Houston2Taylor2Landry Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 It was still a dick move and a dirty play. He didn't even try to tackle Fred Jackson---probably because he got stiff armed like a punk the last time he tried that. You have to be kidding me... All of these years "Landry goes high and is always looks for the big hit", so he goes low and happens to hurt someone..It was dirty! It's truly unbelievable on this board sometimes. Landry played GREAT on Sunday. So did Gomes, and that's great, too. So, as long as we have our SS playing well, we don't need to bash Landry.

HailToTheRedskins14 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 But the question is, was his celebration after a first down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptChaos86 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Landry knows how to do one thing and that is hit people. His coverage is terrible and was never a real asset to the team. I'm for one happy he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston2Taylor2Landry Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 But the question is, was his celebration after a first down? No, it was after a pretty nice open field tackle after like an 8 yard gain. But, the Jets were up BIG at the time, so even after a first, celebrating would have been at least acceptable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01p8AgHTWWc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 The Jets fans are happy to have this guy on their team so I guess everyone wins? I kind of miss Landry. There is that tie to ST that will always be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin4ever Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 That was neither a dirty hit nor an over the top celebration. All he did was get up and clap after a big hit. He's done much worse in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirClintonPortis Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Madieu Williams is doing a fine job replacing Landry as the undisciplined, stupid, pain-inflicting douche of our secondary. Funny, but Dirty 30 never could figure out what "wrap up" means or he must have been so traumatized by that Brandon Jacobs hit that he vowed "never again" to tackle by wrapping up, much to his own detriment. . . ---------- Post added September-12th-2012 at 02:27 AM ---------- Yep, that's twto knees Landry's taken so far this season. "Knee killer" should be his new nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Im glad hes gone. He will prob play another 3-4 games for the Jets and end up on the IR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It was a clean hit, he turned away after the hit and clapped. It didn't look like he was celebrating an injury, just celebrating his tackle. As many of you all have said, he's done much worse. I'm glad Landry is gone, his first few good seasons have been over shadowed by his last few injured or annoying ones. I just hope Merriweather can come back and play well or that Madieu Williams cleans up his act a bit. Also, Gomes is likable and hopefully keeps improving.

amm0409 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Dang, I just saw the play today. Yikes that had to hurt, Big Hit. He was clapping as soon as he made the hit, turned and still was clapping. I don't know what else to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Dang, I just saw the play today. Yikes that had to hurt, Big Hit. He was clapping as soon as he made the hit, turned and still was clapping. I don't know what else to say I don't think he knew he was injured. It was probably a little personal since Jackson made it his business to truck LL last year. It was a monstrous hit. Actually this would have been a good opportunity for him to go for the kill shot. Otherwise he could have easily knocked off the other defender who was holding his leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me when has Laron been the guy to emulate in taking proper angles and simply making the right play instead of always or almost always going for the big hit. Yes, once in while he'll make a textbook tackle, but poor angles and whiffs were more frequent. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-films-game-of-the-week/09000d5d80c9f64c/Week-11-Cowboys-vs-Redskins-Game-of-the-Week 5:29 is yet another example of his brain-deadishness when it comes to umm...making tackles.

Yeah, Landry was a very poor tackler in 2008 and 2009. NOT the case at all in the 17 games he played in 10 and 11. Some iffy attempts last year, yes. But 2010 he was tackling EXTREMELY well.

The problem with Landry was that he didn't wrap up, whether he launched himself high or low was more or less immaterial to the discussion. He sure as **** didn't try to wrap up Fred Jackson on that play, he just put his head down and dove right into Jackson's knee. That poor form is what gets him in trouble more often than not in games and is relatively dangerous - both for Landry and the guys he goes after.

Hence, your presentation of the number of tackles(including combined tackles). is actually quite irrelevant to the discussion; he very well could have made 20 "wrap-up tackles" and 60 "battering ram" type tackles. 2008 was actually a decent year for Landry as well, but his absolute lack of awareness still popped up, as shown by his lame attempt to tackle Rocky Mac by diving into him. I am quite sure you know that wrapping up involves a motion similar "hugging" your oppoent's leg, not trying to lauch yourself as a projectile into the player.

Basically, what I am trying to say is tackling form becomes irrelevant when you are averaging about 9 tackles a game. Also, I think 2008 for Landry was pretty bad, people just didn't hate him yet, so he wasn't ridiculed for EVERY thing he did like in 2009 till now. Matt Miller did a film review of Landry this off season and basically gave LL amazing score for things like Tackling and Run defense. Said he would be elite if not for achilles. I agree.

Isn't the logical conclusion that if it weren't for poor tackling form, he'd average closer to 12-13 tackles a game? Those missed tackles matter, separate from the others that he DID make. That's like saying it doesn't matter if a player drops 2-3 INT's per game because he averages 6 per season...yeah, that's a great average over time, but the missed opportunities still have a negative effect every time they happen. This game isn't just about stats and end-of-season totals. You need to actually make plays and win games in the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, Landry missing copious amounts of tackles is all in most ES'er's heads. Football Focus keeps track of missed tackles. Landry is never in the bottom half of the league in misses. In 2010, they had him as the best defensive player in football. He didn't miss tackles in 2010. He was great. Everyone on this board was LOVING him in 2010, until he let Desean Jackson score. Then he got hurt. And the pure hatred returned. It's HILARIOUS to me. 70% of ES talks crap about LL, now he says something about Shanny and the trainers and he gets KILLED for it.

Boss_Hogg Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Landry's still on the injury report (heel). It's the same heel that kept him out if action with the Skins. His did not practice yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailToTheRedskins14 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Landry should be a head coach when he retires, since he is smarter than Shanahan and Belichik. LOL @ Shanahan and Belichik, who only have 8 Superbowl wins between them! LaRon has like 10 on Madden, and he's probably the biggest guy at his local gym!
