Suspect Safety Play

Doherty had a rough day but the corners were worse IMO. Rogers got abused by Walter. And why is Buchannon on this team? He's down right awful. Why did they keep him over Tryon and why is he playing over Barners? You know you're bad when Detroit (who has the worst defense I've ever seen) let him go.

Our defensive needs maybe greater after this season. I'm very curious to see how this offseason plays we could be losing Rogers & McIntosh to add to our defensive woes. Doughty does have major coverage issues but he, Horton & Landry are pretty decent SS. Someone explain why didn't we go after O.J Atogwe this offseason?

Reed doughty just isn't great at the FS position. He's always impressed me in previous years at SS; he's a pretty good tackler and blitzer from that spot, but he has never really been good playing FS, and the last couple weeks that has really been exposed. Really, really miss #21.

I can think of one DB who wins that jump ball. Go to 2:25 of the following:

That was a jump ball against a young Randy Moss!!!


Damn, why in the hell did you have to post this? Man I miss that guy, could have been the greatest!

Being a DeMatha alum, I would love to see the Skins draft Kenny Tate as a tall/rangy/athletic FS.

DeMatha! I am alum myself. What class?

Reed is trash, has been since I can remember. He's mediocre at best. What he did yesterday pissed me off beyond belief - in fact, I'm still pissed.

How do you stand there and just watch the #1 WR in the league go up for the ball and not even attempt to deflect it or pick it off. If anything it looked like his ass was ducking out of the way. Get your arm up in there and rip his arm down so it falls.

I mean if he would have tried, then I wouldn't be so pissed.

Zones have natural soft spots and right now we're getting picked apart, granted by good QBs and WRs. Haslett has been super aggressive with the front 7 and might need to start dialing that back a bit.

We were getting killed in the second half when we WEREN'T being aggressive it seemed to me.

Reed Doughty and Horton are backups for a reason. I think Moore being more athletic and more physical will make a difference.

Perfectly stated.
Doughty and Horton have physical shortcomings that makes them good situational players and special team greats. But they are not every down/every situation type safety's.
Kareem Moore shows promise with his athleticism. We have not seen enough of him to say of he will be "the answer", but he is closer to the answer than Doughty and Horton are showing. Will Moore stay healthy?
Lets see how Kareem does this year.
DB's will get beat from time to time. It is not always their fault (scheme, mis-communication, lack of pass rush). To be fiar we are blitzing a ton and putting a lot of pressure on our DB's.
I did not like the all out blitz on the critical 3rd and 15 that they converted. I think we can blitz one or two and still cover on that play. All out blitz was not necessary.
