Re: Laron Landry - Redskin for life?
 

[quote=REDSKINS4ever;890197]If he doesn't come back to Washington, I wouldn't be surprised. From 2007 until now, I really wasn't impressed with him at all. If Vinny Cerratto was smart, he would have traded Landry for Ryan Clark. That way, we would have had a real strong safety in the defensive backfield like we did when Clark and Sean Taylor were the sheriff and the deputy.[/quote]

The blame should be on Gregg Williams, he was the one who believed that he could find someone better than Clark, which was when he signed Archuleta (sp?). Although I think it is worth noting the fact that Landry seemed to play well with Taylor on his side, until Taylor passed away and then Landry obviously felt the pressure to play as well as Taylor did.

Re: Fletchers replacement is Landry?
 

[quote=The Dull Roar;889448]I don't think LaRon is anywhere close to being bright enough to be a competent replacement of all the London does for this team. Sure, he's built like a monster truck, but that doesn't necessarily translate to him being able to take over that role.[/quote]

Apparently I missed this earlier. Welcome to the boards!

Re: Laron Landry - Redskin for life?
 

[quote=REDSKINS4ever;890197]LaRon Landry without a doubt is only going to run slower. While he can still line up in the box like an extra linebacker, I'm not sure that this Dorian Yates muscularity of his will do him any good on the football field. His injury will not heal. Maybe it will, but sometimes surgery is the best option and he decided to go with what he went through with last off season and it did him or the injury no good.

:laughing-

If Vinny Cerrato was smart, he'd have never let Ryan Clark leave in the first place. I also tend to agree with others that ST's death put more pressure on Landry to be who he never was.

Re: Laron Landry - Redskin for life?
 

» One position that could be plenty deep in free agency, but not so much in the draft, is safety. If you need one, March -- not April -- is the time to snag him. Few of the college safeties project to make a quick impact, but several teams face difficult decisions at the position. The Raiders want to keep Tyvon Branch and are making an effort to re-sign him. But Oakland is having a hard time getting under the cap and is trying to figure out if safety Michael Huff, with a $4 million roster bonus due, will be back as well. The 49ers could franchise Dashon Goldson (if they don't, he'd be in demand), and [B]if LaRon Landry is not franchised by Washington, sources said it's highly unlikely he would re-sign with the team. [/B]Michael Griffin has been up-and-down with the Titans, but he has potential. And with so many defenders to address, can Atlanta keep Thomas DeCoud?

By the way I still remember how high Peter King was on Laron coming out and remember this article. Look at this. He missed on a LOT of guys.

Given how difficult it is to predict things in the NFL, I say he did a pretty good job.

Re: Laron Landry - Redskin for life?
 

With F.D. getting the franchise tag, Landry can leave. So long after five seasons of nothing.

Re: Laron Landry - Redskin for life?
 

Sounds like he's on his way to Jacksonville (brother is there) unless the Redskins offer more, which doesn't seem likely.

no he's not.

The Jags have FS Dwight Lowery who they love and can cover and they have Dawan Landry at SS who is solid. Laron won't go to a place where he could take away his brothers job.

There's no way Laron could beat his bro out anyway. The thing is he won't land anywhere in "strategic" fashion, it'll simply be whoever takes a chance on him. I suggested weeks ago Landry shouldn't be re-signed for more than vet min.

...if I'm wrong it won't be by much.

Re: Laron Landry - Redskin for life?
 

LaRon could end up in New England, Kansas City, Miami, Minnesota, Cincy, Baltimore is a dark horse.

Re: Laron Landry - Redskin for life?
 

495 to 695 why not

I wouldn't rule out Landry in Dallas

would you rule him out here for sure? i feel like he is going to go somewhere and do great things if we let him walk.

I think the chances of him coming back are quite small. I mean he's not a priority at all. He'll likely get some lowball offer from us
