True, still I just think people are being unreasonable and have super high expectations of Doughty. And I don't think Horton (as much as I like him) or Moore are a better option than Doughty.

Fair enough. Well, this is something I've been saying for about four years now (much to the scorn of a few here), but I think this year we may see it more than we ever have before. Shawn Springs at FS. Which would slide Landry to SS. I'm not saying that's going to be a permanent starting lineup, just that I could see that look often.

well that does put the skins best 11 defensive players on the field.

See this is a much better option...if Doughty is so terrible, then replace him with a better player, not rookies.

Yeah, but this depends a) on how comfortable the team feels about Rogers' knee right now (I think they are fairly pleased) and b) how comfortable they feel with Torrence or Tryon as the nickel back?

If Rogers is strong enough to start the opener at CB, moving Springs to FS gets our best 4 DBs on the field. After Doughty's performance Saturday, I hope that this is given strong consideration.
