Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

I don't consider Landry a bust, because he isn't playing his original position. When he's in his form at SS, he is a beast. He excellerates on run defense, and chases down fast running backs. But were putting him in a situation he is not used to, which is to cover deep. His inexperience at the position has obviously been exposed. He repeatedly bites on the double move, and then gets burned for a big play.

[quote=Defensewins;623082]You always incorrectly say he was a SS at LSU. That is wrong.
According to LSU web sight (link below) and his college Bio LaRon Landry was a FS in college at LSU.
In his freshmen year he had 10 starts, his first career LSU start at CB. Then his second career start was at SS. Then for the final 8 games of his freshmen year he was [B]starting FS[/B] . [B]He remained the starter at FS for the remaining 3 years (Soph, jr. and sr. years). [/B]

i felt the need to bump this post since everyone still says he isn't playing his true position

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

The point is his skills are better suited for the SS spot. He's too undisciplined at FS and every OC in the league knows it.

you said right there, and that falls back on the coaching not being tough enough. you think dick lebeau would let him get away with this, doubtful, they can take retreads like ryan clark and make them probowl caliber

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

No matter what he played in college, he was drafted to play SS.

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

news: Landry recorded 12 solo tackles, three passes defensed and a sack in Week 12.

And got toasted when it mattered, acted like a moron every time he made a play. He needs to grow up and realize his team is 3 and 9 before he mugs for the cameras and waves to the crowd like he's Ms. America.

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

I love it when a guy celebrates after every tackle, regardless of the yardage. He was ridiculous with his celebrating yesterday. Waving to the crowd for breaking up a pass in the end zone. Smacking his fists together for tackling a guy after he gained 7 yards on a run. Dude's ego is way to huge and he has a lot of growing to do. I would in a heartbeat trade him for his brother, Dawan Landry in a heartbeat though!

[quote=SFREDSKIN;635816]Landry is a moron and I'm sick of his antics every time he makes a play, he thinks it's all about him and his look at me attitude which has worn out his welcome. I hope they trade his ass in the off season, we don't need players like that.[/quote]

what pisses me off about this tool is everytime he makes a ROUTINE play he gets up and showboats. i seriously can't stand this guy anymore. i agree, i'd send his ass packing. his poor play has nothing to do with being out of position. it's about trying to be a hot dog and blowing guys up instead of playing smart football. you can't win with guys like landry.

who cares??? it's still no excuse for letting a guy get behind you during that time of the game. he needs to be sat down. get kareem moore in there.

Did you see that nonsense???? Unfuckingbelievable!!!!!!!!!! Here we are 3-9, he's missed numerous tackles, given up numerous big plays and this asshole is waving to the crowd. I can't believe one of the coaches hasn't gotten in his face and told him to STFU and play ball. Where is the ass kicker on the staff to discipline this guy???

Oh I agree. I disagree with those who say he played FS in college so he's not playing out of position. He was drafted to play SS and that's where he should be no matter where he played in college.

very interesting article, looks like it came right off the warpath

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

I don't thinking picking up a FS through the draft would be a bad idea...in really simplistic terms, by putting Landry at SS and getting a decent FS, you are taking away one touchdown a game the opposition scores because of a coverage mistake from Landry

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

How about just coaching up LL? It would not cost us anything. We would not have to spend a valuable draft pick. We already have two very good SS on our roster (Horton and Doughty). Three is over kill.
