Re: Meriweather vs Landry
Hes an idiot for storming the field, but it was an all out brawl, what would you have done? Id like to think I just watched, but odds are most people would have helped their teammates out. And yes, he shot someone in self defense. No charges or anything, everythign was legit, but still, he shot a guy. Both pose concerns in the "new nfl" that is being imposed.
With that being said, the guy can ball. Great instints, and thats what you need in a safety. He can cover, better than Landry. Landry isnt much different than Archuleta was. Hes athletic, a hard hitter, and if played in the box will stop the run every time. But the Redskins do not need that. If we did, than AA woudl have succeeded here, and AA will be a good player for the bears. Meriwhether gives you a safety that can play in coverage and we need htat.
You dont take Meriwhether at 6. and if you are the skins, you dont take landry at 6. Hes got talent, but wouldnt be any good on thsi team.
I dotn care that hes from the U, Ive just seen a ton of game footage on him. Hes one of the last Canes that I have a high opion of, on the football field. Coker was a shitty recruiter. (there is a guy at the U now, Kenny Phillips, thats supposed to be Ed Reed in taylors body...but we'll see).
So did I anwser your question? Landry might be a better safety, but he would be worse for teh skins.
