Like Polamalu.

or he's trying too hard to make those plays

maybe one of these days I'll have the patience to review tape

Thats the feeling I get when watching him play.

LaRon Landry is not a great player. So far he's a wasted draft choice unless he starts playing much better (and smarter!).

Laron Landry is about as good as a FS as Brian Orakpo is at LB.

Great point. We are playing two of our most talented defensive players out of position, then we wonder why they have problems. It is time to see whether Kareem Moore can play FS to allow Laron to move back to SS. Likewise, Orakpo should be playing with his hand in the dirt every play.

I thought Smoot was going to play a little safety this year? I know he's been injured but i thought it would be a great way to get Laron closer to the line and it would allow Smoot to extend his career. Anybody hear anything about this lately?

Smoot has become a non-factor. As long as we're going to give Tryon his snaps, why not try Moore at FS? Laron is great in the box and has been our best blitzing DB since arriving. His speed to the ball is wasted when he's lining up 20 yards downfield. He made a great play on D. Williams deep in the red zone because he was lined up near the line of scrimmage. Move him there more often, and he will make big plays much more frequently.

He improved his play last game. Not to the point where he needs to be. But atleast he was making tackles.

He played FS in college but we never had any intention of playing him there when we drafted him. He played there in college for the same reason he plays it here. He was the best option. I would like to see Moore play most or all of a game at FS and Laron at SS. If we can play Orakpo at LB I don't see why we can't try that.

[tryfuhl]

well we had Sean so yeah definitely no intention

I wonder if Landry will commit to film study enough to start making plays like this:

Is Westbrook better than our 3rd round pick Kevin Barnes? You mean to tell me Barnes can't even play special teams and we spent a 3rd pick on this guy. Wow this sh*t is ridiculas. Maybe because we had Tryon and Westbrook we should have you our 3rd round on a O-Lineman. If we are going to go 4-12 we better play all our young s to see what that have or cut their loses for next season.
