The whole freaking defense had a terrible game, why do you people insist on focusing on just doughty? i'm sorry but i don't think a rookie is the answer. if schweigert were still around, he'd be a better option than putting in a rookie.

The thing with Frost is that he can punt really well when his job is on the line. If we cut Brooks, he won't feel the pressure to perform.....Obviously, we can't keep two punters. I think Brooks is our guy.

but i think Doughty will be gone by next year, and the redskins will draft a safety in the high round next year.

If this is a shitty year then the Redskins will either end up with someone from USC weather it be Taylor Mays or Rey Mangula. Not to mention Bill Cowher

We should start a poll...how many losses until we see a "Bring the Chin to DC" thread.

But it's not like Schweigert left on his own terms. He was sent packing because he wasn't a better option than either rookie

True, still I just think people are being unreasonable and have super high expectations of Doughty. And I don't think Horton (as much as I like him) or Moore are a better option than Doughty.

Im sorry but all we have is landry and wont work. he needs at least a capable starter next to him. Doughty just doesn't scare other teams

And two rookies picked in the late rounds will? I have nothing against them, I just don't see them as an option. Maybe in midseason.

Skinny Tee · 08-24-2008, 11:41 PM

Doughty proved himself to be a liability last night. If you review all the long plays for TD he is constantly the breakdown in the defense. He's terrible in pass coverage, proven multiple times last night. He is the deficient player in the secondary and he knows it.

I was disappointed when I heard a safety was cut today and it wasn't him. I know we're vested in him as a starter but teams are starting to realize the weak link in our defense and he is it.

Fair enough. Well, this is something I've been saying for about four years now (much to the scorn of a few here), but I think this year we may see it more than we ever have before. Shawn Springs at FS. Which would slide Landry to SS. I'm not saying that's going to be a permanent starting lineup, just that I could see that look often.

well that does put the skins best 11 defensive players on the field.

Doughty looked like ass last night. He gets exposed in coverage easily. He has looked much better earlier though. Moore is starter talenetd but needs to smartin' up. His angles are often for shit in run support though he does seem to have a better knack in pass coverage. I think we'll see a Moore/Landry combo by season's end. That is if Landry's hammy ever decides to stop being a p**** and heals up.

See this is a much better option...if Doughty is so terrible, then replace him with a better player, not rookies.

Yeah, but this depends a) on how comfortable the team feels about Rogers' knee right now (I think they are fairly pleased) and b) how comfortable they feel with Torrence or Tryon as the nickel back?

Ruhskins · 08-25-2008, 12:33 AM

I'm sure they've thought about it, since they had him play at safety.
