Landry just needs to play within the scheme and he will make plays.

Guess you don't remember Lavar shadowing McNabb about 5 or so years ago with great success. I'm sure one of Landry's jobs will be to stick to Westbrook like glue

You're right, I don't remember.

Just because it worked once, doesn't mean it is the best option. They'll recognize that, and find a way to get the ball to a different weapon. It takes more than one player to stop an offense.

By the way, if Landry is to "stick to Westbrook like glue" as you say, then that will be his only job. Why limit him like that?
