The Sean and Laron show Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 You've never heard anyone comment on Urlacher's work ethic? Or Manning's? Those would seem to be "white athletes that are actually good". You realize that a strong work ethic and a high motor are valued traits of ANY player, right? Including black players? Markus White isn't a very good player yet, but he's praised constantly for his incredible motor and non-stop effort on the field...guess what. He isn't a "non-athletic white guy".You're proving more and more how ignorant and narrow-minded you are. And its depressing that we have to even have this conversation. It just saddens me that some still see the world this way. Dude the "white players who are actually good" comment was just me saying Reed isn't good, not that i think white people suck at football. Those "hard worker" terms are always thrown out for the white sports player, i was simply stating that it was a stereotype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston2Taylor2Landry Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm glad that it was his Hamstring that acted up and not his Achilles. That is at least a little positve. And to the person that called LaRon "Malcom Landry" , apparently you have very little football knowledge, ---------- Post added September-7th-2011 at 11:27 AM ---------- Am I the only one that would like Reed to split his snaps with Gomes?

grhqofb5 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 This man should be in the prime of his career right now. What a shame. Let's hope this doesn't linger into October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston2Taylor2Landry Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I wonder if I should go find the pic of Landry getting smoked on play 1 of the Eagles game last year or him getting trucked against the Giants a few years back? I wonder if we can find a pic of the 4 TD's Reed gave up against the Cowboys in 2007... Two can play this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you lack the experience to properly gauge a comment made in jest, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt given your extensive time on this earth, as the authority in assessing degrees of football knowledge.

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I wonder if I should go find the pic of Landry getting smoked on play 1 of the Eagles game last year or him getting trucked against the Giants a few years back? you could also post the video of reed doughty getting smoked by larry fitz for a TD back in 07 or 08.

Warhead36 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I have a feeling this could be more due to his tweet than his physical status.

Or how about that game against the Saints when Doughty got abused on the same double move repeatedly and Brees threw for a gazillion yards??...Oh wait, that was Landry.

A Walton Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Wow I can't believe the racism card was pulled.....is Lavar in this thread? Reed is a backup drafted 173 overall....Landry is supposed to be a stud as the 6 overall pick. I hope Landry can get back on the field quick and that Reed does a serviceable job.

CounterTrey Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Ok so whats the latest..he tested his hammy out this weekend and has another setback? Was he forced to test it or did he test it on his own because according to his tweet, he was rushed back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backpack3r Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 No tackling? Doughty is a very sure tackler. His coverage is suspect, but come on, give him a little credit. Yeah sometimes he comes in and makes tackles, but he is nothing spectacular. Anyone can do waht he does, he really offers nothing positive, and his coverage is absolutely terrible.

NoCalMike Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Daughty is one of those players that can come into the game and play decently on a select few plays during the course of a game, but if he is starting, it is only a matter of time before he gets abused. For one, he is incredibly undersized, even if his coverage is decent he can't defend a pass. WRs will always win the "battle for the ball" against him. Secondly, although he seems to understand the scheme pretty well, he is often late to the spots he needs to be in. I can't even remember how many times I have seen a WR make a catch downfield, and then right on cue 5 seconds later here comes Daughty running in to make a tackle. Where the hell was he? Lastly, the dude is not very physical. In the preseason against the Ravens, go re-watch Ray Rice's TD run....Ray Rice met Reed Daughter at the line of scrimmage and basically wiped him away like a dirty Kleenex. It was embarrassing. If Landry had been in there instead, Ray Rice either would have been stopped for no gain, or at least slowed up enough by the contact that he gets stopped for a minimal game. I am not going to go as far as to say Landry being out will be the reason we may lose Sunday, but for those that think not having Landry in there is not a big deal. You are really kidding yourselves. If Kareem Moore healthy I'd feel a little better because then at least he would be rotating more with Daughty, but as it stands I believe Moore is not playing either. Here's hoping someone on the depth chart is a diamond in the rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanahan sending a message: nobody is above the team and dissenters will not be tolerated no matter what your name is. Insanity. Shanahan runs a tight ship, no doubt, but sitting a stud with no history of insubordination vs a division rival for a tweet where he's frustrated over his injury? No way. He was out of line, but not THAT far out that it would justify sitting him. Until it becomes a serious problem (See: Al, Fat) these things are handled behind closed doors with verbal abuse, extra laps, the occasional code red, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I would have no problem just putting Landry on ice for the first 4 weeks, because I totally get the vibe that he just simply needs more time. I think with those specific injuries he's recovering from, if they try to play him before he's 100%, he won't be off much use and might even get setback for the long term. But they'll do this dance every week about will he or won't he play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Kareem Moore being healthy wouldn't make me feel better about this at all. He's a FS, and a mediocre one at that. Can't tackle worth a damn outside of a big hit once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
