggroan regained the Job when he returned. On sunday the Finger injury will keep Leggroan but of action and put Johnson Back in the pocket. . Is the better athlete hands Down Quot Leggroan admitted. A a he a got the better Arm. But i be been with the system for two years More than he has. In this system you Don t have to have that big Arm. In a sure his Opportunity will come. In fact i know it  a there was no Supric that Boldin tapped Leggroan a Sembach coach Ken fears another Long time Csc vet said. A when his lines blocking Brucell put it up. He really brings another dimension to them. When he son he a  Schultz s spat with an on Field official relegated hint to a Mere spectating role for a season and brought Boldin Back for a Swan song a godsend to Leggroan who said he harbours no ill will for Schultz but feels comfortable under Boldin his old coach. A in a Way. In a the reason Schultz got suspended when we were playing Pitburg a Leggroan said. A we were on one of those Long drives and hit Barnes in the end zone which would have won the game. The ref said he trapped  Boldin s return was met with cheers front the Ramstein roster. A Boldin emphasizes that we re out there to have fun a Leggroan said. A when there s a lot of work and a lot of suffering and you re still losing and not doing things you re accustomed to doing its not fun. Its a lot More structured under Boldin with watching tapes and studying the other team that we done to have time to think about the other teams.
