Re: Laron Landry = Lavar?
Landry has not met his ceiling and certainly a large part of that is his own fault. He needs to do a lot of work to be more disciplined, take better angles, and be better in coverage. He has the physical tools but he needs to start using them better.
That said, it is easy to find safeties who are worse than LL but hard to find safeties who are better than LL. Until we have something better, we need to hang onto him. And for those arguing that Doughty is better than LL - please pass what you are smoking! Don't bogart that kind bud!

Reed Doughty is a great guy and certainly gives it his all. I love the guy. Unfortunately, his "all" is about 75% of LL's "Just barely trying". RD is simply LL with out LL's speed. RD has zero ball skills, his anticipation is about the same as LL and he simply doesn't have the speed to make up ground like LL does. He may have better technique at times but, if you are suggesting that RD should start ahead of LL - well, that's just crazy talk. LL has his faults, but LL and his warts are better than RD at the top of his game. RD, great guy that he is, is a back up on this or any other team.

Laron is a much better tackler. Ba ha ha Or, what NFL safety runs at the ball carrier as fast as they can and then flies completely over top of them without touching them? But seriously it would be nice to see him make some tackles. Last edited by Sonny9TD; 11-02-2011 at 02:42 PM. |

Re: Laron Landry = Lavar?
I wonder what our situation would be right now had we gone with Bruce Allen's preferred choice and taken Eric Berry instead of Trent Williams

Re: Laron Landry = Lavar?
LaRon is a LB who's fast, just like Polamalu. He's good and worth investing in.

Re: Laron Landry = Lavar?
Funny how losing makes some folks hate players smh.. I don't like how he talks trash but he's a top 10 safety in the NFL that would start on any team in the league

Re: Laron Landry = Lavar?
Landry is like David Boston.
Take his shirt off and he's top 10. Leave it on and he's a big name without big stats.

I have a client who refers to strong safeties as tight safeties because they often have to cover the tight end. I will have to go and wash my hands to get that terminology out of them for the next time I type out a posting. :confused:
