Who made out Best?

[CdUde425]

Pollard - Tennessee age 28 aka the Patriot Killer

Reed - Houston age 34 The Mastermind

LaRon Landry - Indianapolis Colts age 28 aka the HULK

 

Some tough Secondary's in the AFC South who got the better safety this offseason.

Colts

I am biased, I am gonna say we did.

 

I am glad we got Landry instead of Pollard and Reed.

i agree, although i would not have minded pollard

[Dustin]

Pollard and Landry are basically the same player. I guess it goes to whichever one stays healthy.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

Colts

[Tark The Shark]

i agree, although i would not have minded pollard

 

I wouldn't have either.

 

I think Landry is faster but hits just as hard as Pollard.

[21isSuperman]

I like Landry more than Pollard, so my very biased opinion is that the Colts got the best deal out of the three

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

I wouldn't have either.

I think Landry is faster but hits just as hard as Pollard.

well when you take into account that Landry hits just a hard and moves faster physics tells you that he (Landry) would be the harder hitter

[Tark The Shark]

And that is why I am happy that we have him over Pollard.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

i 2nd that

[Tark The Shark]

i 2nd that

 

And it gives more room for Bethea to play more freely.

[buccolts]

Though simply being 'faster' doesn't equate to hitting harder, I also prefer Landry.

Hester is faster.

[Tark The Shark]

I think our defense is a lot better with him.

[Kenny]

Landry is def the best but I wouldn't count Reed out he is just as much of a force with experience to aide the younger guys as he is on the field. Just hope he doesn't have a problem with the defensive switch.

[GoColts8818]

We did if Landry stays heathy

[Indyfan4life]

We did. I don't foresee Landry having an issue with the defensive switch.

[turner46992]

Im going to say the texans made out the best, they are a well built secondary and deflict passes a lot, the play the pass well, so bringing the best ball hawk safety of the three who had I think 14 ints last season with 9 broken up passes or so, makes them harder to pass on, there defense is already built really he is just an upgrade, where as for us, our defense isnt really built but still building, and with landry we can build around him if he stays healthy, As far and what safety made out best, Id go with Landry, Hard hitter, can defend the pass and will be a main focus along with bethea, mathis and davis. thats just my thought 

[Balzer40]

The Colts and it's not even close.

[Imped]

well when you take into account that Landry hits just a hard and moves faster physics tells you that he (Landry) would be the harder hitter

Remember boys and girls, PHYSICS IS PHUN.

Colts did

Reed is going to a pathetic Secondary

Pollard is going to a okay secondary but bad team overall

Landry us going to a team that's on the rise & building a monster

You think Ed Reed had 14 ints last year? Mistype, I assume?

[jvan1973]

i thought that's what he meant as well, but i think he meant the Texans secondary

[ColtsLegacy]

Possibly, that run on sentence is all over the place.

[Coltsman1788]

Well don't undersell the impact that a guy like Ed Reed can have on that Texans team.  Their regular season record aside, the Texans always struck me as a good team still missing something.  Reed's experience and presence in that secondary will be a shot in the arm for that team.  And yes I know that his skills are not what they once were.  He is still a very good safety and a savy veteran leader. 

 

Overall, I like our addition of Landry but would have been okay with the "Pats Killa" as well since I pined for him after his demolition of the Patriots in the post season.  Landry is fast and hits harder than Pollard in my opinion but I have some concerns about his ability to stay healthy and he can be suspect in coverage at times. 

[That Guy]

I like Landry best out of the three.

Reed is a good signing, but a three year contract at his age?

[ColtsLegacy]

Colts did

Reed is going to a pathetic Secondary

Pollard is going to a okay secondary but bad team overall

Landry us going to a team that's on the rise & building a monster

 

In what way is Houston's secondary pathetic?

[NewColtsFan]

Considering the Colts could've had any of the three,  I think it's clear who the Colts thought was the best.

 

Doesn't mean Texas and Tennessee didn't also do very, very well....

 

I suspect all three franchises are happy with the Safety they picked up....

[krichstarr]

colts

[HtownColt]

Speaking of secondaries.

@Earl_Thomas: Saying this now before the season start we will be the best secondary in the league.....#L.O.B

[Lucky Charm]

Didn't Pollard get let go after we had already signed Laron?

[SOMDColtsfan]

I was thinking the same thing too

Didn't Pollard get let go after we had already signed Laron?

[SOMDColtsfan]

Would like to see if Landry is still playing and not on IR by end of the year before voting on that one..dude is a beast though!

lol, by 14 ints do you mean 4?

[BlueCollarColts]

Didn't Pollard get let go after we had already signed Laron?

nah, Pollard was released like 5 or 6 hours before we signed Landry

[Superman]

Colts did

The Texans secondary isn't pathetic, and that's before Ed Reed got there. They were weak at safety, but not anymore.

 

I too like our acquisition better, but the Texans and Titans both did well also.

If they get any kind of play out of Locker at all I fully expect the Titans to push the Colts and Texans in the South this year. 

[Malakai432]

Pollard and Landry are basically the same player. I guess it goes to whichever one stays healthy.

Laron has way more credentials than Pollard in terms of accomplishments. You got a pro bowl, collegiate champion with D player of the year potential vs BP (however he does have a ring). I thinks it's leaps and bounds.

I do agree though it all boils down to health. I would say if healthy, Laron will make his second straight pro bowl appearance.

I think many seem to underestimate this guy, perhaps due to his health. I honestly think he will be better than Bob Sanders if he remains healthy, even though Bob was never healthy .
