Game Tape: Laron Landry

[Dirtbag59]

I know I've been posting a lot of these lately but if you only watch one, watch Laron Landry. He is easily the most exciting player on this team and possibly the most exciting in the NFC East with the exception of Vick. Haslet allowing him to freelance was a feat of pure genius.

Update: Packers game for Laron is now available here. Colts game can be found here.

View OJ Atogwe here.

See DeAngelo Hall vs the Packers here. As well as the Week 17 Giants game which can be found here.. Y Bears esta aqui.




Not sure if the first play is computer generated though.

Note: Remember this isn't a highlight tape. I tried to get every play where Landry was around the ball. I also thought about putting in spotlights to locate him before every snap but Landry moves around A LOT before the snap. Plus it would have been tedious and time consuming. As I said in the description. Finding him is half the fun. Though I highly recomend going to YouTube to watch this video as I doubt you'll be able to find him with the embedded version of the video.

Next Landry post will be a combo of both Philly games.

Thanks I enjoy the clips you put together.

He's going to be a FA next year.
They should offer him an extension ASAP.

Agreed, he is on an upswing now...getting better every season. Before the injury he was a solid candidate for DPOY.

It will be devastating to lose him and even worse to play against him.

There's a possibility that we will see different Landry this season

I haven't watched the video yet, but I wanted to comment before watching. I think of Laron Laundry as another Roy Williams(the safety, not the WR). Great at playing the line and hitting, sucked horribly at pass defense and coverage. I read a great deal of articles where the defense had to be adjusted to account for that weakness to a point where they just simply cut the guy because he was a one trick pony. I'll watch the video later and comment.

LL has much better range than RW ever did. LL just isn't very instinctive when it comes to coverage but he can make up for it at times with his wheels and closing ability.

Yes, I agree. He had a great playoff game too vs the Seahawks. Out of one game of playoff experience he has 2 INTs.

All the more reason to root against an 18 game season. How the owners can think this is a good idea is beyond me.

I don't think the owners are thinking about players much anymore.. All they see is $$$$ in their head, I would guess.. But of course, what do I know? I am just a college kid who doesn't keep up with politics and all crises with NFL. I just want to watch some football!!

Btw, I really like the videos you put together - not just Landry's but all others too..

I don't know about all the owners but it certainly seems theres enough of them that are more concerned with chasing money then the gameto cause a problem. I mean I understand the desire to make money but why own a sports team if thats your chief concern?

Also thanks for the compliment on the videos. Part of me was worried that they were becoming a nuisance. Maybe I'll get more complaints once I start compiling game tape on the trainers. "And look at how slowly he attends to the injured player."

Seems like the Green Bay game wasn't Landry's best except for the very last play.. Players were able to catch balls when he's covering them.

Well in fairness to LaWrong (sorry just wanted to say that) the coverage was set up in such a way where there was a huge weak spot between the corner and the safety. In fact a lot of the plays where Landry gave up yards were designed defensively to not let them past a certain point like the corner blitz on 3rd and 9 during the Cowboys game.

Laron gave up a few plays but for the most part he did his job. Personally I'm just excited about pairing him up again with a real Center Fielder. Amazing though when you think about it, as amazing as Laron is, ST21 was better. He was like a combination of Landry and Otowge in one player.

Really hope though that Laron can get back to where he was in 2007 in terms of coverage if for nothing more then self preservation. It seems a lot of these safeties that make a living in the box get nicked up more then most and the way Landry's playing, well lets just say you don't break/sprain/dislocate (not sure which ones exactly) a wrist, shoulder, and achillies playing soft.

Actually come to think of it maybe GW simply knows how to coach Free Safeties better then Blache did, as his leaving coincided with Laron picking up some bad coverage habits. Even funnier that Blache used to compare Laron to Polamalu but Haslet actually used him as such.
