I just don't understand why some are so eager to push him out.

Its the jimoh factor..the ability to give up that td or big play that couldve sealed the game. Plus i think some people are still missing sean.
I just dont see anything in doughty that ever makes me be like...wow...great play!!! Sure hes in on a few runs, but horton punishes people his reaction time is better, and although he probably makes his fair share of mistakes, perhaps even more than the wily vet doughty does, i think its the glimme that he could turn into a spectacular playmaker on defense. You want to get your playmakers out there.
No doubt horton will learn and make mistakes and doughty plays a role in this defense as a leader and mentor. BUT horton is faster, more intense and 3 years in doughty should be at his peak by now...weve SEEN what the man can do. Hes solid...i wouldnt want him to go to another team. But i would rather see horton in there on the coverage and doughty stuffing the run
