Re: Landry is MIA

This is nothing new with Landry they call it voluntary for a reason. The only thing he's missing out on is being with this teamates, people forget Springs and ST did this and they gave them a pass. That being said if Landry wants to become an elite FS instead of a good one, he should be here but that's his choice.

Well said and that is my point about my last comment. If the guy wants to be an elite level player he needs to show up, at least to shake some offseason rust off and get a jump before camp. These guys are being paid mucho $$$$$$$$$ to bring home a title and it would be nice if they showed that they want to actually do it. They guys who want to win do not jerk around, make any and all preseason/offseason workouts, and do a shitload on their own in the offseason(like LT, etc). If Landry is indeed doing some crap like LT and some of the other hardcore players, then maybe I could see not giving a crap, but this guy doesn't seeem hardcore.

Why does what they make matter? How does it change the definition of the word voluntary?

The whole "they get a lot of money to play a game" is one of the silliest arguments out there in my opinion.

Not everyone gave them a pass.

True, but most people did because they were better players than Landry, and it showed on the field. LL hasn't fully shown what he can be and that's where the issue lies with me. He thinks he's great but he's just a good FS right now. The problem with LL is that he's on the borderline between good/great, but his work ethic seems to be lacking. Some guys just aren't motivated to be great, which is what it comes down to. The problem I have is that he hasn't shown up at all, and then not calling the coach back is BS. Someone said earlier, if DS called Landry would be sure to pickup his phone.
