Landry is MIA

[GridIron26]

As much it would be nice for Landry to show up at OTAs, but just like some people said in the thread: it is VOLUNTARY activities.. And I'm absolutely certain that Landry is keeping in shape and all that stuff..

It's somewhat embarrassing when Zorn announces to media that Landry refuses to return his calls.. But it appears Zorn isn't only one who's "disappointed" in Landry..

(I'm not giving this as an ammo to Landry bashers, but just to show that Zorn isn't only one): Redskins' safeties coach Jackson calls out Landry - NFC East - ESPN

As a coach,not on the high level and just coach younger kids baseball,when a player doesnt show it is hard to go through what you need to.

Your right it is voluntary, but if your the only player not there than whats up with that. Does he feel that if he works out on his on that he is getting in better shape? Is he getting the reps to go against other NFL WR? I hope he is not satisfied just to be a average player and make his little money. Its nice that all the other Redskins player think they can benefit from OTA's. Its about the team not individuals that make a Champion Team. LaRon don't be Alone Wolf get with your teammates. Oh how about having respect and return the call from your coaches. I bet when you were in High School or Collage your ass would be calling the coaches back. Get to the Pros Heads swell up.

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.

I seriously doubt Landry want out of DC. He is in a great city to live, a team with a great fan base, a consistent top 10 defense AND most importantly an owner who overpays everyone. Why in the hell would he want out? As for him ignoring the coach, I cant stand with that tactic at all...whats the point? Just disrespectful IMO

Oh how I love the NFL in June. Who cares? Why is this even news? I want preseason!!!
