Roy Williams continues to make Pro Bowls on reputation too. We all know that he's one of the weakest players in the league at his position. (Or perhaps it's just magnified because he's such a high profile player) John Lynch hasn't been the same guy he was in Tampa for a long time, I feel like the Skins could put him to good use, but he'd be a waste. You need to let guys learn how to play, now should Doughty fall on his face, we might be wishing that we had made him an offer, but I just don't see that happening.

If Reed Doughty were going to have a letdown I feel like it would have happened last season. It would have been easy enough to have him wash out when trying to replace a guy that he looked as a mentor. (When Sean was killed he said that Sean reached out to him and tried to help him and it meant the world to Reed) He could have easily showed that he didn't have what it took, but he came and did his job. He may not be some playmaking, big hitting, spectacular football player, but he's where he's supposed to be on the field and he's going to make the plays he's supposed to make. That's all that we really need at SS because Laron can be the playmaker at free. All in all, if he turns into another Ryan Clark, I'll be more than happy with Reed Doughty.
