Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

Can someone teach LL the fundamentals of tackling?? I swear if I see him bounce off a guy one more time trying for the knockout shot...

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

not only did he bounce off, he got knocked to the ground whereas Jason Avante just shrugged it off. WTF Landry

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

I'm so done with this non tackling showboating loser.

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

Maybe they should put together a "lowlight" film of him bouncing off people and show it to him so he can see how ridiculous he looks.

Obviously, nobody has threatened his playing time. I am so done with Landry taking crappy angles, then the few times that he's is in position to make a play, he leaves his feet, and glances off the ball carrier, who gains 20 more yards after Landry's whiff. This guy has become a joke as a safety drafted in the Top Ten overall.

Ahhh Yeah. . . . Now someone finally gets to the heart of the matter.

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

If I were the coach of the defense Landry wouldn't even be starting. He's such a disappointment, as everyone else has said. Maybe we can trade and get an offensive lineman for Landry.

That seems to be a team-wide problem.

I hope our next coach is a hard-butt who says that each player must earn their role and means it.

Although, I think us fans seriously underrate his contribution to this defense because he's only on the T.V. feed when he's screwing up. Back in the first half of the season when Landry played 30 yards off the LOS, he was a sideline to sideline threat, who could be manipulated by the eyes of the quarterback, but had to be accounted for on every deep pass. His impact on the game never showed up on tape when that was the case.

What Landry needs is a complementary safety who is the complete package, knows how to play zone coverage (unlike Doughty, who can only play man), and can play the free safety in certain packages.

Someone like unrestricted free-agent-to-be...Ryan Clark. (Or Darren Sharper, if Grilliams lets him walk for big bucks)

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

Landry is so far down the list of concerns it is comical. He played like an all pro in the Dallas game.

I know he is inconsistent but the gap between him and all of the other safeties on our team is bigger than Strahan's teeth.

Need I remind everyone that he is a key component to one of the top secondaries in football.

gtripp, let me start by saying i really value your opinion. your knowledge is first rate, and usually spot on. but your pure hatred for Hall is starting to cloud your opinions. let it go. we get it, already. if you were calling the shots for the skins, Hall wouldn't be here. but enough already

This is a good point too. Hall is our best corner now. Rogers has regressed and Hall's play has improved.

Hall is not anywhere close to the top of our problems, either.

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

regardless of his cover abilities, he MAKES PLAYS. isn't this what the league is all about?

I love how people want to dismantle the one part of our team that we excel at.
