For the record, I haven't said one word about Laron Landry in this thread. He's a strong safety, hasn't been stellar in pass coverage in the past, and likely would have been beaten as well. That in no way negates the point about how 'terrible' Reed Doughty is in pass coverage.

The premise of the question is not flawed. The Giants threw the ball for 32 times, and 2 out of the 32 he messed up on. So how about those other 30 plays? If he was such a liability, why didn't they keep exploiting him? Well you missed that whole thread devoted to LL and the argument about his liability in coverage.


Reed leads team in tackles + coverage liability = Terrible

Landry leads team in tackles + coverage liability = Awesome


That's pretty much the equation you hear from fans.
