"Over the last three years, he has appeared in ten games for the Bears." Appeared in 10 games over 3 years? What? Special teams? A series in garbage time? Sounds a little shaky.

Landry is a good player, he was playing out of position at Baylor he had to gain around 40 lbs to play NT. In 2021 he went from starter to backup when Baylor signed LSU 4* NT Siaki Ika from the portal. Baylor’s roster has Ika 6’4 350 lbs while Landry comes in at 6’1 285 lbs.

Landry was replaced by a really good player. Ika was Big 12 newcomer of the year and is a player that will probably get picked in the top 3 rounds of the draft.

Landry will come in with DL experience where he was playing NT. Playing as a undersized NT will help him when he moves over to a DT position.

This is a good pickup. Even if he doesn’t start he will get a lot of playing time. He is probably a better pickup than Jernigan.

So yeah, Baylor added a tremendous interior nose tackle, something they didn’t have on the 2020 roster where that position was manned by a mix of Ryan Miller (6-2 290) and Josh Landry (6-1 285). This is no slight to either of those guys (Landry was actually Baylor’s best DL last year by a good margin, in my opinion), they just don’t have the frames you want for a nose tacke.

quote:
Because Baylor brings back basically everyone, the only real question is how do the DL slot into a TITE front with the addition of Ika? The toughest question for me is where Josh Landry will play, given that he’s sort of a tweener that isn’t an ideal fit as either a nose tackle or a 4i. My best guess is that he plays as a backup NT and Baylor doesn’t play him over the OC when he comes in.
