Da_Truth Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 This guy is a complete safety and is making is mark as someone to respect. For those of you guys who didnt see the game last night, it will come on at 2pm. Record it. Notice in the 1st qrt with 9:10 seconds on the clock, Steelers do a toss pass to the left, Landry comes in and take the FB out and Carlos makes the tackle. Landry then gets up and mouths off at the FB as to say, " dont come at me like that", then walked away as the FB was steadly looking at him for a good 10 secs as to say, " who does this guy think he is?" It was hilarious. Then the very next play after that, Landry was matched up with Santonio Holmes one on one, so Ben took his oppurtunity to throw it to Holmes deep, Landry was all over Holmes step for step and had that play on lock. Just some plays I named for you guys to look for when you see the game replay ( 2pm EST on NFL Network) If this defense stays healthy, this may very well surpass the defense back in 04' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 That is the exact play I wanted pointed out Landry, by taking on the block and filling any hole made the play. The rest of the D came in and forced the loss Absolutely correct, the kid is a complete safety, and plays the run very well. I was impressed by his play last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Wu Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 We've never had two tools like ST and LL at safety -- I don't think any team ever has. Gregg Williams must giggle himself to sleep every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejaydana Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 thanks for the heads up on that, they didn't broadcast the game in California last night so I'm all about watching the replay. Power of Positive Thinking: no major injury to Campbell and speedy recovery for Marcus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Landry looked amazing. Its not just that he's physically talented and game smart, but he has a huge passion. He plays with a lot of anger. He didn't just take on that block, he took that FB out. He puts a lot of adrenaline into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 An excellent compliment, (so far), to Sean back there I think. Now he will still probably give us a few :doh: rookie moments, but right now, he's looking like the real deal out there and this is a very good thing, (Well. For the Skins anyway. Other offenses on the other hand.....). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isle-hawg Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Landry had a great game, I was skeptical that he would start opening day due to GW's knack for holding out Rookies. Landry is not playing like a rookie, as others have said if the D can get Marcus back quickly then stay healthy the sky is the limit for this D.

StillUnknown Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Landry had a great game, I was skeptical that he would start opening day due to GW's knack for holding out Rookies. Landry is not playing like a rookie, as others have said if the D can get Marcus back quickly then stay healthy the sky is the limit for this D. thats something i noticed as well. albeit the real games haven't started yet, landry looks as though he's been in the league for a couple of years. i expect him to have some pains as rookie, but i also feel like there is almost zero chance that this guy won't be a great player for years to come.

RonArtest15 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 He also got in Hines Ward's face last night as well.....dude is a presence plain and simple...I hope this defensive intensity can carry over to the regular season....we just seem like a more cohesive unit on the defensive side of the ball, and the scary thing is GW didn't show us too much of what he usually has gameplanned for the regular season, if anything at all....9/9 can't come soon enough!

willmb5 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Landry took out the lead blocker on a few plays last night, setting up other defenders to make the play on the ball carrier. It reminded me of the Sean Taylor highlight from 2 years ago when he clocks Larenzo Neal (one of the best fullbacks in the league) and then somehow stripped Ladanian Tomlinson of the ball. Landry and Taylor give this defense so much versatility in the secondary, and our LB's have looked phenomenal in the first 2 preseason games. This D is going to be damn good again this year.

CakeMan 89 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 he's the highest paid safety in the NFL i sure as hell hope he does good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinklein Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I love how he's just come in an embraced the starting role. He acts like he belongs on the field with the first team defense, and he hits and covers like it too. Between him and the emergence of Rocky, we're starting to get a nice little core of homegrown players. Well...2 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUCS_FAN6263 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Living here in Pitt I watched the Game when the Bucs were over on the Sirius and who REALLY impressed me was H.B. Blades out of Pitt. He was near the ball almost every play. Oh and Gaines Adams forced a fumble and got a sack...just saying :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 With healthy corners who can cover, it was a great idea to get a run stuffing safety. Glad we thought of it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between him and the emergence of Rocky, we're starting to get a nice little core of homegrown players. Well...2 anyway. 2 players homegrown? what? Didn't Gibbs draft (not in any particular order) 1. S.T. 2. Landry 3. Rogers 4. Golston 5. Montgomery 6. H B Blades 7. Rocky Thats just the defensive side of our draft w/ Gibbs. All the guys listed seem that they will have a nice future w/ the Skins. I think alot of fans fail to realize what kind of talent Gibbs has actually brought VIA draft, trade, FA, etc. He seems to have a good mix of FAs, draft picks, and vets so when we start winning very soon and all the pessimist that doubted our Defense and Gibbs please be a man and admit you were the "ugly fan" and we all know God don't like ugly.
