I think he's a role player, like Smoot. I credit his "improvement" this year to LL/ST more than to any actual increased ability on his part. Rogers still looks lost half the time when the ball comes his way.

Still, though, with LL/ST/Springs back there, it's OK to have a role player on the #2 receiver most of the time.

Re: How is LaRon Landry progressing?

I think by the fact that you don't hear the names of Landry and Springs, they are doing a great job. I was thinking about this the other day during the game. You almost wouldn't know that Springs or Landry are playing (and that's a good thing). Teams are throwing to Rogers side, which Rogers has played very strong too. It shows how much our defense has improved over last year.

Re: How is LaRon Landry progressing?

Great thread.

I think the fact that he doesn't really have much to brag with respect to stats is a great sign of the success of this defense. Our d-line and linebackers are doing there job, and making tackles. ST and the corners are doing there jobs, so they have INT's.

Re: How is LaRon Landry progressing?

He's made some plays, but the most important part is he's not getting burned and he's not a liability. You would hardly know there's a rookie safety out there, I think that says it all.

Re: How is LaRon Landry progressing?

Without looking it up, which I should do, I think the Skins have the #1 Defense in the NFC. I'd say Landry is contributing his share to that stat. Definitely not a liability. In fact, I'd say just about every defensive starter is earning their spot this season.

Well... you hardly even knew that THE ADE was out there either. Big Deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, LaRon is playing decent enough, but for the amount of money we have sunk in our safeties, I expect a better ROI. I want INT's run back for TD's. I want TE's and WR's knocked out of games. I want sacks in bunches. I want them to cook me breakfast. You get the idea. Guess my expectations are a little higher than most considering we spent our precious draft picks on safeties. I know they won't let me down.

On the other hand - I totally agree that London Fletcher has been key to our improved defense. I didn't even realize that Marcus Washington wasn't in the game last week - until it was over. WOW!

What are you talking about our D is ranked 3rd in the NFL and has heald team to very few points I think we are getting what we paid for. Last year ST aways went for the knock out blw and got burnd doing so. I'll take the knocked down pass and Int's over the knock out hits any day. Yes I would love to see the knock out plays but not if it means giving up the big plays when trying to do so.

What RU talking about?

Rocky and the secondary and the line next are the keys to our D so far. Fletcher is a madman too though. Hes tough.

I think it's obvious to everyone that the defense is suffering without THE ADE.

I say we trade next years 1st round pick to get him back ASAP!

Five minutes after rofl, I finally managed to get back to the screen! Great line Quake! Sometimes I think AJFC is all about the ADE, and not about the present D with LL, Smoot, ST, Rogers, LF, and RM.

I honestly don't care our defense is playing great. If ain't broke, don't fix it. And last time I checked it isn't broke.

Re: How is LaRon Landry progressing?

I think teams will start challenging LL more since ST is having the best year of his career. We will know more about LL in a couple of weeks.

One thing is for sure, He can hit!
