LaRon Landry’s fortunes will be telling for the Redskins - The Washington Post

Hell no.

we need to re-sign him. if we dont, it just opens up another huge hole in this team.

Alvin Walton · 11-24-2011, 04:12 PM

Landry is a bag of upper body muscle.

But he is hot a high caliber safety.
I'm not even sure if he is a medium caliber safety.

He's an athlete but hes not a smart one.

He's not a game changer.

He doesn't make big plays.

He's injury prone.

If his contract is up let him go we can do better.

definitely disagree. he was awesome last season before he got injured for the season. this year he is playing injured and he has been so so, but he still has the potential to be a game changer just like he was last season. we need to bring him back.

You sure got that right. Good trade bait though for a OL stud.

Can't trade a guy that's not under contract.

Always with the details... Why can't you just let folks have their fantasies run wild?

By the way, if you agree that Landry has all those faults, why would ANY team trade an"OL stud" to get him? Did Vinny C. get a GM job somewhere?

I believe he is under contract with the Redskins as we speak.

Right on. Some folk can't get over that physique though and it blinds their evaluation.

Sounds kinda weird but I think you're exactly right on this. Sort of a head-scratcher to me in the context of football but people really do get fixated on looks lol

The only part of that I agree with is that he's injury prone. When he's healthy, he is most def a game changer. I can think of 3-4 games off the top of my head that I don't think we win if he's not playing.

The hole is already there. Landry plays better as a SS vs. a FS. Honestly Doughty plays just as good SS as Landry does. Both make the same mistakes on occasion. But our problem is the team has used Doughty as SS and Landry as FS. Landry can't cover anyone as a FS.

In other words the hole is already there. This team needs to draft a FS cause Atogwe is not any better. Now if the coaching staff feels Atogwe will work out but needs more time to digest the scheme as all the other players did in their first year then I'll be ok with them keeping him, but for me not only does he seem lost in this scheme but he does not hit very hard. We need a big FS hitter, one that can run sideline to sideline breaking up passes and helping out the CB.

I agree. Considering the fact that LL #30 hasn't played much at all in the past two seasons, the hole is already been there. I would rather have someone who is at least consistent and not injury prone, rather than someone who only plays for a few games out of the season. Hate to say it, but I'm starting to feel the same way about Chris Cooley as well.

I think they'll resign him if he gets back to 100%.
