atapcl Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Landry is a Pro Bowl level SS. He brings Bob Sanders ability in a bigger body. He will allow Bethea to move back to the FS role he played when he made the Pro Bowl. Landry will help in run defense and in slowing down the passing game. Last year I thought we had the best core of young receivers we had ever brought in together. This year I feel the same about the DB core and Landry tops the group off.

AntonMcG Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Michael Huff? A very solid cover man.Trade Bethea. to SF Huff is great actually, versatility to play corner as well... doubt we get him all the same. I think Landry may be given a lot of freedom to anticipate where the ball is coming and be the first or second man there to make the tackle. Bob Sander's DPOY season involved a lot of that.

throwing BBZ Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Getting rid of Bethea for Huff... Do you hate the Colts? Love the Colts. Bethea is more of a SS than a FS. Lots of Tackles. NEVER turns the ball over. Overpaid. I would not expect him to be resigned after this season. We will draft his replacement or find someone better. JMO.

JMO.Agree Betheas replacement needs to happen in draft though not FA.I think its a position to free up money in future with a good draft pick.Bethea dropped off last year but it could of been due to lack of help in secondary also.I think he will have a much better year but I dont think we need to resign him at a large cap hip either.Agree or Disagree just my thoughts.

He is very reliable at both, but I think the reason he has so many tackles is because our front 7 hasn't been that great at stopping the run.

I would not expect him to be resigned after this season. We will draft his replacement or find someone better. JMO. I don't think so. I think next offseason our main re-signs will be Bethea & Davis. Other key players (depending on their play) could be: Angerer, Connor, Donald Brown, Moala. We'll let Vinatieri go (or he might retire) and I can't see us re-signing Donald Brown either (unless he has a breakout season or something).

cmgww Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hmm...how does Landry fit...I say he fits his shoulder pad right into the middle of a WR coming over the middle and decleats him after a reception, causing a fumble that he or another member of the defensive secondary recovers. That's how I see him fitting. Bob Sanders 2.0 with better health (knock on wood).Remember, Landry crushed Dallas Clark's wrist, and Dallas never fully recovered mentally, IMO. He alligator-armed balls all of 2011. He was ok in Tampa this past season, but nowhere near what he once was. Good to have this guy on OUR side now.

Played more ss last year because Zbitkowski could not play ss. With Landry at ss I look for Bethea to play more fs at a level like he played when Bob was his partner.

throwing BBZ Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I am praying SF wants Bethea. With all his years of experience and a (Pro-Bowler), why can`t Antoine intercept one pass in a season. He had the Great Freeney & Mathis scaring QB`s all to.Oh ya, he did intercept ONE, three seasons ago (2010). LUV him all YOU want. We need a playmaker for the Big $$$ he gets.Homers luv Moala too!

weslo1812 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have read alot of bad articles reguarding Landry. Hardly any have anything positive to say about this guy. Appearently he was rated as one of the worst safties in the leauge. Im not saying I believe all this talk but so far I've read alot of criticism on this guy sayingthat he could be a bust.

Rafiki Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I vote NO for the Bethea trade, He is a solid "football" player. What I mean by that is he is not a robot back there.. he see's the play coming and anticipates probably better then anyone on our defense. With all that he is a very solid tackler, a leader, and supports the run really well. As for Landry I think he is a flat out stud. I see him drilling CJ2 , MJD, and Foster all year long... can't wait !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Wow, anyways. With Landry in the fold maybe the good Bethea shows back up. Him and bob back there played really well. So hopefully with the addition of Landry he returns to form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueAndWhite Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Wow !!. Alot of poeple want to get rid of bethea?!?! .....let me ask you guys something. He has had almost no pass rush for 2 or so years. And been working with a safety and cornerback that stink to high heavenalso on top of that he switched defenses this year.......i mean i could see hating on him if he had a great supporting cast ( good pass rush , good coverave guys ETC) ....but he didn't until right now. Please save the judgement till next year. I'll garentee he will suprise you.

TheBlueAndWhite Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hey I completely agree with you 100 % on the bethea getting better with landry. And tohler will help big time to !!. I mean could you imagine how hard it was for bethea to play when cassious vaghn was on the field !!. I mean it was frusterating for me to even watch it on the TV let alone play with the guy.................... As far as the the buisness/work side of things. I believe family comes 1st and for most ....but work is just as important when your there it's not just get in get the job done get out with the money. Its get in OWN the job and then go home to your family with a paycheck you have earned. Thats how i look at it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You upgrade whatever position you can upgrade. If its me, I would trade bethea for a nice pick and sign reed. Then draft a fs. Cause I'm not a blind homerin Bethea's defense I think he was very well suited to the 2 deep zone we ran the last 10 years. The change to the 3-4 and a more man coverage probably hurt him a little. I like Bethea. I think for a guy who was drafted in what like round 6?? He's been a heck of a player. I agree he had a rough year last year at times but prior to that I had said that Bethea was the most underrated player on the team. I remember back to the days of Chad Cota and some of the crud that Polian tried to pass off as good safeties when he first came here and I'm glad we have Bethea. Polian's first 5 or 6 seasons was just pathetic for secondary players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO. no the colts have just asked him to play SS because our other safeties couldnt tackle my 6 year old niece. you forget bethea when he was playing centerfield made him a pro bowler. with landry, bethea doesnt have to play near the box anymore and that why i think his production has dumped the last couple of years. hes a much better safety when hes playing center field then when hes playing in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
