I get it to a point, but some of the (over)reactions are a bit over the top.
I think a lot of his reactions are over the top. He could do a quick celebration like Fletcher or one of the d-linemen. Instead yesterday he's turned around waving to the crowd for what seemed like 10-15 seconds, after that 2nd and 10 he stopped after 7 yards he's clapping for the same amount of time, etc.

Get your head in the game, continue to make plays, and save your extended celebrations for the sideline or locker room. Someone must've said something to him because after that (or maybe the TDs) he stopped showboating so much.

I was talking about people's reactions here regarding LL.

Yeah the showboating is annoying I guess, but it's not a huge deal overall. I'm more concerned with him biting on double moves or not wrapping up on a tackle. If he wants to celebrate after a play I honestly don't have a huge problem with it. Plenty of guys do it. Devin Thomas gets pretty jacked after a play but I haven't heard anyone attacking him.

Yeah I followed that.

I don't mind if he showboats if he blows a play up. I've seen him come into a tackle when the guy was already being pulled down from a LB and talk smack to the guy as he's still laying there for several seconds, even if it's a 6 yard run. That I definitely mind. He comes and knocks Brees on his ass like he did, don't mind it one bit.

Thomas gets jacked but he's a bit more classy about it, he's not in the CB's face after the play.

yea I actually enjoy him showing his emotions, reminds me alot of #21. The fact is he was drafted as a STRONG safety and he is a beast if they let him play his natural position but he is forced to play the FS because well we have no one else. Same situation as the Orakpo experiment @ LB. I don't understand why so many people are bitching

Re: Accountability

I don't know if this has been said in the multiple threads about Landry the last couple weeks, but unfortunately Landry is starting to look more and more like former cowboy Roy Williams. I think Williams was more consistent with wrapping up on a tackle instead of going for the knock out hit every single tackle attempt, but they both slowly were found out to be liability's on big pass plays more often than not. We truly need to look at finding a true free safety and switching Landry to his natural role of strong safety next year or otherwise this weakness in the secondary will continue to be exploited.
