McIntosh & Landry

I don't agree at all. Our D has been great all season. LL makes virtually every play that comes to him. RM is not a PB yet but has played solidly. Don't understand this thread.

i hate to admit that rocky's play has left something to be desired. however, he is coming back from a major knee injury and has been playing WELL, though not great. just b/c carlos is back w/ a vengeance already, doesn't make it fair to expect that of rocky right away.

but landry. LANDRY??? our defense's stats would be VERY different if he were not there. the difference in how offenses attacked us would be CLEAR AS DAY.

the fact that you DON'T notice landry is a testament to the success he is having.

Sean Taylor is irreplaceable, but to suggest that "we need a real FS" is just plain ignorant. Landry is a top tier free safety. He's had a few miscues, but so did Taylor, early on in his career.

I wasn't trying to make an ignorant statement. I was more or less just saying how much I miss Sean Taylor. He is irreplaceable, and I think Landry is a great safety. But I think Taylor was the best safety to ever step foot on an NFL thus far.

The fact that we haven't seem much from landry is (in my mind) a good thing. It means he is doing his job. QBs aren't putting the ball anywhere near him because his coverage is excellent. To talk bad about landry not being seen is just stupid. I hope it stays this way for the rest of the season.

Would you rather see QBs test his coverage? Throw the deep ball near him? Maybe for the fact that he has chances to get interceptions, yes. But, that doesn't happen every time.

Stupid to talk bad about Landry.

Manusky91 · 11-06-2008, 03:38 PM

If we saw more of Landry then that means our D-Line, linebackers, corners are not doing their jobs. The quieter he is the better the rest of the team is playing. This thread was started because Landry's been quiet...well can you say #4 ranked defense?

JLW428 · 11-06-2008, 03:46 PM

Looking though these posts, I'm glad that everyone besides about 3 people understand how the FS position is played.

MonkFan4Life · 11-06-2008, 05:53 PM

I rarely post here but I find it wild how there are so many replaceable players on this team AFTER a loss. How the "preseason star" mentality comes out. No Landry doesn't have a reel of highlights but how many times do you see passes completed and he's there slapping his hands together in disgust ? Rocky has been playing well all year too. Yes he may be caught out of position but WHO ISN'T ? Seriously, this is real life. Not Madden where you can make Demetric Evans the greatest D-Lineman to ever play the game. Guys will make mistakes, but your D isn't rated in the top 10 because it's full of bums. All these players are working and if they weren't getting the job done then the D would be rated a bit lower wouldn't it? Oh yeah, Sean Taylor is gone, STOP comparing Laron to him PLEASE!

lol what a stupid thread.... teams go throw near landry bc they are scared. the man is doing his job. He is lurking in the back like sean use to do and when someone does test him it will be an int or someone is getting jacked up. I really dont understand where this thread is coming from. landry is pro bowl caliber

Those don't grow on trees. Taylor was a once a generation talent.

First off, Chris Horton doesn't play FS, and second, he is definitely no Sean Taylor. I love that Horton has solidified the SS position that seemed shaky with Reid Doughty, but that doesn't make him Sean Taylor's equal.

I have Rocky in fantasy and he was a top ten LB a year ago. His numbers have fallin off. If you notice hes not as balls to the wall as he was last year. I think hes watchin the game more then hes playin it.
