Landry to miss opener vs Giants

[Meks]

Excuse the Droid errors in that rant, ur all big boys,(and girls) , I'm sure u can read passed it

[MTK]

I'm done, not going to get sucked into this vortex any further



Oh and don't interpret this picture. Whatever you think my message is here, is wrong.

Bottom line is when LL is lined up with a decent coverage safety, the defense is better. Dhall, my oh so favorite CB is great when you have a good coverage CB like Los on the other side, so that a safety can zone to Dhall's side.

Agree.

Who feels better lining up with Doughty over Landry?

Any takers?

That would be the noob.....



I prefer to root for people who are aren't prima donnas.

Furthermore, I really feel that the D played substantially better towards the end of the season - WITHOUT Landry. that's not an accident....a team plays better when it doesn't have to deal with distractions, like Haynesworth, or any of the host of other on or off the field issues we had to deal with.

Bone crushing hits are great....I get that...so is intimidation and "alligator arms," but when you are taking huge chances and letting people walk into the end-zone because you did not carry out your assignment, how does that help the team?

This right here is a clear sign that you're a LL hatter. Instead of thinking, "gosh it seems our defense really adjusted to their BRAND NEW scheme as the year went on. Oh and Anthony Bryant actually occupying blockers and moving people at NT really helps.

you're thinking "hmmm Laron is out, this HAS to be the reason.

[Player_HTTR]

I am a Reed Doughty fan. I don't want to have a million of his babies, but he is a serviceable replacement while LL is hurt. Hopefully with Otagwe back there RD can play closer to the line where he is better suited and comfortable I think.

Forget about me for a minute, I was pointing out the fact that we don't have to have LL on our team to be successful. We are not the Laron Landry Redskins - even though it has a nice ring to it, we are a team.....even in 1991, we won the SB despite not starting arguably our best player of the decade - Russ Grim.

[wilsowilso]

LL is a beast in the box.

I think everyone can agree with that.

[CrustyRedskin]

I like Doughty i think he'll do fine unless he has to deal with Andre Johnson, but AJ dont play for the G Men so we're in good shape!!! Go Reed Go!!! Clap clap!! Clap Clap Clap!!!

Doughty is good when he plays up on the line...he sniffs out the ball pretty well. When he misses tackles it usually pretty bad. If he is in coverage its usually an epic fail.

Thing I really like about Doughty, is that he's smart. he has a feel for the game.

#21 was his fan loooong before anyone even knew who he was. Not a bad endorsement.

That injury article is 5 weeks old. Given that Nicks and Manningham have been playing, we might presume that they are now feeling much better.

I'm with Saden. I'm not looking forward to Doughty on Nicks.

So how did Laron fare against these two?

Mario Manningham - Catches: 4 yds:101 Ave:25.3 long:92 TD:1

Hakeem Nicks - out.

....with doughty?

Mario Manningham - Catches:2 yds:36 Ave:18.0 long23 TD:0

Hakeem Nicks - out.

Did you happen to see Nicks at all this preseason? If he's hurting I'm afraid to see him healthy. And yeah that article is a little dated.
