Landry is now a bust!

Pocket$ $traight · 12-14-2009, 03:09 PM

The bottom line is that Landry is our best FS and SS. So how would getting rid of him help the team? We would trade him for what? 2nd round pick? Probably lower and then we would have to add safety to the list of needs.

How about we coach him up and let him play his natural position (SS) more often. Taylor was doing the same things in 2006 and he came back to be an All-Pro in 07.

Everyone seems to forget ST went through his share of struggles in year 3 before finally seeming to put it all together in year 4.

Landry has too much talent and potential to be looking to trade him. Yes he has his issues in coverage, but put the guy close to the line and let him body rock and he's one of the better strong safeties around.

Give Landry one more year. He played well yesterday...but they were using him differently.

Landry needs to Mature thats all

freddyg12 · 12-14-2009, 03:29 PM

I'm not as worried about his maturity as a player as his maturity as a person. Yesterday, he looked like he was blaming Doughty for not getting over on one of the slants to Mcfadden. He had a rep at LSU for being moody w/his teamates. His body language during games is bad, its not just the celebrating, he doesn't seem in tune w/the team.

Jerry Gray made a diplomatic comment about him to that effect last night.

I got to say it sucks to watch how great Darrell Revis is on the NY Jets. We picked up Laron Landry eight picks earlier -- I think Revis has been a *little* better...

Sure, hindsight is 20/20, but we already had a star safety at that time (he died later). In addition -- Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Marshawn Lynch -- all would have been nice.

bold is already a ProBowler..

well in landrys defense, he has been playing out of his natural position. hopefully with the new regime he will be moved and show good improvement.

Lynch is pretty much done and overrated to begin with. I think in his pro bowl season he averaged something like 3.9 yards per carry and his best season had a 4.0 ypc. Thats good but not the type of guy you send to the pro bowl.

Calvin Johnson has been a ProBowler already.

Landry is not a bust. He is a superb player that is playing out of position. I guarentee you that someone like GW would know how to use him. Man if we still had ST, our secondary would be special, but we don't so it is just good. A good safety is hard to come by so if you think that unloading a guy like LL is a good idea then you really need to rethink your football IQ. He may not be the best but he is far from bad.

I'd like to see him play under the helpful wings of Haslett.

I wonder if it's the same thing that many have reported on ST.. too much thinking and not enough playing
