Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

[quote=Meks;832117]Fear this more than the average person I guess... it changes what we do on defense when Landry is not in the game. I hate it. Doughty IMO is a giant liability, pun intended... if they beat us, it will be the secondary and a slowly declining pass rush which in turn will let Eli shred us like he usuallybdoes... I pray that we can over come missing LL this week and haslett plays a little more 2 deep than hed like[/quote]

i completely agree. i dont have much faith in doughty. yeah hes a great tackler when hes there, but hes not there much, always a few steps behind.

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

[quote=mooby;832074]I think Doughty will get the call. He's not as athletic as Landry, but I think if we put Gomes in there he'd be a lot more susceptible to play fakes and getting caught deep. I like how aggressive Gomes is but that can be his downfall as well. I don't expect Doughty to play like Landry but I'm not as down on him as some other members of the board are.[/quote]

I like Gomes as a blitzer and for his potential. But yeah, realistically, he's a rookie who, as Blache said, will break your heart.

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

The lockout undoubtedly had an affect on LL's ability to adequately rehab his AT without surgery and without the help of the team doctor and trainers. Over-compensating for his existing injury could have helped led to his now hamstring problems.

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

Doughty will be fine . Unless Haselet has him lining up over the slot WR and covering him one - on - one we're fine .I would love for LL to be out there , but now the other 11 guys have to buckle their chin straps and go KO Eli !

I wouldn't say "Oft". He's been injured basically one time. That said, not sure why any of you are surpised he going to be out. I felt all along he would miss the first couple of games.

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

yes, suspected this. i'm glad at least they are reporting the achilles is okay and it is something different. if it was the same injury from last year, i would be more worried.

even still, concerning that it's taken so long. bet it's going to be 3 games.

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

Honestly ever since Laron effed his achilles tendon I've expected a series of injuries. I'm not writing him off just yet but Laron isn't a smart, skilled safety. He's a Roy Williams type who relies heavily on his physical dominance and is most helpful in run support. After an achilles injury players have such a tendency to favor that leg, which often leads to strains and/or injuries else where.

...I'm hoping Reed can step up big for us all year!!!

Re: Landry to miss opener vs Giants
 

I'd rather have LaRon miss the first game or two than play and get injured and miss the whole season.

Same. Should be a good year if he needs to take a couple games off to be healthy later I'm fine with it

Did you just compare Landry to Roy Williams? :confused:

Landry works hard, and is a weight lifting machine. He's basically a LB at Strong Safety, but in our defensive scheme he's an animal and we miss him when he's not on the field.

What's so confusing about the comparison?

LL needs to get his head on straight. Till then, the comparison is warranted.

If that is the case then im all for it. However, I feel like it's going to be a long season for Laron but I definitely hope I am wrong.
