I agree but watch the guy tackle. He's fundamentally sound and he always gets the guy down. | |

| Re: Landry is now a bust! Agreed. I just hope people aren't saying in a yr or two that Orakpo needs to be cut cause he has not panned out at SLB. Landry was drafted to be the SS where he was in college. Due to ST's murder Landry was moved to FS cause he was the best we had at the time. At this point I would put him back at SS and move a CB maybe even smoot to FS. I know I'll get ripped for the Smoot comment but Smoot is getting old and can't keep up with the young guys running down the field, but if he had to sit down field and simply move to the side the ball is coming to he might not be too bad. Other wise find someone with some speed and tackling ability for FS. |

| Re: Landry is now a bust! landry is not a bust...yet, he needs one more year if he doesn't produce next year no matter if he is at fs or ss i will consider him a bust considering where we drafted him and who else was available, if we would have drafted him say 20th this conversation wouldn't be going on right now

Also for the record, I want Kareem Moore to get more playing time at FS, allowing Laron to play SS. | |

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 starting FS . He remained the starter at FS for the remaining 3 years (Soph, jr. and sr. years).

| Re: Landry is now a bust! the difference between ss and fs is not night and day it's not de to lb or lb to cb, being drafted that high he shold be a good enough talent to play either

There are some quarterbacks I've seen tackle better in the open field than this guy. As an aside, boy does this team makes me cranky. | |

He has not lived up to the FS position. If he's not late getting to help cover the WR, he's failing to use fundamental tackling. Again I will get blasted for saying he should be a SS when he has terrible tackling skills, but I think he does better at the line of scrimage where Doughty does well. We need someone who has the speed to get from sideline to sideline and plays to actually hit someone. | |

| Re: Landry is now a bust! There's actually some big differences between the safety spots. To think there's not is a little naive. I don't think it's that much of a stretch to say that playing out of position for Landry is hurting him and perhaps it's time to move him back and admit he's not cut out for FS. |

But, we don't we play mostly single deep FS with the SS in the box.(Cover 1 & Cover 3) In these defenses the FS role is sideline to sideline. That's why we play the FS so far back. Quote:
I agree 100% with your Smoot comparison when it comes to tackling. Landry takes too many bad angles then lunges himself at the ball carrier making no real attempt to wrap them up, almost like a lame body check. | ||

and like defensewins said this is his position he played it his whole college career like i said he isn't a bust... yet give him one more year, he was 6th overall, being that high in the draft by your 4th year you need to put up or shut up and side note if he crosses his arms after making a tackle that he should make, i would bench him, he misses way too many tackles, then he thinks he is the shit when he make a routine play, i don't think so
