I just think it may prove that DH can actually tackle something he struggled with last year and had alot of hate from this board thrown his way.
I do agree you dont want a CB that high on the list. Landry and Rocky are ok, but not the CB.

Its only been two games and some of you guys are acting like he's the reincarnation of Ronnie Lott.
I think I'll wait until January till all is forgiven.
Landry has a lot of mediocre play to make up for.
This is sorta where I'm at. Landry has proven he's not a bust; however, I think at this point he's far from an overall dominant safety. Very strong this year against the run and obviously made enormous strides in form, technique and tackling. Landry is still a bigtime liability in coverage...sorta more of the same: bad angles, etc. In both games he's blown coverage, especially when the corner blitz has been called and apparently it becomes Landry's assignment to pick-up the WR. He's given up plays like the rest of our defense, especially against the Texans.
...he reminds me of Roy in Dallas for all those years. Tough as nails against the run but eventually teams learned how to exploit his weaknesses. It will be very interesting to see if Landry gets to the next level.

Landry was an embarrassment last year.
He was ****ing terrible for a player with his "skill" set.
As many people have speculated he might have simply been out of position.
Dude looks like a Pro Bowler so far this year. All Pro even.
The coaching staff last year was likely incompetent. The evidence of that will hopefully mount as the year continues and we start to kick ass.

That F'ing bastard Doughty! How dare he surpass London Fletcher on tackles. I'm telling you, he's a team cancer. [/sarcasm]
:smashfrea
well that's going a bit far
however if you can't admit that Doughty has been outmatched you're probably delusional

Seem to be talking about doughty a whole bunch. Just wanted to express my desire to replace him with someone more competent. He was good in run support, but we seem to be playing him in pass support alot, and he seems to get owned by pretty much everyone. I might be wrong on this, but Haslett's system seems to have the safety's be more important than the corner's. I'm not saying that Doughty is bad, he's just not quite good enough for me to feel comfortable with him roaming around there in pass coverage all the time in this system.

Well, Reed's tackles are a result of teams targeting him as the weakness of the D. Fletch flies around like a heat-seeking missile.
