McShay on Landry:

[circumstances]

so take out mark clayton and add steve largent. he was probably low 4.6's (and landry is faster than that).

 

[dphinsx2]

We should of picked another Ted Ginn. Fast as hell receiver who is scared of contact. Not!

 

[MartinTheSNAKE]

He's not starting over Hartline, Matthews... and maybe not even Gibson this season

Chances are he will next season though. Hell be better then both Hartline and Gibson imo. Making both or one of the expendable since Rishard Matthews is a comparable player to both. And much cheaper.

And yet...Landry out produced Beckham.

On that note, there was a really cool bit in Hickey's Day 2 press conference where he was talking about Landry. He said in all his interviews with prospects leading up to the draft he would ask players about one opponent that they most admired, and he said Landry's name came up over and over again.

I think that speaks very highly of the man.

Mark Clayton ran a 4.6???? Was he running backwards? Dude ran a 4.4. Marks Brothers known for speed. Clayton could also jump out of the building.

It would be nice if when you respond in a thread if you knew what you were talking about.

Despite a productive college career, Clayton was not considered a top prospect entering the 1983 NFL Draft. At 5'9 and 163 pounds and 4.63 speed in the 40 yard dash, Clayton's physical numbers weren't impressive. He was drafted in the 8th round by the Dolphins--the 223rd overall pick of the entire draft. (The NFL Draft no longer has an 8th round)

Duper was the speedster...Clayton was the baller with quckness but not the track speed....much like Jarvis Landry.

I actually see a lot of similarities to Clayton in Landry...I hope Landry is as good to Tannehill as Clayton was to Marino.

I expect the new offense to have a higher percentage 3 and 4 receiver sets. I expect balanced play selection with high expectation for productivity from the running game. Receivers that block well are worth a lot in that type of offense. I expect Landry will get plenty of playing time. Gibson and Mathews had better learn to be physical blockers if they want to stay ahead of Landry. Landry is the perfect choice for type of offense I expect to see. It is important to remember a player moves up and down in value based upon the scheme of each team. This was Ireland's critical failure. Landry's blocking ability had to raise his value within the scheme I expect. For the expected scheme, Landry was an incredible value.

All of our receivers not named Wallace give 110% and are really good blockers.... In a 4 receiver set you'd have Wallace, Hartline, Gibson and Matthews... unless one of them gets hurt I doubt Landry gets a huge amount of playing time. Think of him as Matthews a year ago. That's about the same amount of snaps he'll get, barring injury of course.

I disagree. I think Wallace is the guy on his way out next offseason.

I can only assume you have never seen Jarvis Landry play or his game film...or you would never make a statement like this guy is Matthews a year ago.

This guy is pro ready...does it all including blocking...I'll be shocked if he doesn't make a big impact as a rookie.

Wrong. Both were short but Duper was the 4.28 speedster, Clayton was a great atlete with big hops and great lateral agility. But he wasn;t straight line fast:

[BlueFin]

That just proves the point perfectly.....Clayton was a 4.6 and yet some fans perceive he was a speedster.

Clayton was football quick....like Jerry Rice and Anquan Boldin...and that is what really matters.

and you can affirm this because?? Is this speculation, or simply your opinion...You can post this type of comment, referring to last season, otherwise, my guess is as good as yours, but it must be respectful, not laughable, this shows disrespect...All the best for you

I meant in regards to him coming in with established starters already on the team and the playing time he got that year.

He's not going to come in and know all of our plays, routes, audibles etc. in his first year.. Let alone be able to beat out established guys.. Not happening this year.

 

[Namor]

Straight line speed on a track with shorts on<quickness with pads on plus route running ability,,,Take it from a Bama guy...
Both of these LSU guys scared the hell out of me...but when it was crunch time,I kept my eye on Landry...
We did good on this pick....

 

[enigmatics]

He says every player is his most favorite player in the draft.. Grain of salt.
We'll see when the game starts who is who.

I honestly can't listen to any of those guys anymore. We always get this ice cream and puppy dogs coverage.

 

[McDolphins]

He doesn't have to be listed as a starter to get in the game. A good OC will find ways to get him in the game if he can contribute.

I didn't mean any disrespect. If anything it's more of a challenge.


Landry is a good player, but the guys he's going up against know the offense already and have timing down with RT. It's not going to be easy.... Not at all. My bet would be that he doesn't get as much playing time as the rest.
