TCO Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 That he was playing as 3rd or 4th linebacker alot? He seemed to be helping with the run game alot. And I didn't really remember them using him like that in preaseaon... maybe it was just me. What do you think his role is going to be on this defense? I'm kind of concerned with Smoot and Rogers getting picked on like they did today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEavyJumbo85 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 It's just you, Landry was in the box a lot during the preseason and he will be a lot this year. They move him all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampSkinsFanatic Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Either the safeties played extremely well or nothing happened around them, I didnt hear their names all day. The only one getting picked on was Rogers, I don't even know where to start with that guy. Smoot is gonna prove you guys wrong to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 If Smoot and Rogers get burned in upcoming games I would expect Landry to get put into coverage more, but we used him like we did in the preseason from what I saw. We are playing a Cover 3 type of defense, which basically uses LL as a rover in a 4-4 kind of front (as opposed to 4-3 or 3-4). There's a link in a thread explaining it somewhere, let me see if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 As a SS, it'll change from week to week based on the opponent's tendencies. Miami was doing nothing but short crap for most of the game, so they kept him in the box. Next week against Philly, he should be all over the field. Close to stop Westbrook but they'll drop him on passing situations. Against New York, I'd use him to shade Shockey and Burress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why you guys hate on him so much? Most things on Smoot's side were underneath. Carlos Rogers on the other hand is the new Ade Jimoh, if you see him expect something bad to happen. If you see a flag, its on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ez2envy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I thought Rogers wasnt all that bad. He had 1 bad quarter. The 1st 3 he was solid and not even getting thrown on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjKam1 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Landry will be in for support, 8 men in the box, Landry will be there. Rogers was horrendous today, as usual. The performance of one individual is making our entire defense suffer. Last year he had 2 memorable plays which mattered, he broke up two passes intended for recievers in the endzone, however he was being burned and abused by offenses like a ragdoll. He needs to improve his gameplay tremendously or you will see Landry much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pourdanesh Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 they definitely picked on smoot in shorter routes, but he was giving a pretty significant cushion (whether that was the coach's call or not i don't know). rogers made that crucial tackle at the goal line, right? (i thought it was him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenegadeTK Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 yeah.... miami was terrified to go down the field. ST had 10+ shut down how bs was that pass interference call against carlos..... such garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishisthegreatstuff Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 smoot was much worse than Rogers. They were picking on him all day. He flat out can't cover anyone and can't catch to save his life. Were screwed...teams are just going to throw at him all year. No1 will be throwing the ball at springs this year.

Smoot is gonna prove you guys wrong to. The dolphins were calling their plays based off wherever area 51 lined up. If they played back, they ran the ball, if they played up, they passed.

I'm kind of concerned with Smoot and Rogers getting picked on like they did today. I'm not exacty sure what Landry's assignment was, it seems as though Williams left him out in "left field" which reminds me of Archuletta. Neither Smoot or Rogers played the way I thought they would, yet there's time for improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squatch66 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 i just wish that landry had gotten a chance to lay a lick on trent green today. would have put in the back of his mind that he needed to account for landry all day. maybe would have bought us a little more time back there before he got rid of the ball.

The full quote: "I've been in some situations where you think we're going to have a tough time running the football this year, then you look at the tape. Washington had eight men up a lot, especially early. They had Landry down in the box. I bet there won't be a lot of people to run on that defense with Landry in the box as the eighth man." http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/football/pro/dolphins/sfl-dol0909rbs,0,5298442.story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z0eboy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Its called cover 3 defense people, C rogers, S Taylor and F Smoot cover a third of the field allowing L Landry to roam near the line of scrimage. Its how LL was used in college and i think the CB play is exactly what GW wanted to accomplish also the LB and DL were nice compliments in stoping the run and i look forward to this defense being top 5 in the league barring injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mi6 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Carlos is a BUST. He is not a top flight CB and is the weakest link in the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z0eboy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Carlos is a BUST. He is not a top flight CB and is the weakest link in the defense. No has been able to answer this question, other than C Rodgers what 1st round corner in the last 5 years has shown more upside than C Rodgers?

AmeriplanDentalMan Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 did anyone else notice that the Fins would not have scored, and the game would not have gone into overtime, if Mike Sellers, Peirson PReloue, and Rabach had not each had a TEN yard penalty in the third quarter. 30 frikken FREE yards for the Dolphins in the third quarter because of three dummies.
