the Jets were the only one that even gave landry a sniff. Now there is a true shell of his former self player. Way worse than Harper all the way around.
Harper gets way too much grief. He is an above avg NFL SS. I only have beef with his cap hit- $15mil the next 2 yrs. He's right behind Palomalu, Goldson, & Weddle in pay (and going up). That's a bit overpaid.
I've about given up on Jenkins. His arrow was pointed way up in '10 but he's gone backwards for 2 seasons. Terrible angles & arm tackling. Let him go after his rookie deal expires in 2014 unless he comes to life next year.
Said before, methinks Robinson might have had the hardest transition to Spags D than any other player. He was drafted primarily for his man skills and that is virtually out the window now. He has located the ball enough for 3 INTs and has more passes defended than anyone else on the team.
If they wanted to make a free agent splash letting Harper or Jenkins go William Moore & Goldson are on tap for UFA.
Draftwise for 3rd Rd safeties I like-
Matt Elam FL
Tony Jefferson OK
Bacarri Rambo GA
Phillip Thomas Fresno St
Robert Lester AL

I agree that Harper gets way too much grief. Safeties are typically called upon to be the most versatile players on the defense. They have to cover and tackle as major parts of their game. No safety in the league is great at both. The best safeties in the league are great at one and good at the other. Harper had a rough start, but at worst he is an average safety, being paid like a top 5 safety.
