Previously, it was Robert Henson who made a fool of himself on Twitter when he was a member of the Redskins.
Now, safety LaRon Landry may be making a mistake by intimating the Redskins’ training staff is partly to blame for his slow return from a hamstring injury after his Achilles’ was healed.
In separate Twitter postings this weekend, which have since been deleted, Landry wrote (per the Washington Post):
“Uuhhh oo it ain’t my fault…blame the genius circus staff for the rush. Would’ve been there 2wks ago. Im [sorry] but saga [continues].”
And …
“Dont u hate when u absolutely know something 200% and dumb…still do the opposite of what u tell them!!! Set backs... !!!”
Landry went through part of the practice on Monday and did not speak to reporters. A source told CSNwashington.com that Landry did some work but the hamstring “got a little tight.”
Landry has yet to go through a full practice in training camp/preseason and isn’t expected to play against the New York Giants.
Landry, who said Monday he would talk to reporters on Wednesday, will likely deny the Twitter posts were aimed at the Redskins’ training staff. Consider …
* The training staff had no contact with Landry during the lockout per NFL rules.
* Landry was on the physically unable to perform list until Monday, meaning he was not allowed to practice.
* And when he hurt the hamstring before the game at Indianapolis, it was doing a sprint.
It’s always dangerous to take Twitter posts as fact, but it raises an interesting flag, especially since Landry is soon due a new contract.
He also said that the Achilles was fine, which would have been what he was treated for. I heard on the radio that he was going all out training in Indy, then he pulls a hammy? I don't get how the medical staff was supposed to stop that from happening.

Who cares. People make mistakes all the time. Even doctors. Sure, should Landry have called them a derogatory name, probably not...the guy is frustrated. I bet Landry just had a bad day and lost his cool for a sec. I mean, I can understand, the reporters at Redskins park are probably hounding him with 100 questions a day, every day, about his injuries and why and what happened...cross examining the guy's every response.

Can we please just focus on football. It's mostly Redskins fans who read articles on Laron Landry, and we don't like a negative article about our pro bowl, first round pick...The tweet has been erased.... Who knows, maybe a Cowboys fan broke into his home and tweeted from Landrys phone...Prolly not, but...I mean, I guess it does need to be reported...but...it was such a great run of positivity coming out of redskins park. No more Haynesworth, McNabb controversy...everything seemed to be getting better.

Laron Landry is 100% in the wrong on this one, from what I heard he was in practice and pushed himself beyond what he was suppose too and re-injured himself. I believe his comments where more out of frustration that he won't be able to play than the injury itself.
But a guy that upset he won't be able to help his team get a win against a division rival is they type of guy I want on this team for the long term, rather than I guy I want to debate weither or not we should resign.

The guy needs to slow down on the roids and be a football player instead of trying to be a body builder.Maybe then he wont be hurt all the time.Note to all pro athletes,get off of twitter.Will you guys never learn.
