i really hope you are being sarcastic...
landry is a harder hitter then huff but the reason why we got huff is because he is just so damn versatile. he can play every single position in the secondary, ryan doesnt really unleash younger players til they get more experience, he just wants them to learn the position. when he came in nnamdi had a higher learning curve, look at him now, fabian improved, stu has improved even though people wont admit it, morrison became a damn good LB, watch and see howard next year, you'll see.
people just get enamored with future draft picks, at the time everyone was calling huff so many things and i still think he'll be awesome, but when they see he played like a rookie, made some mistakes but learned, they just assume he sucks and wants the next best thing, then if landry plays, he will struggle, he will suck, then the next player is gonna be great, rinse, wash, repeat, etc, etc...
also people need to remember, this was the first year our defense was actually how we envisioned it. ryan's first year it was a 3-4 then we went to a 4-3 with brayton and irons at LB, then to a nickel all year and finally we can play a true 4-3 and look how much we improved! i mean if that doesnt give you hope that the players will improve given a good scheme i dont know what will.
landry is a good player, but with him coming out this year and huff last year, there is no doubt about it, huff was and is more highly reguarded due to his versatility.
huff will be more then fine, him along with nnamdi, fabian and stu will create one of the best secondaries in the nfl for quite some time.
