[QUOTE=wilsowilso;423089][quote=Sean"Big Hurt"Taylor;423072]I was wondering what do you guys think about us pursuing him to be our free safety and moving dirty 30 back at strong safety.

Laron Landry is an NFL free safety. He is the fastest saftey in the entire league. Using him as a strong safety is a major waste because of his unusual speed even though he is very well suited to play either position.

You would think that Landry would be well suited to play free safety. Laron certainly seemed to make more plays after he was moved to free safety in the last quarter of the season. He wasn't a turnover machine, but he broke up an awful lot of passes and was able to build up speed to put big hits on opposing wideouts.
But, I swear that I've read that the coaches want Landry to move back to strong safety, in which case we may very well be in the market for a free safety. I like Doughty, but probably he's not fast enough to play FS and I wouldn't be particularly surprised to see him relegated to a reserve role.
