Laron probably has the speed to match Moss, but he was a step or two behind cuz he didn't pick up on the go route.

I can't argue w/ Moss' talent level or the fact that very few guys can cover him, just saying on that particular play the TD wasn't inevitable by any means. Moss never got jammed at the line (nothing to do w/ Laron) and then our FS didn't pick-up the route.

Laron to me is always a step behind the play.

I almost think this topic is worth it's own thread. Laron has yet to live up to his 7th overall status in the draft. He's just not a dominant FS.

For those who may wish to muddy this fact w/ the fallacious claim Landry is playing out of position: don't say it. He was a FS for the most part at LSU. He played a center field type roll and opposing offenses rarely passed deep on his squad. We basically drafted him to play out of position opposite Sean.

Anyway, I'm starting to lose my patience w/ him. I think I see a lack of intensity there...curious to hear what others see.

Yeah, the success of the defensive scheme requires Landry to make all the downfield plays. I don't think he's around the ball quite well enough for the scheme to be successful yet. When he does get there, Landry has been great, but he's just not enough of a factor yet. Landry needs to be everywhere, not just between the hashes.

Sean Taylor was still hitting his peak when he passed, so I think it's a bit premature to be too down on LL. This is year 3 for him, let's give him this season and we'll see where he's at.

Yeah. As it turned out, 1) Ryan Clark was actually a really great player, not just a scheme fit, and 2) the third year ended up not being all that pivotal for ST. He didn't improve from the second to third year, but in his fourth season, vaulted to the top of the league at his position.

Hopefully, Landry can develop faster than Sean did, but I don't think we can write him off as a bust if he doesn't.
