landry on the other hand will stop a guy on a run play after he has gained nine yards and stand up and mug everyone like he just caught an int and returned it for 6

not to mention campbell is producing and lookin good, landry is gettin exposed more and more

Plus what the hell is this guy celebrating a tackle or hit when his team is 3 and 9. He should look at the game tape to see himself acting like an idiot in front of the coaches who I hope say something to him.

Part of my original point is that the coaches tolerate his woofing after making a tackle. The coaches have tolerated it all season. You don't see that crap in class organizations like NE, because it is not tolerated there. The coaches need to set a tone that is policed by the veterans, and it's clearly not happening for Landry.

Hard for a team to have accountability when a select few players and some of the coaches have a direct line to Danny Boy and others do not. How do you hold one of "the chosen few" accountable?

Not so sure about that, I've seen Vince Wilfork do plenty of woofing after making a play.

Landry has been on my shit list all year. He is strong in run support at times, but as I've said many times, his agressiveness suits him much better for strong safety. I loved him there when #21 was alive, but Landry has been a liability giving up big plays due to his lack of discipline ALL season. Most of all, he NEVER MAKES PLAYS (2 INTs in 40+ regular season starts). I just want to see the same measure of accountability applied to him that I see being applied to Carlos Rogers. Bottom line, he is the last line of defense. It is Job One of a free safety to prevent receivers from getting behind for easy scores. If Landry does his job, Brees doesn't drive 80 yards in a ridiculous 33 seconds to tie the game.

Outside of his obvious mistakes I thought LL was pretty solid yesterday.

saden1 · 12-07-2009, 02:50 PM

Mike Sellers should be tossed to the sharks! Time to draft a fullback in the 6th round. The coaching staff needs to get on LL about biting on the fakes.

dmek25 · 12-07-2009, 03:41 PM

ever since Sellers signed that contract, he hasn't been worth a rats ass

SmootSmack · 12-07-2009, 03:44 PM

Draft Tim Tebow to replace Sellers!

Seriously though, could Eddie Williams be a possible replacement for Sellers? I was a bit surprised to see Sellers get an extension. I thought he was actually a strong candidate to get cut this past summer

If we've learned ANYTHING this season, it's that we need younger blockers.

I'm in agreement with your assessment, the coaches as well as the players need to be held accountable. For a coach to make it known to a player that tackling is less important than making big plays (like interceptions) is a mistake. It sends the wrong message and could be one of the reasons why we see such uneven play that goes without correction.

It further demonstrates how preferences are shown between players, this could be because the lack of depth forces coaches to play players who do not always carry out their proper assignment. Once you've sent the wrong message it's difficult to come back later and atempt to crack the whip.

Maybe we should also pull a lineman out of a game after they allow a D lineman into the back field, pull our WR's when they drop a ball, bench JC when he throws a bad pass, etc... etc....

You know this does not happen how? I guess your looking for one of those clipboard slinging coaches.

by being at the games and beinn able to see the sidelines, they don't have to sling clipboards but i wouldn't mind them spitting in their face while they are yelling at them if thats what you are talkin about
