LaRon Landry to IR
 

Season over. Interpret that however you want.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Makes sense under the circumstances.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

It does, but I was hoping he'd be back for Dallas and NJ.

How exactly did he get this injury? I don't recall one play in particular.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

I guess no pro bowl. That's our luck the guy plYs like the best safety in the NFC and he gets hurt

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Next year, lets hope he comes back on fire the seasons over anyway.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Well look on the bright side, what if he came back this season, tore his ACL/PCL/MCL or something, and ended up out until midseason next season anyways? And now we don't have to worry about him rushing back so he can play before the season is over.

Take plenty of time and get plenty of rest Laron, because there's no doubt we'll need you next season.

Don't know exactly how, but he was injured in the Eagles game on 11/15 and had missed the last four games. I never saw him actually leave the game because of the injury.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

I don't think anything's torn, he's just not 100%. He could probably play this season if he had to. But our defense, team for that matter, hasn't been as intense since he's been gone.

This is bittersweet news but in the end, it is right move.. Since we are out of playoff hunts, there's no point to rush Landry back in the game if he is not 100% healthy.. Basically what mooby said, says it all for me..

This will give us a chance to evaluate players and see who can be the best back-up to Landry for next season..

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Obviously the right move. He's a valuable asset to us.

Reed Doughty hasn't played bad in his absence, but that's because Doughty has always been a true strong safety as opposed to free safety where he's out of position. I'd keep Doughty for next season, get rid of Horton because he's expendable (we don't need 3 true strong safeties on the roster, we should have 2 strong and 2 free), make Kareem Moore a backup safety (seriously don't understand how you can play free safety and not try to be a physical presence) and get a good free safety through free agency or the draft/trade.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

No need to risk him this year, good call to shut him down.

And oh yeah, he's officially NOT a bust! ;)

maybe not a bust but he does have injury issues now...

i think everyone pretty much knew he was done a few weeks back, heile pretty much said it one night on news 4. the worst part is the way he was going he was a lock for a pro-bowl nod, hopefully he comes back hungry next year... maybe 20 lbs heavier...maybe as a inside lb :)

stay dirty landry

I agree with you on everything.. I used to be big fan of Horton, thought he would become a good story.. But it doesn't look like Horton fits in Hasslett's defense..

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

shame we wont see laron again this season but it makes perfect sense. no sense in having him re-injure it. isnt it an achilles? that would be very bad to rupture that. smart move.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Is this injury require achilles surgery?

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Anyone else concerned that dude could be juicing? He put on A LOT of lean muscle mass in the offseason, he's been a remarkably better player this year, and now he's having ligament issues. I fully admit it's not likely, and i hesitate to post it, but I've had that doubt for a while now.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Have you heard about his workout routine? The guy is a monster.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

I heard on the LaVar and Dukes show (so take this for what it's worth) that it could "rupture at any time." If that's the case, it was definitely the right call to shut him down. The team has to protect a guy from himself and make sure he's not going to talk trainers into thinking he can go. If they let him go and he gets hurt, I'd blame the team. It makes sense to IR him and not have to take that risk.

The season's over anyway, no sense in putting him out there. We know what we have. I want to know if Doughty is good enough to be a part of this team going forward. I'd like to find that out about Horton too, but I think we may already have our answer on that. As for Doughty, he's a fair backup, but I wouldn't mind looking into FA for someone to make him earn his spot next year.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Yeah, another player had a similar injury. I can't remember who. Randy Thomas maybe? Either way, that player didn't go on IR when his achilles was aggravated and he ultimately ruptured it and was never the same again. Skins don't want that with Landry

I agree w/first part & see you one higher. Doughty has started here quite a bit over the years & the D has not suffered when he's been in. I think he's more than adequate & is a guy that deserves his spot. He's one of the best tacklers on the team & plays run support very well. His downside is man coverage, but in the zone he's ok at that.

I don't see the need to try to replace him, but free safety is another story. Kareem Moore is one of, if not the, biggest disappointments this year. I thought he looked quite good in limited duty last year. This year he always seems lost, late to the play & his tackling is less than tentative. I know he's played w/some little ailments, maybe there's more to it than has been reported. I hope that's the case, cause if he's been healthy for the most part, his game hasn't shown enough to merit even making the team next year if they bring in competition.

[quote=Mattyk;768687]Have you heard about his workout routine? The guy is a monster.[/quote]

Yeah, that's also what prompted me to say the above... I don't understand how anyone could recover so quickly. He says he's going balls out on the weights late at night before games. I mean, he is human... that said, I hope I'm wrong and truly there's nothing for it but conjecture.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Lifts on gamedays in the morning too...reportedly.

Monster.

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Ok, Thanks Landry. Now who gets pulled up from the PS to take Landry's spot?

There is:
Bender Jacob- OT
Selvish Capers- OT
Rob Jackson- DE (Edited, sorry)
Taurus Johnson- WR
Shawnbrey McNeal- RB
Maurice Price- WR
Sha'reff Rashad- S

Re: LaRon Landry to IR
 

Who the heck is Bender Jacob?


I say bring up Shawnbrey to take Roydell's snaps.
