I don't know if Landry's cover skills are on par with Troy's. I know Troy's an in the box safety but at the same time he does get a lot of picks, and at this point the Steelers rarely worry about putting him in deep zone coverage. Right now I think Landry is a better athlete thats on par with Polamalu's in the box play however the main difference between the two is the coverage and the ability to read offenses.
A slightly better comparison for Landry might be the player the Cowboys expected Roy Williams (the Safety) to become (not the guy they actually got). However I know that somewhere inside Landry is the ability to play deep zone coverage. We saw it back in 2007 when he replaced Taylor at FS, however since then it's regressed a lot. Maybe playing in this new scheme will help Landry regain his confidence and soon enough he'll be making picks.
