Was Landry channeling Taylor tonight?

MTK · 12-07-2007, 12:10 AM

I swore I thought that was #21 out there a few times tonight with the way he was flying around. Yeah the penalty was dumb, but I still like that kill shot mentality.

That hit gave me the chills. It was kind of freaky how ST like it was. It was great seeing him as a force...striking a little bit of fear into some of those receivers.

He may get a nice fine for that hit....

It was worth it.

DGreene28 · 12-07-2007, 08:57 PM

He didn't catch the ball like Sean though... Could have had like 3 picks last night

Campbell17 · 12-08-2007, 02:16 PM

Nice to see that. Was he playing FS last night, he was back deeper than normal on like every play.

Redskin · 12-07-2007, 12:20 AM

I actually mentioned how ST like some of his plays were to my buddy

Hog's Breath · 12-07-2007, 12:27 AM

I totally agree. I mentioned this in the game thread. He was on a mission tonight.

WillH · 12-07-2007, 12:30 AM

Probably has more to do with the position change then anything wouldn't you think?

But yeah he looked pretty Tayloresque out there, especially that one hit, that is SO something Sean woulda done as a rookie.

JWsleep · 12-07-2007, 01:01 AM

Agreed. Good to see him laying the wood, even if it was a penalty.

twinskinsfan · 12-07-2007, 01:09 AM

It was a hit sent down from the Heavens. BOOM!!!!!!

ArtMonkDrillz · 12-07-2007, 01:10 AM

Just got back from the game and Im glad you guys noticed this too.
When he got flagged for that hit, which was ticky tack IMO, I actually turned to my buddy and commented how prior to that Sean Taylor was the only player I ever remember getting flagged for "hitting a defenseless receiver."
Taylor will never EVER be replaced but it'd be nice to think Landry can come close to being that good one of these days.

Sorry the flag was not "ticky tack" it was clearly a lat hit. Did you guys freeze out there last night? I was very surprised at the size of the crowed.

The hit will probably cost Landry some $$, but I didn't see too many passes over the middle after that so he made his point. Landry looked fluid and like GW said before, once he recognizes something he flies to the ball and makes plays. He can definitely bring the lumber.

The secondary played awesome last night, even on the TD that Springs gave up it took a perfect pass and a great catch to beat him, couldn't ask for much more from Springs.

twinskinsfan · 12-07-2007, 01:19 AM

This is a weird thing to say but it made me feel a little better to watch that reciever get his ass handed to him. Penalty, I didn't care, it brought a smile to my face.

Texanskin · 12-07-2007, 02:24 AM

I agree. I didnt mind Landry getting the late hit. But....he does need to work on his hands during the off season. but best believe that he saw how Sean Taylor worked in practice and will try to duplicate him as much as possible. I hope(even though he will never be fully replaced)
