Landry is now a bust!

Reed will never have Laron's talent, but he does a couple things much better:

1. He does his job - that is, he plays his assignment
2. He makes sure tackles instead of going for the blow-up hit

I said it earlier, and I'll say it again - until Steve Jackson and other defensive coaches stop tolerating Landry's immaturity and total lack of discipline, he will continue to be a liability. I see a double standard here. Carlos Rogers gets beat on a double move, and he's pulled for the rest of the game. Not Landry. Amazing that one player is held accountable and the other is not. It sends an inconsistent message.
