lol I do admire him for being hearing impaired though. That's a huge hurdle to overcome.

Doughty is hearing impaired. He plays without his aid so he has to watch the ball and read lips to understand whats going on.

Unless you're being facetious.

Facetious

A fairly non-politically correct joke, but it's all in good fun.

lol To tell you how much of a fan I am, I actually saw the fourth preseason game... live... in 100 level seats... and didn't get hammered drunk so I could focus on players who won't be here tomorrow...

I think the defense uses hand signals. And Doughty says his hearing impairment makes it so he watches the ball being snapped instead of a hard count.

Fletcher use hands signals when he calls out an audible. Listening to QBs counting can draw players to go offsides, it is better to watch the ball. I hope you don't think that being deaf will affect player's abilities to play football well, or any other sports.

That is what Reed is, but with the constant injury history of LL the last few years he starts more than he comes in for relief. As a backup he provides teams ability and like someone else said he is a sound tackler and possess great fundamentals.

I can't lie I have been waiting for someone to replace him, and it seems that the coaches have as well with all the safeties we brought in. We shall see if they think someone can replace him. I can't answer that question.

I can really only see BM and T Jax As locked into the roster.
