Not to split hairs, but Greg Williams' defense is based on Cover 2 / Tampa 2 with some wrinkles thrown in. GW likes to bring pressure from the LBs and Corners, which leaves the Safties spliting the field in Cover 2. Cover 2 is not effective with a run-stopping, blitzing SS, look at how bad Arch and our pass coverage was last year.

Hey if you're the Raiders do you take Greg Olsen to help out as a safety valve for your new QB or do you protect him with an OL like Arron Sears?

[jsarno]

I wouldn't mind trading someone for WR Jarrett. I think he's the real deal. But who would we trade?

Trust me, I know more than you...if you think we need another run stopping safety, you have no idea what we really need.

and yes you dummy we dont have anthing but a 6th pick (not a 5th pal).

What are you talking about? 5th ROUNDER is our next pick. Pay attention before you start calling someone else a dummy.

shit i would trade all our picks the following year every year to get better picks in the year of the draft becasue the only time that will only haert you is the final year of the nfl's life

OK, it has become obvious that after this comment, I am arguing with the Village Idiot. And we all know the saying about arguing with the village idiot.

I suggest you calm down on the name calling in the future. There is no need for it. We should all be civil here.

Have a good conversation.

I see it spelled like that so much that it is starting to scare me into believing that the large majority of people actually think that is the correct way of spelling ridiculous.

From ESPN Insider

6. Washington Redskins
The pick: LaRon Landry, S, LSU
Scouts take: It's impossible to say whether or not this is the perfect move for Washington at this point because the Redskins have so few picks and no one knows exactly what transpired in terms of trade offers leading up to the pick. If they weren't offered quality value for the pick, then taking Landry is an excellent move. Though the Redskins have more pressing needs than safety, it is a need and there's nothing Landry can't do. He is a tough run defender who takes the shortest path to the ball and delivers big hits. He times hits well and punishes receivers that go over the middle. He can cover the deep half of the field and can match up with slot receivers.





One area of concern is his ability to play the ball when it's in the air, but he has adequate ball skills and he should benefit from lining up next to Sean Taylor. Taylor's excellent range and ability to play a center fielder-type role will help protect Landry. Finally, having such talented safeties gives the Redskins more freedom in terms of mixing as well as hiding coverages and helps the pass rush out by forcing quarterbacks to hold on to the ball longer.

Enough said. Anybody outside of Skinsdom will debate this pick only because their team wanted Landry. Inside, they really hate us.
