I’m hearing that LaRon Landry will start at strong safety today with Kareem Moore taking over at free safety.

This is no knock at usual strong safety Reed Doughty, but a reflection of Landry’s struggles in downfield coverage, particularly last week against New Orleand when he got burned on two long touchdowns.
