Laron Landry Grinds My Gears

[53Fan]

I'm not taking up for Landry, he has some growing up to do, but has anyone seen how many times they show that play where he gets trucked by Jacobs? One day last week I watched a show where they showed it 6 times in a row. Over and over. And this is on a local "Redskins" station! I bet they don't show Fletch knocking Jacobs ass-backwards over and over. Some of the coverage by these shows who use the, "We cover the Redskins!" to gain viewers makes me sick. The way Blache plays him, Landry acts like when he does get a chance to make contact he wants it to be a kill shot but he ends up missing more than he makes.

Landry does need to grow up. It is not just the penalty thing or the missed tackle thing, either. He has the talent to be a force in the middle of the field. But he doesn't work hard, thus squandering his talent somewhat, leaving the middle of the field a weak part of our pass defense. He has yet to play like a #6 pick because he hasn't grown up enough to work hard.

yeah thats my view on landry too. last year it seemed like we pretty much played 1 safety, and that was landry, 40 yds from the line of scrimmage, asked to just sit back there and go sideline to sideline if a deep ball is thrown. id like to see him closer to the LOS but then who do we have on the roster that we can trust to do what he does which is basically patrol the deep end of the pool by himself. . . . landry has crazy closing speed.

go skins!!
