And for a guy who plays 30 yards off the ball, we probably shouldn't have given up long pass plays to Larry Fitzgerald and Nate Washington (just to name two). Then there was the cover three TD play against the Saints, where Drew Brees manipulated him with his eyes way, way too easily, getting a 25 yard inside seam basically uncovered.

It is safe to agree with you that he's probably ill suited for a role that was created with Taylor in mind, even if he did play it very well at the end of 2007.

You just named two of the best at their position (who happen to school everybody) and the defending Super Bowl champions. For a 2nd year player, playing out of position, I think all you've done is further prove my point.

I don't have any idea what point you're trying to make, so I guess that's possible.

I think your point is something like: having Landry is better than having Okoye and Kenny Phillips (as an example of someone we might have drafted instead). I pointed out that Landry had a down year last year (something that Okoye also had). You can't dispute that, all you said was that Landry runs really fast and hits like a truck. Great, but, I don't care.

He's got issues with play diagnosis and tackling. He makes a lot of mistakes still. He's a second year player, and he's going to get better for sure. But I still think Okoye, who is only going to be 22 this year, is a much better prospect.

I don't know what that's confusing you so much. Perhaps I was unclear.

Sounds eerily similar to the analysis of a safety we drafted in 2004 early on in his career.

It's all good. We're just two B&G fans who love the team, debating a past draft. That being said....DRAFT MAUALUGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are correct, that's a guy who had play diagnosis issues and really exploded taking about four steps forward in 2007. It only makes it worse that it ended like it did.
