Landry is put in position deep in the middle of the field. His range alone is a major deterrent to teams throwing downfield on us. You don't see him making a ton of huge plays because QBs don't give him the opportunity, they don't often throw deep. And because his range and speed are so incredible, that's exactly why the Redskins can move Horton all over the field and put him into position to make plays. Without Landry's speed, Horton would be forced into a much more conservative role.

It's not all about who gets the tackles and makes the plays, it's also about the plays the other team doesn't even try.

Good post.

Teams that have tried to go vertical on us have had success against Landry. But the teams that haven't tried outnumber the ones that have 2 to 1.
