Landry is MIA

I'm pretty sure the Skins aren't the only team with players that skip out on voluntary workouts and don't return calls.

Just as an example:
this was the crew missing from Dallas':

K Nick Folk
WR Travis Wilson
WR Sam Hurd
WR Miles Austin
S Courtney Brown
CB Mike Mickens
FB Deon Anderson
CB Terence Newman
TE Rodney Hannah
LB Justin Rogers
LB Stephen Hodge
LB Bradie James
LB Victor Butler
G Kyle Kosier
OT Michael Turkovich
WR Isaiah Stanback
DT Tim Anderson
DE Jason Hatcher
(this was from their OTA last week)
Really is a non-issue, In fact, I would agree with the sentiment that having all but one is a huge positive reflection on the FO. I just hope it all translates in the regular season.

The only problem I have is that its a team sport and everyone else is in DC and you know the players take notice of who did not show up.

Yeah, to be perfectly candid with you GMScud, I seriously hope Laron shows up... I promise you that I spoke to him, and all that I have posted is what I genuinely took of the conversation. That being said, and all things considered, I will look like a fool if he does not in fact show up.. This is so me. I love to put my foot in my mouth, not that I like the taste though. I just post the truth as I see and hear it.

I don't blame you for sharing your conversation with us. As far as i'm concerned: either Laron didnt talk to you and someone was pulling your leg or he just told you what you wanted to hear.

If the latter is the case, then it would seem landry is being somewhat two-faced.

CAVEAT: The difference between that list of missing players and Landry is that all the players listed above were EXCUSED from OTA's for that particular day. They are there at OTA's and they are not ignoring the phone when the coach calls.

Nick Folk and Isaiah Stanback are coming off injury.

I knew some were excused, I understood they were all missing, but still my point was not to bash the cowboys, no matter how fun, but to point out that one player not in attendance is not an indicator of poor FO style, or any cause for alarm.

people forget Springs and ST did this and they gave them a pass. Not everyone gave them a pass.

True, but most people did because they were better players than Landry, and it showed on the field. LL hasn't fully shown what he can be and that's where the issue lies with me. He thinks he's great but he's just a good FS right now. The problem with LL is that he's on the borderline between good/great, but his work ethic seems to be lacking. Some guys just aren't motivated to be great, which is what it comes down to. The problem I have is that he hasn't shown up at all, and then not calling the coach back is BS. Someone said earlier, if DS called Landry would be sure to pickup his phone.

Lucky for us, they don't care what we think
