Landry is doing what is expected of him in his rookie year, and it IS allowing Taylor to contribute in other ways he couldn't last year. But at some point, someone is going to have to fix the gaping hole in deep pass coverage. Eventually teams are going to figure out that you can't hit the holes in the Redskins zone defense because Taylor is too aggressive and that the way to beat us is to be patient, and throw it deep late.

Not that Okoye could have done much about this, but the pressure up the middle he would have provided could have been invaluable. In any case, Landry will do his job for us for a long time and we will probably remain relatively strong on defense for a long time.

Seriously, I didn't know Taylor was still getting beat. I didn't even think there were more than one or two deep passes completed against us so far. Either way, I think the more confident Taylor gets w/ Landry dominating routes and runners in the box he should cover the deep threat better and better. If he's getting beat toward end of season there is a problem.

Well, the passes haven't been complete. Chambers dropped about 3, and McNabb and Kitna missed about one each. My point is that they all were there if the offense had connected.

Now that the nature of the deep pass, you can't always complete it even when its open. That doesn't excuse Taylor's angles to the ball, which are always an adventure to say the least.

I don't think Detroit should draft a wideout in the first round for another 20 years. It's a curse.

lets judge entire future careers after 4 starts... great.
