Fan4life Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Could he play ST position until his return? Landry seems to have the same range as ST. Just seems more logical vs the Cowboys open pass scheme. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightbird Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 No. No need to have him learn a new position his rookie year. PP was playing a lot already anyway, so we may see a lot more Reed Doughty on defense. Hope he's up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Might want to be more specific in your thread title, but no...I don't think Landry is ready for that at this point. He is going to be a great player, but he is still a rookie. Taylor is the best FS in the game right now; hard to step into those shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokieskins1 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I think that Landry is going to have a big game Sunday. I don't know how I feel about him moving to a new position in the middle of his rookie year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomel Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Frankly, I was thinking the same thing. I read somewhere that PP is very good against the run. If that's so, it makes more sense for him to play closer to the line, with Landry playing centerfield. I recognize that this would be a real challenge for a rookie, but Landry's natural talents might make this option the best alternative until Sean returns.

Fan4life Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 I dont know if PP was the speed to play back there. Man I hope our secondary can keep us in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins110 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I think we're better off playing a two high safety look for this game. One of landry's few weaknesses coming out of college was that he didn't always play the ball well in the air. He needs more experience, as does PP, as being a lone Safety playing Center Field the way ST does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems more logical vs the Cowboys open pass scheme. :dallasuck I was actually thinking this very thought a couple days ago and completely agree. He seems to have tha athleticism required to offer good deep pass coverage. Move Pierson up for run support is my suggestion. GW himself said shortly after drafting Landry that he gave them a luxury b/c of his ability to play either Safety postion and excel at both.

DCranon21 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'd like to see Vernon Fox play. I was going to say the same thing too Santana. What about Vernon? He stepped in last season and did better than what I thought. So it should go like this FS- V.Fox SS - L. Laundry LCB - S.Springs RCB - F.Smoot With Macklin, Prioleau, and Doughtery coming in.

I think Fox is better anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightbird Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Man, this isn't exactly a luxury of options for us. I'd love to go into this game with Sean, Carlos, and Marcus, but it is what it is. We're gonna have to score some points Sunday fellas. Maybe Antwaan or Rock are due for a big return. Maybe get some reckless picks off Romo sits to pee. Gonna be a tough day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he's up to it. Agreed. Landry is doing too well in his position as a rookie to move him around now, even if it's temporary. While it's obvious that PP was a huge reason we lost to the Eagles, I think he'll play much better having a week to prepare. Although nobody has an effect on the Cowboys like ST does. TO fears him, and he knows it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateYanksDukeCowboys Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 With Macklin, Prioleau, and Doughtery coming in. Is that like Chris Daughtry, Brad Daugherty, or Reed Doughty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems more logical vs the Cowboys open pass scheme. :dallasuckI think he can but thats alot to put on a rookie he seems alittle to aggressive similar to how ST played when he first got here. I think Vernon Fox is a quality back up and if he isnt hurt anymore should be activated infront on P Priouleau at starting Free Saftey :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winning Season Please! Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Man I can see the Cowboys using the middle of the field with Crayton and Witten all day if we play cover 2. You have got that right! We all remember what Witten did to us at the end of the game last year...runnin up the seam 2 times in a row wide open! It almost cost us the game.:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailskins94 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I'm pretty confident Williams will keep Landry in his position. Which means you will see a rotation of Vernon Fox, Reed Doughty, and Pierson Prioleau covering Witten and Owens over the middle. I'm also fairly confident you will see Fletcher covering TO at one point. It's going to be a fun fun day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
