Not a good idea. We really had an under performing coaching staff. It was embarrassing at times last season.
Landry has the skills to be a stud safety in the NFL once he is properly coached up by a qualified staff and put in the proper scheme. It would be a big mistake to unload him because of one really bad season. Landry's problems can easily be corrected with time and patience.
What interested me more in this article was Lito Shepard being available. He would be a great replacement for Smoot (nickle back CB) who is getting long in the tooth. With no cap this year you can front load a contract to get him and not pay the price when the cap returns the following year. I am ok with keeping Smoot as a nickle/dime Safety, but he does not have the speed to be an every down CB.
We need insurance at CB in case Kevin Barnes and Justin Tryon do not pan out, which up to this point they are not yet there.
