From what I saw, Reed Doughty for the most part was in position on coverage, supported the run well and looked solid. He did his job and considering where the Redskin secondary is right now, that's pretty good. If I was in the Redskin organization, I wouldn't panic and pick a safety high in the draft, I might go for help later in the draft. The defensive line and offensive line need more help.

The guy that scares me is LeeTorrence. He plays a soft corner, playing way back off the receiver. He is tentative in his coverage and seems afraid to jump a route when he is in position. A serious liability in coverage and obviously the G-Women were aware of it because they were going after him constantly. Luckily the wind save his butt.
