Least surprising PED suspension ever: LaRon Landry

Enoch : 9/29/2014 8:00 pm
4 games, because, amazingly, it's his first offense.

Remember when Rex said he was the best FS

in the NFL after the Jets signed him..?
I still maintain that Landry could have been...

one of the best in the business if his coaching and mentorship (and that includes the sainted Sean Taylor) had been better when he was first drafted. He was as good a safety as I've seen coming out of college.
He could NEVER cover

And took more false steps in run support than any S I can remember. He was simply fast enough in college to be sloppy and make it up for it, he tried the same things in the NFL and people were faster and studied harder.

He's the most physically gifted I've ever seen out of college, but outside of the gym, he's crap.
yeah

great athlete, not a great player. Reminds me of David Boston.

But that's what I mean. He had serious shortcomings, but his "mentor" in Taylor was a guy who never bothered to learn the finer points of the position (they were together very briefly so blaming Taylor for too much of it is unreasonable), and the Skins had a coaching carousel for the few years of his career.

Funny thing is, he went on the 'roids because he was ashamed after being trucked by Brandon Jacobs in 2008. He was never the same again.
He was on juice prior to that  
Joey in VA : 9/29/2014 8:47 pm : link
That made him find stronger ones and mix in HGH. He's been a PED user since college

Has had a ton of juicers. Taylor mays, Landry, Cushing, just off the top of my head.
Landry was an LSU guy

Cushing was blatant coming out of college. Landry didn't start out in the NFL looking like a WWE wrestler, though.

Aaron Maybin was a huge obvious juicer, but he went off of it when he came into the NFL and flamed out early.
Landry

Looks like Maniac Cop now with his enormous jaw.
David Boston would be the least surprising PED suspension ever  
David in LA : 9/29/2014 9:18 pm : link
this one was obvious too.
lol

David Boston was awesome for a couple years, though.  
arcarsenal : 9/29/2014 9:27 pm : link
He looked like an elite WR for a couple of years in Arizona.. one of those years he was one of the best WR's in football and was a fucking monster. Landry was never on that level.
LOL! I KNEW there'd be a pic in this thread.  
T-Bone : 9/29/2014 9:28 pm : link
He looks like the 'Hyde' character in the movie 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' or something like that. LOL!
Jacobs runs over Landry ….

that's LaRon's brother, Dawan getting run over by Hillis

Wrong Landry on that Hillis run

You are right! Brain fart.
Oh well ….  
Manny in CA : 9/29/2014 10:54 pm : link
Didn't specify which Landry, did I ? - Giants keep it in the family.

I do recall Jacobs, though. Very special memory
LOLJets.

And the hits just keep on coming.

This is true Arc. I just thought it was hilarious to see Boston bloom out to outrageous weights. He had so much muscle he couldn't move. More egregious than Barry Bonds' gigantic dome.
lol - amazing he went this long without being caught  
Giants2012 : 9/30/2014 9:39 am : link
Figured they didn't even have to test as the eye ball is enough evidence.

Landry is a Colt.. hasn't played for the Jets since 2012.

Was probably juicing then too, though.
My friend has a nickname for Landry  
Patrick77 : 9/30/2014 10:15 am : link
- Elephant Arms.

His arms look like they are as big as elephant legs. The guy is more concerned with bodybuilding or how he looks IMO than football. The guy in the past has cut a normal tee shirt up to the bottom of his chest and cut tassles into it, then worn it at Redskins training camp... I remember once an announcer (forget who) saying on air that Landry has told people he lifts everyday, even gameday.

You have to think at some point that amount of muscle starts to put too much stress on his joints, ligaments, tendons, etc... or even affects his range of motion. Do you think he can touch his arms together above his head? lol
Can some queu the Jacobs truck?
