......................hmm,so what if nobody at all came?

As long as he shows up for the TC & mandatory work outs, this isn;t really that big a deal. I mean, I don't want to find out that he's hanging out with Ricky Williams or anything. So long as he's staying out of trouble, I'm fine with it.

The only reason this is news is because there isn't anything else TO talk about. If this was TC or even pre-season, something this minor (or should I say that this is a minor situation & that something with equal importance) wouldn't even make the news....I mean, unless it's TO & then everyone in the media is talking about what color his poo was that day.

Thats wonderful he is working out 4-5 days a week in Swidell,La. How about working out with your teammates during OTA's. LaRon is a good football player but he still has alot to learn to get on the level of Ed Reed. I understand its voluntary but when your still new in the league and making what #1 draft picks make you should have your butt here. If London, Portis,Moss,Samuel and Rogers are here then why not him. If he comes to camp and pulls up with some lame injuries players and coaches will be pissed.

Your right it is voluntary, but if your the only player not there than whats up with that. Does he feel that if he works out on his on that he is getting in better shape? Is he getting the reps to go against other NFL WR? I hope he is not satisfied just to be a average player and make his little money. Its nice that all the other Redskins player think they can benefit from OTA's. Its about the team not individuals that make a Champion Team. LaRon don't be Alone Wolf get with your teammates. Oh how about having respect and return the call from your coaches. I bet when you were in High School or Collage your ass would be calling the coaches back. Get to the Pros Heads swell up.

These guys are being paid mucho $$$$$$$$$ to bring home a title and it would be nice if they showed that they want to actually do it. They guys who want to win do not jerk around, make any and all preseason/offseason workouts, and do a shitload on their own in the offseason(like LT, etc). If Landry is indeed doing some crap like LT and some of the other hardcore players, then maybe I could see not giving a crap, but this guy doesn't seeem hardcore.

Why does what they make matter? How does it change the definition of the word voluntary?

The whole "they get a lot of money to play a game" is one of the silliest arguments out there in my opinion.

Redskins' safeties coach Jackson calls out Landry - NFC East - ESPN

Ruhskins · 06-06-2009, 04:38 PM

As many have said before, as long as he shows up to training camp, I'll be fine.

RedBar · 06-06-2009, 05:59 PM

Apparently Laron has a history of being unavailable for voluntary activities. That makes one question his sense of team. As much as we love the individual achievements football is still a team sport and it is hard to be an elite level player if your not first a leader on your team. You can't be a leader on the team if you are unavailable. Someone also posted that he is not happy playing free safety but would rather play strong safety. Well again, given this isn't his natural position, for the sake of team and self maybe he ought to be at OTA's. I don't think Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu care where you put them on the field, they are going to lead, they are going to make plays. That is who they are. They will make things happen. I can't agree that this doesn't matter. When a person avoids their coaches avoids any responsibility that is not forced or coerced then that says something and it will probably say it on a Sunday afternoon.
We forget how young some of these kids actually are. Maybe he will grow up before his obvious talent is gone or maybe he isn't shooting for Hall of Fame status, and is content with Prima Donna instead.
