I think Springs could make a great safety, but I also dont think hes at that point in his career where he should be moved, or would want to be moved from corner. If anything he wants another big corner contract, then move to safety in a few years.

I think we'll draft a corner because its alot cheaper.

If Pierson Prioleau follows GW to Tenn. as some suspect Doughty may prove to be an important part of what Blache wants to do on defense. He played in all sixteen games last year, though he only started six [plus one playoff game] and recorded fifty tackles.

There has been some concern in the past about Hamlins' ability to cover, I'm not throughly convinced he would be that much of an upgrade over Doughty. I would prefer looking to the draft for depth at S.

If Pierson Prioleau follows GW its to Jacksonville with the Jags, his new employer.

But Reed's playing time as a starter (after Sean's passing) for a second year player was great, and he improved every game. I believe Reed will continue to improve and be an important part of our defense and a strong special teamer.

NOOO!! They need to keep Landry at free safety!

Our last 2 safeties have been drafted and been stars. Lets keep it up!

No Way to Ken Hamlin. Reed Doughty is just as good as Hamlin but w/o the huge pricetag. Ken Hamlin just isn't worth signing. If Dallas Sh*ty defense doesn't even want him why should we. If he isn't even good enough for Dallas than he sure as heck ain't good enough to play for the Redskins. If we need another safety, we should draft one in the later rounds of the draft. I think we should all have a little more faith in Doughty, he did excellent filling in for Sean Taylor in the regular season and the playoffs.

BTW I've seen people say Landry is the SS and Doughty is the FS but it's the other way around, Gregg Williams kept Landry deep and Doughty in the box. Doughty doesn't have the speed or instincts Landry has so he was constantly brought down into the box to provide extra run support will Landry was our deep man in Cover 1.

Also there are people who think we should move Shawn Springs to safety. Again, No Way. Springs is our best corner and since Carlos Rogers will NOT be ready by the beginning of next season, we will need all the corner help we can get. Without Rogers, Springs is our only corner who can put any receiver on "lockdown" in man-to-man coverage.
