I think his tackling has always been poor but in his rookie year he would hit anybody. I think it all changed when Jacobs ran over him last year. Seems like he's protecting himself.

Overall, Landry is a great free safey in the passing game, but his tackling has become pathetic. I do agree w/yall on that. Good thing is that he'll be embarassed by it.
Sorry but if you put ANYONE 30 yards off the ball at the snap then a WR shouldn't get behind him. That's a BS cop out. He's not a great safety in the passing game, Ed Reed, Darren Sharper, Troy Polumalu are great safeties in the passing game because they make plays. Landry is just out there.

He's playing out of position. Put him back at SS where he belongs. He cannot determine tackling angles from so far away and is out of control as he attacks the line of scrimmage. I've seen way too many times he's been spun around by a back making a simple cut that if he plays fast but under control he'd be able to make a play.

Simply put, he's been awful in all aspects in 2009.
