I think the excuse about learning has become invalid, as Landry played all of 2008 as Free Safety and spent his 3 years at LSU as a free safety. The mistakes should be becoming less and less, and overall he had been a solid player for the Redskins.

Meanwhile, you have a game he's been thinking about for almost a full year, trying to exact revenge. Adrenaline got the best of him. If it further becomes an issue, Blache should address it. However, a week at practice and in the film room will show him the mistakes he made and he should make the necessary adjustments.

Everybody read this!? Landry was not a SS "until he got to Washington" like i read every friggin time someone starts a thread about him. He is used to playing the "center field" role...his troubles have absolutely nothing to do w/ him being suited for a different position blahblahblah.

Thank you Mr. BDBohnzie for the clarification.

The problem is, he didn't play the "center field role" because they don't play the sissy coverage defense that the Redskins do. Most of the time Craig Steltz was deeper than Landry and he came on a lot of blitzes. He blitzes from his FS spot in Washington far less than he did at LSU. So, no, he's not really used to playing the centerfield role all the time. He moved around a lot more at LSU, much like I read Blache wanted to do with him this season...deep guy on downs 1&2 and blitzer/down in the box guy on 3rd/passing downs
