Obviously he's a back up, back ups don't have to be great, they have to be average. Of course a lot of people have that image of him being burned by Larry Fitz, but then again he's the best wideout in the league.Not to mention that Landry bit on another route. It was a clear cover one "Angel" scheme called, with Doughty underneath, and that's why he was running with Fitz.
He's so unbelievably slow though. I make that throw for a TD, easy ;)

Smart pick up. We know that our defense works with him in the line up. I'm sure he signed for a min contract and he will have to compete for a job. He is a smart player, good on special teams, and a good tackler.
Good move for depth and teams.

He is painfully slow and in my opinion a below-average tackler, however he IS football smart and hopefully that and his leadership will rub off on our "young" group of starting players of the secondary.

to me Reed looked like a marginal player at best

I dont really know if Doughty is versitile enough of a player to have resigned. He, like Horton, can only play Strong safety. Kareem Moore can only play FS. Landry mostly played at FS last year, but is better suited to be a SS. IMO we are pretty thin at FS right now and we would have been better off signing a marginal FS safety than a marginal SS one.

GMScud, you are right about what could have been. What a tragedy for so many reasons.
Doughty has great heart and I love that. Otherwise he is...so...painfully...slow.
oh my god this man is slow.he gets burned for the big one every time if he plays that means our depth is a real problem

Surprising...I thought he had played his last skins game. Anyway...he's an okay backup and special teamer. If he beat out Horton and became the starter then i would say we had problems.

By the way, how cool is it that Dave Butz Jr. is Doughty's agent?

I don't mean to quible but, Doughty and Horton played both SS and FS during pre-season and Horton saw action last year during games at FS for a few plays when Landry was blitzing.
So i don't think your statement is accurate.
Doughty and Kareem Moore also saw action last year in the Cobra package as SS/LB/CB hybrids.
Landry has always been a FS, he only played SS b/c Taylor (rip) was a Pro-Bowl FS.
With Landry, Horton, Doughty and Moore i'm happy with the depth at Safety, my only concern is with Doughty's injury i wish they could have found a way to keep Springs b/c he was an insurance policy at S.
