I think Haslett addressed this last year though. For 2 years we saw Landry playing that Halo spot because Blache thought he could cover more ground than any player on the team but Landry is prone to bad angles, solution: play him close to the LOS. He did this last year and when healthy he played besutifully. I think having him gain weight was a mistake. He remarked last year that he would like to get up to 240 lbs which is just too big to play in the secondary if your name isn't Taylor Mays. He did prove that when he is close to the LOS he can make plays everywhere. I also liked the fact that they incorporated him into some very effective blitz packages. Bottom line is this guy can play in the right position. Atogwe is better suited to be the Halo safety that never lets anything behind him and makes plays on the ball. Haslett has experience with him and I think the Redskins made a nice move signing him. Kareem Moore for all his effort was just not capable of playing at the FS spot, he looked overwhelmed at times and had instances where he seemed confused as to where he should be in coverage. It hink Haslett is trying to model thsi defense after the one in Pittsburgh, Landry is our Pamalu and Atogwe is a better version of Ryan Clarke.
