Landry is probably the most important member of the defense, if you compare the performance of the unit without him to the performance of the unit with him. I think he flashes good coverage ability, but clearly the numbers say that he hasn't put it altogether yet.

Remember, that before teams figured out that you could double move the crap out of him, top QBs like Kurt Warner, Drew Brees, etc just wouldn't throw at him. Recently, I don't know if he's been on the field long enough to show that he's learned his lesson against these double moves, but he's been an impact player for us most of his career.

Is he an elite safety? Well, no. Regardless of what the tape says, elite safeties play more than 16 games in two seasons.
