One of Landry's biggest plays sunday actually is a good example of how unsound his play often is. On that sack of Brees, he never even got his hands on him from what I could see. It was another hit w/no rap. Brees almost stayed on his feet.

He had a big game yesterday save for a few plays. But when you're a free saftey you can't gamble when your team is up 7 & there's less than 2:00. I've thought that Landry has often been criticized unfairly this year for not "making plays" yet when he was out of the picture (literally if you're watching on tv) he was probably doing a great job. Now it seems the last 5 weeks or so he's getting out of position and/or taking chances to the detriment of the team. He's playing like Lavar at free safety!!!

something seems amiss a la 2006, when the secondary was getting beat at least once a week by a deep ball. That year the T. Friend article quoted an anonymous source about how the safety & secondary coaches instructed players differently. If what we're seeing lately isn't a coaching/scheme issue, it's at least a coaching/discipline issue.
