Guy has all the speed in the world but he doesn't do the things in space that you need a deep safety to do and what's more he can't shake his inclination to bite on stutter/stop-go routes. Kareem Moore showed a little bit of what he can do deep last year, he covered well and he knew his assignments when he was on the field. I thought in the NO game he demonstrated and ability to anticipate routes and he showed us that he does have some range. From a positional standpoint I think doing what the position requires Moore is probably a better deep safety that Landry. I know Landry was faster and has more upside, he is a freak athlete and Moore is not but a part of me really thinks that Landry cannot make the light go on when it comes to playing deep. Part of playing deep especially in the old system is anticipating where a play can end up not reacting to where it is right now. Landry doesn't do that he always just misses the big hit or takes just a little bit to short of an angle, he's gotta be closer to be good. Moore doesn't need that, I don't know if he can start at that spot but Landry absolutely cannot.

Just so you know you probably be asked to leave soon becasue you make way too much sense. =)
