UltimateSkins Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Now, if this was any other team in the league, I'd say opening day, however, the Redskins seem to have a tendancy to move their rookies along very slowly, especially when there is a veteran that has long ties with the coaches ahead of them. Even though he is coming off knee surgery, it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't see Landry as a starter until at least the 10th game of the season. I really don't want another Warrick Holdman type situation devoloping with Pierson Prioleau, but it seems that Gregg Williams has never really liked rookies very much, especially when up against a former Buffalo guy.

Santana Clause Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Gregg Williams is weird sometimes, but he isn't stupid. At least that stupid. I say no later than game 3, but I would probably guess game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he made the starting lineup soon as his name was announced on saturday. If not I, and I'm sure many others will be very disappointed.

Mr.Caish Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I beleive he will signifant time early in dime situations and that will just lead to full time. He will be the starter by week 5. Talent will prevail over a veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I hope he can start day one, but it will depend on how fast he learns to defense, and how well he plays in the preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefPowhatan17 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I am being hopeful thinking that any rookie can ever crack the starting line-up on the SKINS. But, I bet he earns it and gets it by the start of the season.:helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsair_joe Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 ST didn't start immediately either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfanatictrueandthrough Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I wish he could learn the defense by opening day, but I don't think it's possible. Gregg Williams' defensive scheme is very complicated, and while Landry may learn it on paper, he'll probably need a few weeks of watching actual games from the sidelines before he is ready. Week 4-6. Sometime in that range, he'll be on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatboy41 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I would love to see him day one... but I'd at least love to see him out there on game 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReefa Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I'm gonna say he becomes a full-time player right around the midway point. But we'll see plenty of him before that, as well, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramdizzle Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I'd like to see him on the field when he wont be lost and will make a positive impact. no point in putting a rookie out there if he isnt going to help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onnie007 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 No way they wait that long to put Landry on the field. ST and Rogers saw significant action their rookies years. I think ST started from day one and Rogers played in all 16 games (mostly as a nickel) and had 5 starts. Both were drafted in the top 10. I don't know if they will start Landry right away but I think he will see some sort of action against Miami. The preseason games are going to be pretty exciting this year.

DrunkenMaster Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 PP will start the first couple games but Landry will play in a bunch of packages from the first game on. He will be starting by game 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I think ST started from day one and Rogers played in all 16 games (mostly as a nicke) and had 5 starts. I believe that Taylor didn't crack the starting lineup until around week 4 or 5...he was never given that starting S role.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onnie007 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 PP will start the first couple games but Landry will play in a bunch of packages from the first game on. He will be starting by game 4. You're assuming PP will be as good as new coming off his knee injury. He's still in rehab and we a stud rookie that is ultra-competitive and trying outdo his brother's rookie campaign for the Ravens. He will study that playbook and may such a good second impression (the first impressionbeing at LSU when GW went to go see him in person) in the preseason that they will have no choice but to play the kid. You'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfbovey Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Through the sheer stubborness of the coaching staff, he won't the opener. But should be starting by game 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 It was with reluctance and against reason that I picked Opening Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 No rookie will ever start for GW in any opening game. Too bad there wasn't a choice for 2008, because that's my guess. This poor kid's head will be spinning from GW's playbook and he will be lost trying to decipher coverages and stay in the correct position. Maybe he'll have some decent Special Teams tackles if he's lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onnie007 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I believe that Taylor didn't crack the starting lineup until around week 4 or 5...he was never given that starting S role.... Actually we were both wrong. It was week 3: 2004: Taylor had a stellar rookie campaign. He started 13 games and recorded 89 tackles (62 solo) with four interceptions, one sack and two forced fumbles. Taylor made his first career start in Week 3 vs. Dallas. http://www.redskins.com/team/profile.jsp?id=1217 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grhqofb5 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 If we just used the 6th overall pick in the draft on a guy who can't/won't start on this pathetic defense from day 1, I'll be really, really pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins84 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hopefully they learned from waiting so long to start taylor. They should start him game 1, what is the point of waiting 2-3 weeks? NONE all it does is waste him, just like we did with taylor. Taylor had a great preseason his rookie year but we still didn't start him week 1. Hopefully we don't make that same mistake twice.

terpfan Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Luckily PP is much better than Warrick Holdman. I have a feeling Landry will start the week after our bye week. So closest to 4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
