Yeh. Let’s save any “pays off” talk until you see the guy contribute for a season.

I keep remembering how Jacobs made his bones bowling over Landry for a big gain.

He’s had a good 1/4 season here or there. Good luck Jetskins.

Hope the Jets players are ready for some big hits! Well, on their own players at least… I can’t remember how many times Landry crushed a fellow Redskin when he completely missed on a hit. Probably the true reason Carlos Rogers wanted out of Washington the year before – he probably got the worst of it.

Revis, look out.

You really expect people to take it easy on you or your team with a handle like that?

he didn’t ask you to ‘take it easy on him’

Thank God he will be flexing after 25 yard gains in a J-E-T-S uni next year. Guy is a total bust. Can’t cover, always injured and a malcontent. Good riddance. Archuletta 2.0 – 6 million dollars. The jets will suck again next year, and Bart Scott is still an a$$hole.

Hail!

Ummm…You’re expecting him to be able to cover Gronkowski????

Happy 44th annivesary jet fans.

Your Super Bowl time is coming..every April, you talk w/the best of them.

Can’t wait to see Gronk and Hernandez running right by him. Get used to looking at the back of Landry’s jersey Jets fans.

If he stays healthy it could be a steal. But, he wont and he’ll be dissapointment. The fact that the skins are very thin at safety and let him walk says a lot.

If he can stay healthy, he’ll be great on the Jets… Unfortunately, that’s a big IF…

Good move Jets. Now for another wideout and running back that can actually break a tackle.

I liked the idea of having an intimidating hulk coming up in the box, but honestly…. the receivers in the NFCE didn’t really seem to fear him much at all.

Not nearly enough to offset all of the personal foul penalties, injuries, nicknames, et al.

Good luck with your monkey and your achilles tendon. Peace out bruh.

Good bye Laron and Good ridance!!!!! When healthy he is great against the run,However he sucks against the pass.He cant cover and whats worse,he takes poor angles in pursuit! If you guys think that you are getting a good Free Agent think again….Health is the main issue here,especially that bad Achilles tendon that he refuses to have the operation on……look forward to 4 games of a heathy LL!!!!!!

so I asked Bozo last week to refrain from making inflammatory comments on Pats stories and to focus on adding ideas or thoughts on Jets stuff.

Bozo, the floor is yours . . .

this actually works out perfect!!! Landry only plays 7-8 games a year, and ironically, so do the Jets!!

Guy can’t tackle? Had 85 tackles in 9 games 2 years ago. Can’t tackle. Right. EIGHTY FIVE TACKLES IN NINE GAMES. Really horrible tackler though.”

2 years is a long time ago. Even then he probably missed twice as many as he made.

Issues: He thinks he’s faster than he is so he takes bad angles on the ball. He thinks he’s a wrecking ball and tries to nail a guy but bounces off of him. Doesn’t wrap up. Always hits high (shoulder level, not accusing him of being dirty, just sloppy). Even when he gets a grip on a running back’s pads the running back gets away.

He over pursues in edge coverage. He over pursues on the blitz. He bites on every double more. He doesn’t recognize when he’s the last line of defense.

Most of his tackles also probably came 2-10 yards after the first down. After which he got up and started flexing.

I will bet the New York Jets organization $4 million dollars that Laron Landry does not play 10 games for them this year. It doesn’t matter how athletic you once were coming out of college. This guy’s not young anymore. He’s beaten up by the NFL. He would be a big pickup on anyone’s team, but the Jets took the risk.

Looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane most of the time. He is only a SS at this point. He had serious issues containing his gap assignment especially when had outside contain responsibilities. Totally a freak athelete but he did whatever the hell he wanted, but maybe Rex can give him one key each play. He is the biggest sucker for a double move in the League. DJax and Garcon posterized him in prime time as well as Jacobs when he got trucked.

Unless your name is Tannenbaum, or Ryan, why are you all so concerned about what the Jets paid for him?? Buffalo fans ragged on Maybin too, and he became quite an impact player the next season in green and white.

I’m excited to see what this kid can do.
Stay healthy, and give ‘em hell, LaRon!

He would have 85 tackles with 75 missed tackles. The tackle stat doesnt show anything, Landry bounces off people constantly because he is always going for the knockout hit.

The Ed Reed compairison is even worse. SS and FS are two completely different positions. You both need to actually watch more football.

Don’t ‘roids effect the tendons? Is the Achilles a big tendon? He did not want to do surgery. Alot of good questions there.

This Skins fan is happy to see Landry go.

When healthy, Landry is a solid player in run support and an electrifying hitter.

However, Landry bites on double-moves about 95% of the time and is easily beaten in coverage. He has some of the worst hands in all of football… catches maybe 20% of the possible INTs he gets his hands on. (maybe this is a Redskin-specific problem since Carlos Rogers finally discovered how to catch the ball when he went to the 49ers). Finally, and most importantly, Landry is never healthy. He has needed surgery on his Achilles tendon since 2010 but has REFUSED to get it. Frankly, all of that extra weight he’s put on in an effort to “Hulk up” is only going to put more pressure on that jacked-up tendon. I put the over/under on games played this year at 5. I’m taking the under.

HTTR!

Everytime I read his name I recall the headline from 2007 or 2008 here on PFT, “LaRon hits LaDong” or something similar. And I laugh evrytime!

Not a bad move for the Jets. I wanted him in NE because we are weak at safety, but from what the local reporters have been saying his physical scared the patriots off big time.
