I kiss nobody's tail. Matty's quote was:

Which indicated to me that he was not blaming LL at this point, which I agree with and with which my statement was entirely consistent.

I should have clarified that I was speaking of the passing D - but, yes, as to that, I think that having one true cover corner would radically improve the rest of our pass defense. Right now, in our pass D, we can't take any one receiver - whether it be a WR, RB or TE - out of the game by assigning a single person to cover them. This isn't applicable to just the league's top receivers, I would suggest it is applicable to every team's top receiver. In light of that, Landry, whose coverage is based on athleticism and closing speed as opposed to anticipation and ball awareness, is forced into playing away from his strengths.
