Laron Landry turned loose!
 
Other than the helmet to helmet shot on Clemens, Landry had a hell of a day. I was reading that GW turned him loose and let him blitz when he wanted to and it really seemed to pay off, especially on that wicked shot where he drilled Clemens for the sack. He seems to have a great feel for blitzing.

Knew the kid was a player. He did a great job after his mistake. But even a penalty when you whack the crap out of the QB is worth it to me. Made that QB think and look for #30 the rest of the whole day.

Good work Landry!

Sure, it was helmet to helmet, but MAN it was awesome.

Yeah, Landry had a hell of a game. I was pissed about the personal foul on Clemens because it basically gave the Jets three points, but you could see the effects of the hit for the rest of the game. Any time Landry blitzed after that play, Clemens panicked and tossed a crappy pass, or immediately ran out of the pocket.

Landry played lights out all day. I'm glad Leon Washington didn't make that catch when he seperated from Landry; he learned from it and continued making great plays.

We learned the Landry can blitz yesterday...wow.

The above looks sarcastic...its not. Landry is fast and can blitz well--better than well.

Damn straight! I say it was almost worth the 15 yard penalty. Almost...

Landry will be a star in the league. People have already called him a more physical Troy Polamalu.

I liked how Landry was all over the field, but I saw him miss several tackles. Am I the only one that saw this?

MTK 11-05-2007 11:05 AM

Re: Laron Landry turned loose!
 
Yeah he still doesn't take the best angles and there was that one play where he just shoved the guy and didn't go for a solid tackle. Considering he's still a rookie though I can't complain too much. He's still pretty damn solid for a rookie safety.

Yeah he hasn't given up big plays, which is key. He and Taylor work well together, which is even more key. And he'll only get better, which is most key of all.

Re: Laron Landry turned loose!
 
He's still learning--safety is not that easy to pick up, and especially when playing for GW. But we saw why he was drafted where he was. The two licks he put on Clemens were nasty--what speed coming off that corner.

Got to keep it up, and learn the angles and fakes--he bit hard there on one, but the Jets are just too weak to convert. Others will not be so forgiving. But we could afford to turn him lose yesterday, and it was nice to see.

Any more keys we need to be aware of?!?!

I have a feeling G-Dub is going to blitz more down the stretch, make teams beat the defense deep, as opposed to the deep zone the Skins have been playing. The Patriots have shown the league how to pick it apart, and now G-Dub will adjust.

Landry is going to be a special player, and it certainly doesn't hurt that Taylor is back there helping him out and complimenting each other's strengths.

Re: Laron Landry turned loose!
 
He did have one heck of a day. That helmet to helmet...might make that game check a little lighter...?

But he was flyin! Lets keep him bringing the heat after these QB's.

firstdown 11-05-2007 04:25 PM

Re: Laron Landry turned loose!
 
It was key that we drafted him and key that we decided to let him start. The biggest key of all is that GW is now letting him blitz more and that very key for his development.

Re: Laron Landry turned loose!
 
i love this guy he is the best young safety in the league!!!!!!! What about Taylor having a monster season under the radar, so to speak??

Re: Laron Landry turned loose!
 
Yup! Turned Loose! I dont have a big issue with Landrys Personal Foul on Clemens. That showed fire

djnemo65 11-05-2007 05:14 PM

Re: Laron Landry turned loose!
 
We are developing one of the most fearsome secondaries in the league. With injuries at corner, it's good to know that people will still have to think twice about attacking our secondary.

SouperMeister 11-05-2007 07:14 PM

Re: Laron Landry turned loose!
 
I'm glad that we're finally blitzing Landry - he looks like our fastest DB when set loose after the QB. He was shot from a cannon on some of those blitzes.

he was a monster yesterday. Have to stay away from the helmet to helmet though

Looks like his wallet is a little lighter today

Re: Laron Landry turned loose!
 
Ouch. It must be nice to get fined 16,000 and not miss it. Must be like me getting a speeding ticket.

LL played a great game, and for a while was the only thing worth really cheering about. Keep it up, I would love to have a fresh ST, and LL video to watch at the end of the season. Seems like since we picked him up, everyone starting putting a little extra pop on the hits in the secondary.

Was this the hit he was fined for? I missed most of the first quarter and heard this hit on the radio in my car. :D

Re: Laron Landry turned loose!
 
Did anyone see the ball come out of Clemmons hands when Landry got that sack?
I thought the ball came loose but Landry didn't grab it. Maybe it was blown dead?

Great blitzing for the most part, but on at least 3 occassions he needed to get his hands up as the ball was released. He could've prevented a few completions.

This was actually a different hit. He was harassing Clemens all day, but Landry was still on his feet when he delivered the helmet to helmet shot.
