Reed Doughty: Excellent Tackler

[Ade Jimoh Fan Club]

I must have watched a different game. I saw a number of missed tackles and poor wrapups, especially in run support, from Doughty. He's got a long way to go...

Speaking of which, why is it that our secondary is capable of playing great coverage on one play and then absolultely blowing it the next? Scary.

Finally, there is probably nothing I hate more about today's NFL players than when they celebrate after every play - even bad ones! What I mean is that there were several plays where NYG players were poorly covered but *dropped* the ball - and OUR PLAYERS high-fived and chest butted like they did something GOOD! REDICULOUS!

Brud is gonna' be pissed at you for that.

Anyway, I think Doughty has come in and played extremely well. The chest thumping and stuff, I think every team does that when someone drops a ball. Lame? Yes, but we're not alone at least.

Did you happen to see wade Phillips after Akers missed a field goal in the dallas/philly game? He was swinging his gut to and fro like he just a free meal at the Waffle House.

Very unfortunate about Shockey. Say what you will, he is the emotional leader of the offense and a good TE to boot. The Giants will definitely miss him down the stretch as it gives the inconsistent Manning one less target to throw to.

As far as Shockey taunting Reed, I think it was more out of reverence and respect for Sean Taylor than it was actually putting down Doughtey. I thought it was very classy, if you could say such a thing about Shockey, to have #21 under his eyes.

Well Shockey played at the U so he knows Taylor.

Reed Is A Good Player And He Gives It His All But It Will Be So Hard To Replace Sean At That Poss.he Is Trying So Hard Out There.gotta Give Him Credit.a Good Tackler Yes A Good Hitter He Is Not.go All The Way Redskins!

Anyway, back to Doughty.

I was impressed. He has some work to do, but if he can be a guy Landry can trust (just as Landry was becoming for ST), it's only going to help everyone on D in pass sets.

Speaking of Landry though, is he becoming Carlos Rogers Jr. with dropping INTs?

Speaking of, Doughty had 2 in his hands last night. I won't start w/the Rogers comparisons yet, rather let's take a positive spin on it; these guys are young & are both trying to temper their energy & play w/in themselves. They are probably dropping passes due to their over excitedness (not a word I guess, but you get the point). Eventually, we'll see them get some picks.

Brandon Jacobs, Brandon Jacobs...(Gibbs should have given him a game ball.)

Outside of his exceptional play he is a great guy with a huge heart. I was lucky enough to meet him at training camp as I was standing on the far side of the field after practice. He strolled all the way down to the far side where I was at with some young kids and parents came over and spent almost 10 minutes talking to me. Both him and ARE were down there and it was a great experience.

I got Reed to sign my cap in which I happen to have been wearing last night, and I wore it proud. I think this guy will turn out to be a solid safety and I am proud to have met him. I'm keeping this hat on for the next two games!

I completely forgot about Doughty's backstory:

Disregarding his on-field play, it's nice to see a stand-up guy making it big.

[MTK]

Doughty might end up being a nice find. He's played a lot better so far than I expected him to.

Don't look now guys, but guess who in the Skins has 10.5 sacks? Only 3 back from the lead.
