RonArtest15 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 He dropped a "would be" interception yesterday. If I remember correctly, he also dropped a potential INT in the Giants game a few weeks back. We have all seen his jaw dropping speed and overall talent, but what's up with his hands? I'm not 100% certain, but I believe one of the knocks on him when he was coming out of LSU was his hands. Dude is playing some incredible ball at the FS spot. He does have the ability to cause turnovers (INT's) as he displayed in the playoff loss against Seattle. I know there were a couple other instances last season where he also dropped "would be" INT's....I dunno, maybe he just has to simplify things a bit. I wonder if he is thinking 6 points before he actually catches the ball? What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 47 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 he probably just can't catch lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, I thought the Wide Receiver made a good play on the ball, but he should've felt it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aghar Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Maybe "he needs to go" along with the rest of the players who can't catch, fumble, can't block, etc that this team is suddenly made up of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR made a great defensive play, hit him right as the ball got there. Even if you feel it coming there's only so much you can do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundown Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Thats why they are DB's and not receivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.TaylorMade Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 you cant blame laron for that... the receiver hit him in the shoulder causing the ball to come loose... as for london fletcher's pick... he just plain dropped that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of an overreaction much? Maybe he just has bad hands. It is harder to catch a ball that you are not expecting than one that you are. Of course I would love to see him making those interceptions but the man is a beast and I wouldnt trade him for any FS in the league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwitt Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Same thing, to a much larger degree, with Carlos Rogers. If he can actually haul in the INT's that is a bonus. These two are playing great football right now so I can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of the Devil Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 can anyone else think of anything to complain about? i guess we should bench him for his poor hands. give me a break. we lost a error filled game. we still play next weekend.

EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Pardon me for being annoyed that you've started this thread because you're upset that Landry isn't perfect, but unless I'm stupid, did he not get 2 INT's in the last year in the playoff game?

#1njskinsfan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 he plays DB for the washington redskins......and your surprised he cant catch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truant Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 His hands were never great. College or Pro. I don't think he'll be an ELITE player until he starts making those plays. He's a damn fine player, but for a top 10 pick it'd be great to see him round out his game. If he had better ball skills he'd be one of the best in the game. Turnovers change games. Love to see him create more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellsMyHero28 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 So let me get this straight. We have an extremely athletic, hard hitting safety that has done an excellent job of preventing deep passes...and you're complaining? What exactly do you want him to do, besides work with a Juggs machine and work on his hands? Hes a damn good safety, and his hands are the least of our concern right now.

I was being sarcastic and pointing out how many people have overreacted today just like after every loss we have it seems fans decide which players get thrown under the bus.

HOF44 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Thats why they are DB's and not receivers Thats it in a nutshell. If he could catch he would be playing WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregpeck99 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think he stinks . Let's trade him. We shioulda drafted Adrian Petersen instead like I suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire3fighter4 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 solution: Him and Horton make a baby, and it will become the best safety to every walk the earth in about 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Both him and Fletcher got hit as they were catching the ball. Bad luck, but they hardly looked terrible catching the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
