MattFancy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Good! Let him get some more PT. He hasn't looked too bad so far. More experience can't hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetThePointsSoar Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I like it - keep getting him game experience & letting him learn from game day mistakes. Good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat~man Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Eh..I like youth, but this guy is tiny. A SS that's no real threat to hit you hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Like that Gomes is getting his chance. Would be nice if he can step up and play at a high level. Wouldn't put as much pressure on us when it comes to LL next season. On a side not, is it just me or does Gomes look extre small out there??

MattFancy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 From Rotoworld: Coach Mike Shanahan hinted that SS LaRon Landry (groin, Achilles) may be done for the season. Landry, a difference-maker when healthy, has appeared in just 17 games over the last two seasons thanks to an assortment of injuries. That's left Reed Doughty to pick up the slack. Landry will be an unrestricted free agent after the season and the franchise tag has already been suggested as a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacks N Stuff Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Eh..I like youth, but this guy is tiny. A SS that's no real threat to hit you hard. I could care less how hard he hits as long as he gets the ball carrier on the ground and doesn't blow coverage. Not getting stupid penalties or wagging his finger in the "no-no-no" motion after the other team gets a 20 yard first down would also be nice.

dswerdlw Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm wondering if Gomes just looks really small when he's covering Gronkowski, who is really big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter Apotheosis Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Eh..I like youth, but this guy is tiny. A SS that's no real threat to hit you hard. I swear, people have absolutely horrendous conceptions of how big players need to be in the NFL. Ed Reed, Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu would like to have a word with you. I'm wondering if Gomes just looks really small when he's covering Gronkowski, who is really big. Any DB is going to look small when covering him. He's got 20-85 pounds and 2-9 inches on all of them.

Gomes is 5'11 . That's more than looking small..that is small. Don't point to a couple players and act as if that's the rule. He is tiny and at SS ...expect him to get bulldozed.

WhoRUSupposed2Be Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 ^^LL56 said that last week. Good call. In what thread did LL56 hint this in?

scruffylookin Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Good riddance to Landry. This is great news. Good Luck to Gomes. Hopefully he shows enough to be pegged the starter next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average size of NFL Strong Safety - 6'0 205 Dejon Gomes - 6'0 (or 5'11 1/2) and 208 before drafted... probably put on more weight now.... check your stats. Gomes is a beast in the box.

Coach Janky Spanky Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Good that Gomes is getting more time on field this year to develop. We need to re-sign Landry. It should be a priority. In the past we have failed to re-sign our own players -- Antonio Pierce and Ryan Clark come to mind. We should take a risk on Landry -- hopefully it won't cost as much as it would have before this year, and hopefully we get a hometown discount. And he was the 6th pick in the draft!! This is one of those situations where, given his upside, there is risk in keeping him but I think we have to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hmm, this raises a lot of questions. What happens at the FS spot? A mix of Doughty and Otogwe depending on offensive personnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those situations where, given his upside, there is risk in keeping him but I think we have to take it. He doesn't play. When he does play, he isn't any good. He's going to want a truckload of money. There's a good chance he fails an HGH test. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botched Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Wasn't there a thread in the offseason that was asking if Atogwe and Landry were the best safety tandem in the league? I'm ready to vote now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Couch Potatoes Unite!!! This is proof that being a work out warrior like Landry is bad for your health. ---------- Post added December-15th-2011 at 12:12 PM ---------- ....
