I hope we burn him deep and Leonard Davis crushes him on a sweep.

Very disappointing indeed. I knew he would go way before our pick. But to the foreskins? :mad:

I'm hurting. The Commanders FINALLY did something right.

I agree....this is a good pick for them. Two freakishly athletic safties will help erase a lot of the inadequacies of their CBs.

Fortunately, Romo and Co. will still have all day to throw.

You guys will have no problems with us this season.

We should've addressed our Dline but took a stinking safety instead.:bang2:

Your boy Romo will have a minimum of ten seconds to scan the field. Our Dline is old and flat out sucks.

As much as I hate to say/admit this: Enjoy your two wins vs my Skins this season.:banghead: :banghead:

You took an outstanding safety, and the best player available.

It was the right pick.

The problem is.....a ton of needs....not enough picks.

I can't believe the Commanders fan is the only one making sense in this thread. I'll post here what I must have posted a thousand times in the chat room.

Landry can turn out to be an all-pro DB and it wouldn't matter. Hell, every single member of the Commanders secondary can turn out to be all-pro and it still will not matter. In this league, if you can not stop the run or rush the passer, YOU WILL LOSE!!! It's that simple. And right now, the Commanders are not capable of doing either of those two things. They couldn't do it last year and have not done nearly enough this offseason to address the problem.

I know some of y'all had a real love affair with Landry and I do think he can end up being a damn good player in the NFL. It doesn't change the fact that the Commanders NEEDED to draft a Defensive Lineman with the #6 pick and they drafted a freaking Safety. A huge misstep by Washington in the first round.

since you are obviously not a fan of our team, ill help you out. In GW's system, you dont need top talent on the defensive line, it is more important to have good lb's. Example, just look at our past defenses under GW that were top 10, and tell me who was on those lines. NO ONE. The main part for our lineman is to know their assignment, and fill their lane.

Now look at last year. Our problem was with our MLB and WLB. First of all, ill start with marshall in the middle. The guy doesn't know how to shed blockers, and was constantly getting pushed around in the middle, allowing the constant 6 yard runs that kept runs going. Now, look at holdman at the weakside. The guy is just flat out bad. Do you really think it is a coincidence that in the 2 years he has been named a starter, our run defense has dropped drastically?

I think bigger upgrades then the Dline were the ones we now have at linebacker. Fletcher in the middle (regardless of age) is a huge upgrade. He is a solid player, who hasnt missed a game in his entire career. He knows how to read defenses and get to the ball (hence why he has over 150 tackles for 3 straight years)

Then at weakside, we have either McIntosh or Marshal, either of which will be a big upgrade.

So while an upgrade on the dline would have obviously helped, I think a bigger upgrade for us is at the LB position, because GW relies on them

It awfully hard for linebackers to run to the ball when their Dline can't keep blockers off of them.

It's now been 11 years since the Skins used a first day pick on a Dlineman. Our Front Office knows jack squat about constructing a defense.

Landry could turn out to the best safety in NFL history but as long as Sean Taylor's still starting for them, touchdowns are on an "as needed" basis.

But if they drafted him to replace Taylor, their defense just got a lot better very quickly.

Since Gibbs said the team is stacked, I guess Landry won't even be starting :)

LOL, when I first read your title at a quick glance, I thought it was in ref to Tom Landry. I was soooooo MAD! Started writing you a go to you know where post, then looked again and saw the Rookie Landry (thank goodness....the mods would of been all over me). I must be careful.......:lmao2:

I owe you a sincere apology for the ugly thoughts I had of you for approximately 10 seconds........I love Coach Tom Landry!

I agree.

Gaines Adams is the guy you needed. When he went off the board you should've traded down and got multiple picks.

Im kind of glad Washington took Landry.
