The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Here’s how he broke down the final play in tonight’s game, when he put himself in perfect position to prevent a potential game-tying touchdown. “That’s how you’ve gotta play it, because they had to get a touchdown,” he said. “They couldn’t throw another checkdown, because it would’ve run the time out, so I knew they weren’t going to Westbrook. They needed a touchdown, so I just played the goalline. I saw him turn his shoulder for the dig route, and I just broke down on it. That’s it.”

And, as far as his enormous hits in tonight’s game … he claimed that he wasn’t sure they were that big at all.

“If I get fined for it, then I say it’s a big hit. All my hits have to be a fine in order for it to be a big hit,” he explained. “If I hit somebody, and Wednesday or Thursday when I’m sitting down at my locker and the FedEx package comes to me, then I know I’ve done my job. I’m gonna be waiting Wednesday and Thursday for my FedEx package, and I’ll let you know.”

I am really looking forward to the development of Chris Horton. Between the two of them, the Redskins should have the best safety tandem in the NFL history for years to come.

I don't think he's that good. He'll be darned nice but I don't think he has the runners vision that Ed has. If he does, he hasn't shown it yet.

There is an excellent chance that Deshawn Jackson will never really show up for a Redskins game again. Laron Landry is in his head for a long time to come.

When you see that kind of game from a good receiver, you know you are looking at the work of a top tier Safety. Nice work, Laron!

This is an excellent point. We all know what a threat D. Jackson is. But after a few licks and bruises from LL, he just wasn't the same. I think Jackson went in for some xrays during the game.....OUCH....!!!

Laron seems to like the name so...let it be.

LaRon fully endorses the “Dirty Thirty” nickname as evidence by the “LL Dirty Thiry” license plate on the front of his lime green Lamborghini .

I also really like Landry but I also think that he will be more of an asset if we have him playing Strong Safety - this guy is incredibly talented and I think we would be better served to have him playing closer to the line in 2009

I understand that our secondary this year needed him back there but we have Hall now (Hall needs to get paid big bucks to ensure he is leading our CBs next year) and we either make Springs the FS or find someone to play back there - Landry is too good a SS to have him playing in our secondary

This guy has fantastic ability and we need him playing SS where he has a lot more opportunity to b e devastating.

You don't hear Landry's name a lot because he plays so deep and lets Horton reek havoc near the line. It's a lot like it was with Taylor, who started to make more plays when he got more comfortable in the defense. I'm hoping Laron can stay at free and realize when he's got the green light to go make a play as he gets more comfortable with the system. I think that will happen. If you notice, the skins don't give up a lot of deep passes. A lot of that is because we have had nasty Free Safeties lately.

We've had this discussion before about LL as FS. You don't hear his name b/c he's an intimidating factor at center field. Case in point, the OP of this thread. I don't care if I hear his name but 1x for the whole season. He's back there doing his job intimidating the Jacksons and QBs of the game. That's what I FS SHOULD do and I think Landry and his 4.3 speed needs to be there. If Kareem comes around like people say, there's nothing wrong with playing 3 safeties. The more successful packages you can employ, the harder it is for the opposing offense to game plan.

I not buying that Vet...The FS should be your playmaker...Horton made more plays than Landry...This if Landry had been there!

You hear Reed, Dawking, Sanders, Polomolu, I this Landry could be our and would be talked about in the same breathe as Bob Sanders

The difference with our team and those teams you've pointed out is that they have a pass rush to make the QB make mistakes, giving the FS more opportunity. We don't have a pass rush, which gives LL mess opportunity. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but those guys mentioned have been in their position for more than a year. Many people believe LL will continue to get better at his position, just like ST improved at his.

I see your point Vet I just don't agree I just think LaRon is more Bob Sanders and less Ed Reed.

This kid is playing just fine and has been all season. Give this secondary a pass rush and they'll be fine.

Hell, the LB's will improve if they don't have to shed blocks from offensivelinemen due to a strong dline presence.
