Lol better think of a great excuse and call out!

Considering Landry looked like a likely Defensive MVP last year, there was plenty of drop off.

That's the problem....he "looks like it." The man is a liability in coverage, he takes poor angles and he makes bone-headed plays on a regular bases.

Sure, he's the hardest hitter on the team, but he does not make very good decisions for a safety imho.

Watch and try not to hit something! Ouch....

I don't think you watched him play last year. The role he was in was made for a player like him.

By looked, I mean he was actually playing at the level of a defensive MVP. He was great last year and no one can deny that.

I did watch him. Hard to really tell during the game....you have to catch the stuf on Youtube.


Watch the vid I posted, then defend his play. He was flat out awful at times.

I can deny it because it's true....Landry is kind of overrated.

Overrated?

Coming out of College everyone knew Landry was not a Cover 2 Safety for the NFL. He was more of a Brian Dawkins free lancer type safety that would benefit in a 3/4 aggressive scheme. The Redskins ignored all this, and drafted him anyhow like they always did in the past.

The only good thing now is he is in a system he belongs in. As long as he can play that free lancer role and not get caught up in playing a 4/3 over 2 scheme like G. Williams ran, then he will be a great safety.

I just want to see him heal up and get back on the field.

Doughty is not crap though.. I don't see him stumble like everyone says he does, and we also have Gomes who looked great in preseason.

[Meks]

Agreed... doughty gets beat everytime he's on the field IMO

How about last year against Philly? Remember that game?



As far as him being boneheaded....

NFL Investigating LaRon Landry Spitting Allegations

NEW YORK — The NFL is looking into Eagles center Mike McGlynn's accusation that Redskins safety LaRon Landry spit at him.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday the league checks for video evidence any time there is a report of a player spitting on another during a game. Last week, the NFL did not fine Ravens fullback Le'Ron McClain after the Dolphins said he spit in the face of Miami linebacker Channing Crowder.

After Philadelphia's 59-28 victory at Washington on Monday night, McGlynn said Landry spit at him twice during extra points.

Landry denied spitting at McGlynn, saying: "I'm aggressive. I'm not that type of player."

lol.


Poly pretty much thinks what I do, which is why I slap those "We need to lock up LL now" statements down.


I called LL the Redskins version of Roy Williams. He can lay the wood, play the run, but a huge liability in the pass.

[GusFrerotte]

Sorry I refuse to make a prediction on this one. The Gmen are hurting, and hurting bad, but how many times have we had the Giants come up hurting and we still end up on the losing end of the stick. If we protect Grossman and attack Eli and get him to screw up on cue, then we win. It is that simple. If our Dbs go down like bitches and for some reason we can't get a good pass rush, we lose. It is all about the line play gentlemen. I think we are in good shape though since we have a trio of young stud Rbs to work out. I think we win, but don't quote me on that. Just too much whack history between us and the Gmen.

and who exactly didn't get beat against Philly? The whole team sucked in case you didn't realize.

You're telling me to look at youtube footage from two years ago so I can see how bad he was last year...

Why did we look so bad against Philly? Because Laron shot off his big mouth before the game, that's why. It fired the Eagles up and they kicked our asses. One of the worst losses for me ever.

Thanks, Mr Landry! Do your smack talk on the field next time.

As for the footage being two years old, you're telling my that LL is all better now? I don't buy it.

Yeah nvm, I'll just stop "discussing" with you right now. If you think the reason we lost that game was because we "fired them up" then you aren't worthy of this conversation.

It's obvious you have some sort of pre-determined opinion on him.
