LaRon Landry hasn't learned his lesson

by Ed Valentine on Sep 12, 2009 8:42 AM EDT in New York Giants News

Apparently, Brandon Jacobs did more than rattle LaRon Landry's bones last season when he steamrolled the Washington defensive back, a clip we love to find excuses to watch. Maybe Jacobs did a little brain damage, too.

Seems Landry hasn't learned much about how to tackle the 270-pound Jacobs.

When Landry was asked whether he would change his approach to the Giants' running back this year because of the hit, he immediately shot down the idea.

"I'm going to do the same thing I tried to do the first time," he said. "However it comes up, that's how it come up. I ain't gonna shy away from it. ... don't have a strategy I just go in there and hit. Mentality if you're a hitter or a tackler you got the mindset of just going there [and] doing whatever, make a disruption. ...

"He a powerful back. Probably got to hit him low, but ... I ain't going to shy away from the contact."

Maybe Landry should listen to teammate Carlos Rogers.

"Whatever situation you get in, you just got to take his legs out," he said. "That's where I'll be. I won't be nowhere up top, I'll be down there."

After all, we wouldn't want to see him get 'Laron'd' again. Or would we?

Lol...

“Landry’s about…not knowing where the heck he is right now…”. Isn’t Madden obligated to come back cuz Farve’s back?

Oh, and keep the focus on Jacobs for now. Cuz Bradshaw and Ware will feast off the remains he left for them.

Can’t wait to get the game on.

What the f$%k is the internet?

to be fair...

LaRon did make the tackle… Sure he got steamrolled and he will forever be a “YouTube! sensation”, but he did bring down Jacobs on that play.

Yeah when Jacobs tripped

after stepping on his gut. ’Cause, you know he was lying flat on his back looking at the stars.

True

but he got the job done… I’m sure he took some crap in the film session from his teammates too. They probably called him ‘Pancake’ for a week.

I’ve never seen Giants camp, but I wonder… how would Kevin Dockery bring down Jacobs?
I hope it’s not a requirement, because it wouldn’t be a pretty sight.

It would resemble

Jeff Van Gundy vs Alonzo Mourning (for all the Knicks fans out there). I think his only chance would be to throw his body at his ankles and hope he trips.
