A new article on Landry caught my attention today for three reasons- 1) It quoted our boy Travis as a main source 2) Landry said Gase treated him horrible....which if you really read between the lines, you'll understand why Landry (and his diva attitude) were traded. 3) It states that Cleveland is using Landry as a WR1 split to the outside running the entire route tree. Here's the full article- https://bleacherreport.com/articles...ulture-begged-adam-gase-for-bigger-route-tree
Kid is a liar... One of our beat writers said it was quite habitual and everyone knew it.. Makes sense now. He even lies to himself, case in point..” I’m the best receiver in the league”” Or this beauty..” I’m more than a slot, I can play outside” Hey Jarvis this is for you thinking you can play outside....LOL
Looking at it from the outside, it seems to me that Landry was taking things a little too personal when it comes to his route tree. Gase has said that he looks at short passes like runs and I think he views them as interchangeable. Therefore, as Travis came up with, it's not surprising that passes to Landry averaged like only 3 or 4 yards. Gase probably views them as high percentage throws, and wants receivers to try and get yards after the catch because they may have more space to work with. IMO, it's the design of the offense, not something he was trying to screw Landry over with.
What I got from the article was that Landry was marching into Gase's office frequently and telling him how to run the offense (centered all around him, of course). Then he doesn't understand why Gase would react negatively to a player ordering the head coach around. AKA- he's freaking delusional. As I've said before, he probably can play outside with some success in the right offense, but there's just no way he's going to be a true #1 type. Gase used Landry perfect for his talents and I'm looking forward to him facing reality.
Guy went from kiving in South Beach to Gotham City. Of course he is bitter. And had we paid him the ridiculous contract he got from Cleveland im sure he would be praising Gase and Tannehill right now. The good thing is it exposed his character. He is a weak minded character. And he truly is the trent richardson of WR’s. Good luck in cleveland, Josh Gordon will be drawing all the attention so your career is safe over there. Im sure Devante and Hartline both wish Gordon didnt smoke so much grass and then maybe they would still be in the NFL.
