Wow I sure hope your LaRon's agent cause Coach Zorn can't get him to answer his calls. Maybe if Dan Synder calls he would pick up the phone.

A friend of mine works out at the same gym in Slidell, LA. I was walking into the local watering hole yesterday to watch the LSU baseball game when the phone rings.. "I have somebody who wants to talk to you". - My friend " Hey Jim its Laron". !!!! I was stuttering for a second there. "Hey Laron long time Skins fan and also a fan of yours". -me. We talked for about five minutes about the defensive squad this year, and he sounded Very excited about the upgrades on the d line. I also told him about the warpath and the concerns of the fans about him not being at the otas. He told me he was flying to D.C. today. (Sunday) It was pretty surreal, I mean to talk to one of my favorite players in such a casual phone conversation. Laron is a very personable guy, He doesn't know me from Adam, but he took five minutes out of his workout to shoot the breeze about the Skins. I think between what was said, and just his demeanor, he set aside any fears I had of him being unhappy as a Redskin... HAIL!

That's cool. I guess if Laron shows up for this week's OTA's it will confirm your story. :)

Re: Landry is MIA
 

I'm not too worried about Landry. The guy is a beast, he should answer Zorn's calls but I have no doubt he will be ready to kill some people once the season starts.

Yeah, to be perfectly candid with you GMScud, I seriously hope Laron shows up... I promise you that I spoke to him, and all that I have posted is what I genuinely took of the conversation. That being said, and all things considered, I will look like a fool if he does not in fact show up.. This is so me. I love to put my foot in my mouth, not that I like the taste though. I just post the truth as I see and hear it.

I am not doubting your phone conversation, but are you sure it was Landry? Could've been a prank by your bud...

Yes, the glass is always half empty at my house.

No prank, I assure you. Laron lives on the same street as my friends parents. The man sees him ALL the time.

Re: Landry is MIA
 

Just curious when/where Landry has said he's unhappy at FS or feels he's underutilized at FS or something to that effect? I've only heard that comment from fans and it still surprises a bit cuz Laron was at the top of his college game (LSU) as FS. What made him the best overall defensive player in that draft (at the time) was his ability to almost totally shut down opposing offenses air assault.

...maybe he's been a little bit of a disappointment in that regard but personally I think this is his breakout year...PB baby.

It is called offseason speculation, another Mike Florio stab against the Redskins, writers have nothing else to write, etc., etc. I was reading Florio's article on this, I swear he's such a prick. Is he a Cowboys fan? Shoot, Mosely from ESPN who used to write for a Dallas newspaper gives our team less crap.

Damn, I wish people would start rumors about teams we have to play against. Personally I heard that DeMarcus Ware, Tony Romo, and Jason Witten all want out of Dallas. And Donovan is tired of the city of brotherly shove. So is Westbrook thats why he's faking an injury, to stay away from that city for as long as he can. And oh yeah Eli doesn't like the idea that he can't have an unregistered handgun, plus he doesn't like the New York weather so he's requesting a trade to San Diego.
