Replacement
Landman put together a stout day in run defense by consistently filling interior gaps downhill, though minor lapses in space kept his overall mark at 67.5.
Landman's grade was propelled primarily by a solid performance in run defense (72 grade), where he consistently diagnosed interior flow and triggered downhill to limit gains, such as his Q1 4:11 A-gap collision with J.K. Dobbins. He had a few hiccups when forced to work laterally, misreading mesh on a Q3 3:52 jet sweep and taking an inside angle on a 19-yard RJ Harvey checkdown at Q2 4:15. However, he rebounded nicely in coverage (62 grade) late in the game, highlighted by a sharp trigger and tackle in the flat at Q4 1:22. Fifty neutral reps rounded out a dependable, gap-sound showing.
