We Land bIG AL , Orakpo , Jarmon , Barnes ,,, and I believe Horton and Moore will have big years ,,,,,, I say Landry has 5 ints and 5-6 sacks , knocking the snot out of both Romo and Eli . Our young trio , Thomas , Kelly and Davis make some BIG plays for us , R EL looks good in the slot . We just need to have 0 inj's on the OLine and we have a shot at the NFC EAST TITLE !!!!!

I read this on "Inside The Redskins". It's in response to a question about Kareem Moore getting more playing time. "Defensive coaches want to move Landry around and give him more opportunities to make plays. They want to move him closer to the line of scrimmage so that he can blitz quarterbacks - or at least give the impression that he could blitz. This would give the Redskins more options and it would give offensive coordinators another look with which to prepare. Moore would come in on passing downs, with Landry moving from free to strong safety. He impressed coaches with his limited playing time last season and could be used in more packages in 2009."
I think you're making a good call on Landry in 2009. He may make his first Pro-Bowl. For those interested in seeing Landry play at SS more often, it looks like this may happen. Moore appears to be capable of handling FS and gives us more options on defense. Now it's up to Blache to take advantage of our personell. I would like to see us a step closer to Pittsburgh and the Giants defense in terms of pressure and turnovers. Hopefully we'll see that this year.
