A lot of people think it is o.k. to bring back Doughty who is a "never was" and a "never will be" so what would be wrong with giving a "has been" a shot with a minimum contract. At least this guy could bust out of a wet paper bag a couple years ago. The only thing that Doughty gives you is a few tackles on special teams and getting toasted on long completions if he gets isolated.

I completely disagree.

First off, Reed played well when he stepped in when we lost ST. And has always been a solid teamer. So I don't get the never has or will be part? Yes he lost his starting job to a better Horton. But, we found a diamond in the rough in the late round of the draft. GREAT PICK for us!

Give SA another chance will it hurt,of course not. But he was something and turned to nothing. Point blank, theres a reason no other team in the league will pick him up for even vet min don't you think. We gave him a shoot when Betts went down he had 11 carries for 24 yards, 2.1 avg. I would have to think that was a good chance (maybe last) to prove he still had something left in the tank.
