Landry was going to be our sure starter for SS to pair him with the Meast for the next 10 years. Although Landry can run a 4.3 and thus cover sideline to sideline, his college position was SS.
I agree that I'd like to see Moore get a bit more playing time, and see Landry at SS, but then the dilemma is how to use Horton/Doughty
Don't start this again he was FS in college and his entire life except when he came here b/c ST21 was one of the best FS in the game the moved Landry to SS.

Won't make a bit of difference. If they want to make an impact, bring in Marko, Mason, Alridge, Jarmon and Wilson.

So the one guy making a significant impact from the 2008 draft is losing his starting job. Good job Vinny. 11 draft picks, no one making that big of a difference.

Rinehart and Kelly both have started on offense. Moore has been a starter on defense. Devin Thomas and Fred Davis have contributed, albeit not much.
Once again we see, on one side, people saying that the team should build through the draft. On the other side we see fans being too impatient with such a process, because developing young players takes time.

This isn't meant to be a comparison of the Patriots and Redskins front offices...but the Patriots had 9 picks in 2007, 1 is a starter, 1 is the equivalent of Byron Westbrook, and the rest are off the team.
In 2008 the Patriots had 7 picks, 1 starter, 3 backups, the rest off the team

Thank you for pointing this out. Landry was a FS at LSU.
Regarding the change to Doughty from Horton...this means very little. The defense is not going to suddenly become the Steel Curtain defense with this change. The problems to our defense is in its scheme and coaching.
On that note, last night on the NFL network, they were talking very highly about Greg Williams and his defenses. How much respect he has around the league. Rod Woodson loves Gregg Williams.

It doesn't have to if you draft well and you a good core of players already on the team that will play around a rookie.

Eff yeah! You didn't know?
He is a good player on defense and special teams. There's nothing special to him. He just gives all that he has. That's a lot more than I can say for some of our players.
