Goodbye Doughty, Hello Horton!

BleedBurgundy · 09-14-2008, 04:06 PM

So... I'm guessing this should be obvious, but we have a new starting SS now, right? Great game by Horton, an amazing debut.

2 ints and a fumble recovery, plus no obvious lapses in coverage = starter.

yes sir sorry doughty

jsarno · 09-14-2008, 04:12 PM

absolutely...horton has earned another start!

TheSmurfs22 · 09-14-2008, 04:12 PM

I like Doughty but I think Horton earned himself a starting job. He brings a toughness which you need to have back there. Well done Chris!!!!

Touch luck for Doughty, but the rook made a name out there for himself

DynamiteRave · 09-14-2008, 04:14 PM

I am 100% on the Horton train. There's an icy cold bench waiting for you Doughty.

Sean"Big Hurt"Taylor · 09-14-2008, 04:14 PM

Yeah I think we have our starting safety opposite of Landry.

RMSkins · 09-14-2008, 04:14 PM

He better be the starter. I have been advocating the replacement of Reed Doughty as long as I can remember and I said that Horton or Moore will eventually replace him and hopefully my prediction comes true.

SFREDSKIN · 09-14-2008, 04:18 PM

I think he was picked and to sent to us by Sean Taylor, he's a playmaker, ballhawk and can hit. I can't wait to see until he polishes his game.

Let's not go crazy, it was one game. I love the game he played, but every week is different in this league.

I've watched this kid since our first exhibition game and he's a playmaker, he's got it!! The more he plays the better he will get, don't under estimate that he was a 7th round pick, he was a steal and is proving it. He will beat Doughty and possibly Moore before the end of the season. Oh, he can also catch interceptions that our other DB's drop.

Yeah,
he will get burned and make mistakes, he is a rookie after all, in the long run barring injury this guy will considered a steal.
