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.

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.

1) RW was never good enough, but yet he got voted 5 times to the Pro-Bowl and one All-Pro team. Oh, yeah, that "Redskins Hatter Media" again right?

2) Didn't play in schemes that suited his abilities? What? So is that why he got voted to those all-star honors?

They put him there because coverage IS is weakness. He excels at swarming the ball and is in part the reason he fails in coverage. He's aggressive and continually goes after the big play instead of playing sound defense.

1. Nothing to do with 'Redskins Hatter Media', more so about Cowboys players in general getting more praise than they're worth.

2. Yes when he was played close to the line of scrimmage he was a good player but he didn't possess game changing abilities like Laron. The second he had to play FS he was even more atrocious than Laron at FS.

and maybe, just maybe Landry being as good as he is at swarming to the ball and laying the wood has something to do with playing him close to the line of scrimmage. As opposed to his coverage being so atrocious that they need to hide it.

Nothing wrong with seeing him as a serviceable replacement (imo at least), they're a lot wrong when someone sees him as a viable alternative though.

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.

Roy Williams was not a roamer when he played in Dallas. Ugh, this is tiresome.. People will argue their points untill the end of time and everyone will have their own "facts"

I simply say LL coverage skills are not as bad as some of you say they are. I've never missed a snap of a Redskins game since '88, and nothing anyone says can change my mind from what iv'e seen in Laron's play so far for the Redskins in his career. People talking about things they dont even understand just because it sounds good to them, and talking about how the defense was better without Laron Landry last year? Haha... It's only proving the point that this isn't a debate about LL's coverage skills.. Just more of a defensive/offensive thread about Landry in general and why people have personal issues with a guy they don't even know.

I can't even understand how my D. Hall thread got locked, but this one is still allowed to go on, and it's even worse and more retarded lol.

I'm just going to agree to disagree, and be done with it.

If that's what you were trying to point out, than I agree with you to a certain extent (we still need a better SS than Doughty imo) but you sure have a funny way of pointing things out.

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



Nicks and Manningham???

1. I don't eat crow. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, just like YOU would be if the Skins win.

2. We should probably let the Giants and the Skins decide this one. That will be a lot more fun than settling it via Madden.

3. THERE IS NO NUMBER THREE.

As far as how we play against the Giants
