Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

[quote=Gtothearry;832223]If that is the case then im all for it. However, I feel like it's going to be a long season for Laron but I definitely hope I am wrong.[/quote]

People have their best years when they concentrate - LL is already off on the wrong foot. Hope he can turn this around....we could use him.

I certainly did not get the pervasive "man-love" for LL early on. He was a slouch who just happened to be a first round pick and had big biceps. He got more passes for shoddy play than anyone on our roster.

Despite the fact that I don't like LL personally, I really feel that he showed up last year and started taking the game seriously. He was indeed a "beast."

This is a contract year, so I expect great things out of him again, I also expect him to get fat and lazy after he signs. For this reason, I kind of hope he ends up signing somewhere else.

I don't hate the man, I'm just not a big fan. I get tired of his shtick.

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

I have mixed feelings about Landry; obviously he's a beast on the field but doesn't play smart in coverage at times. He is an impact player but he's always running his mouth & taunting, and that seems to backfire more than help.

On one hand I would like to see him mature & be as great as he can be as a redskin. On the other, if his attitude is a problem (and that appears so at times), his hammy is too & he's not a Shanny guy, I wouldn't be too upset if we got a great return on a trade of him. I don't want to blow this out of proportion but given this latest twitter incident & his contract year, Allen et al will likely be listening to offers.

^^^^^I really wish he could get it together, he hasn't done anything so bad that the coaches or the fans couldn't get over it. He just needs to mature a little....well, a lot.

We drafted 4 safeties between 2006-2008 (Doughty, Landry, Moore, Horton) plus we had Sean Taylor until late 2007...it's crazy to think that Doughty is the only one of the five active for opening day 2011.

Look at all the QB's we went through in the last 10 years. It's par for the course when you change coaches like you're changing your oil.

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

I would rather see him sit out for a bunch of games than try to play on it too early and screw it up for the rest of the year or his career. I am not that familiar with Achilles injuries but I am sure it can be just as bad as screwing up your knee.

Way too late to place him on the PUP list right?

Yeah, it's not about the changes so much as that Reed is the one standing

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

Landry doesn't owe anything to his fans or team but to get healthy. The team should have sufficient depth to account for injuries. Dude was just frustrated by not recovering well. he wants to play. He wants to be a star.

theres a chance in hell but atleast its a chance. I know ill be praying for LaRon to be lacing up, hes my favorite player even though a bunch of you are not a fan

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

Knocking landry for talking shit and getting hyped about the game is just stupid.... almost every player does it u see those sound fx shows and wat not... its an intense grown ass mans game.. Landry has made more plays for us thru the years than not, I'm sick of hearing ppl hate the player and not the game.

There's a bit more to it IMO. Yeah, lots of guys talk, but when you talk trash before the game then get burnt on the opening play like he did in the philly game, it brings a lot of negative attention to you.

Landry's issue isn't the talking, that may just be a symptom, his issues are being a good all around safety, not just making the big hit & letting everyone know. I think he's shown what he's capable of yet hasn't put it all together yet. I agree though, he makes more plays than not.

Does LL spitting twice on a player and starting a fight with him bother you in the least, or does LL get a pass yet again for having muscles? What about scheduling vacations during the season, or running his mouth on twitter?

I don't think that people on here so much hate the man, as want him to act better.

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

Isn't ironic? Don't ya think? It's like rain-eee-ainnnn on a wedding day....

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

The biggest thing about the spitting allegation ...... is the latter word

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

And I don't think he ever got over, subconsciously, losing ST.. they got pretty close and after he was gone all LL wanted to do was play like he did... its effected the guy
