Well paid ingrate Laron Landry trash talked the Redskin organization on his way out of town, and made negative remarks about new Redskin safety Brandon Merriweather.
The Redskins used their number one pick in the 2007 draft and Laron Landry was given a generous 41 and a half million dollars for a five year contract. In 2010
Laron only played in ten games , then in 2011 he only played in 8 games due to his nagging Achilles injury. The Redskins were forced to go in another direction after it became apparent that
Dirty 30 which is Landry's nickname given by teammates refused to have the tendon surgically repaired. It may have been a different story if Sean Taylor had not been tragically murdered in his own home by some bungling thieves.
Left intact the infamous area 51 (the addition of Taylor's 21 and Landry's 30 )could have been a dominant safety duo for years. After Sean Taylor's death Laron was moved from strong safety to Taylor's free safety position.
Although Landry is a great athlete he
clearly was not great in coverage against receivers. Landry often was out
of position and frequently missed on tackles while launching himself like a missile trying to knock people out for the instant gratification of highlight oohs and ahs. In an age where the NFL is penalizing players for leading with the helmet just the dumb nickname "Dirty Thirty"should have been a big red flag indicating lack of character. The fans nor the Redskins deserve to be trash talked by the wanna be bodybuilder.
This guy was an immature person that was more worried about beating Clinton Portis in a sprint outside of practice, than taking the necessary steps to stay on the field. Hope you can start more than eight games next year for The Jets. You were a disappointment for this Redskin fan.
It's funny to me that Brandon Merriweather managed to make two more tackles than Laron in the same time period and had 12 interceptions
to Landry's 4.
