Great SI Article on Chris Horton

No. Mike Green is our worst coverage safety, and though he's a sure tackler, he doesn't play the run well enough to justify a roster spot unless he was a special teams standout, which he is not.

So Reed gets that spot back then?

Yes, I think he deserves it, regardless of being a mess in deep coverage.

He's a really good blitzer, which is why our blitz schemes worked in the first 5 games. Horton is much better, obviously, but ever since Reed went on IR, we haven't been able to get any pressure via the blitz unless Landry was involved.

And if Landry is blitzing, we probably don't have the TE seam routes covered.
