Laron Landry (good to see him back on the field for Broncos Game)

No question that Butler did a great job...our team overall was completely impressive for 3 quarters...but you knew no matter what that somehow Manning was going to make his run and he did just that! But we did just enough to win this game...biggest thing was the points off turnovers for me and the difference in this game (the fact that the defense created them is great but the fact our offense capitalized is what was most critical)

Butler, Landry and Vontae Davis were the players of the game on the defensive side of the ball. yes its hard not to include Mathis given his two sacks one FF on manning BUT Butler Davis and Landry had the toughest jobs out there. Butler was covering a slippery Welker, Davis kept Thomas at bay practically the whole game which was very huge, and Landry came up with a few big tackles to prevent first downs. those three there played lights out last night. I wont deny i wanted cyprien in the draft to play in Landry's spot, but right now i doubt he would have come up with those big plays like landry did and im glad we went with landry. this is one time im happy to say i was wrong in wanting cyprien lol.

i watched the game but was wondering if anyone saw Landry make any plays.  I did not but I was drinking.  Can someone refresh me on at least a couple of plays that Landry made, again, sorry, I don't remember him making any.  I will watch the replay tomorrow of course on NFL Network at 3:30 or whatever time it was.

You'll notice him.  He made some stops where he just flys in from off camera out of the defensive backfield to make a tackle.  Collinsworth was jabbering about the blue blur all night.

Given how well Howell played in Landry's absence, I was surprised just how much of an impact Landry made. It was a near Bob Sanders type impact. Now just stay healthy Laron!

Howell's first game was good but after that he was less than impressive and even downright bad at times. We really missed Landry and it showed by how big of an impact he made vs Broncos.

I'd also like to say that Jerrell Freeman is really starting to turn into a star. I felt this forum overrated him a bit last year, but now he is playing like an absolute stud out there and our defense looked downright bad vs the Chargers without him.

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
