I wasn't talking about you, but yeah I'd say he's better than middle of the pack.

here is a quick list i just came up with of better safeties out there right now in no real order

darren sharper
jarius byrd
troy polamalu
brain dawkins
antoine bethea
ed reed
oshiomogho atogwe
yeremiah bell
eric weddell
louis delmas
jordan babineaux
dawan landry
nick collins
gibril wilson
bradon merriwether
roman harper
tyvon branch
ryan clark

i went by passes defended, int's, and tackles

I would say that list is very subjective.

Seriously, there are 2 sets of teammates on that list. In addition, Darren Sharper may get a lot of picks and find the end zone, but he gets beat about as often as Landry.

I remember before the Saints-Eagles game he said, "They'll try to run the post on Kolb's first play and we'll be ready for it." Then, I'm watching Red Zone and sure enough the first play is the post and guess who's chasing the play down because he bit on a double move? None other than Darren Sharper, who said they wouldn't be fooled.

he is a middle of the pack saftey in the nfl right now, being selected in the top ten he should be better.

if he had been selected in the second round or even in the high 20's this wouldn't even be a question right now

I think you have a different perception of what a "bust" means compared to what I think a "bust" means. His play may be disappointing at times, but I don't consider him being a bust right now.

A "bust" to me is a player that is basically worthless or a detriment to the team; a player that could be cut and you wouldn't notice a difference (or going the other way, noticing the team is playing better).

Is he a bust or not? Who gives a damn? I'd like to bust him in the chops when he gives up 14 points!

The main problem with Landry, which I'm sure has been said many times now is he doesn't play his natural position.

If Blache would stop trying to reinvent the wheel with our players on defense, they might be a lot better.

Playing Jason Taylor on the opposite side of where he's played for 11 years
Orakpo at LB when we all know he's a true DE
Landry as FS when he's a SS

we obviously do, i just think the pick was a bust, like i said if he was picked in the upper 20's this thread wouldn't exist

People need to get off Landry's balls...he's a baller for sure though there is room for improvement. Ryan Clark is better than him? GTFOOH.

Landry has the mental capacity of a gerbil.

The fact that he showboats so much is the icing on the cake.

He can't be allowed to actually diagnose an NFL play.

Put him at SS and let him just attack.

Ruhskins · 12-09-2009, 07:20 PM

So any chance we can take a CB and convert him to a FS (kinda like what we wanted to do with Springs last year)?

Case closed. His daddy told everbody he has been crazy and hard headed since day 1. Let him be LL.
