Mike Doss

I think he's worth a look...

[GMScud]

It's kind of a shame. He was so awesome at OSU. He just can't stay healthy. If he's a free agent I'm all about inviting him to camp. But all the leg injuries he's had, for a speed position player, he's a longshot at best.

Mike Doss would still be way better the Reed Doughty

Not in this lifetime! I'd have to pass on Doss.

See I disagree about Doughty. What he lacks in size and physical gifts he makes up for with smarts and toughness. He's one of my favorite players.

great college career, no telling about the knees though. I would like to see any movement at safety.

I rewatched the game vs Minnesota last night and even though the box was stacked, Doughty showed up big time. He was on the QB a lot, he was in on tackles, he was picking up signals and helping direct his fellow players. He may never been an electric player but the dude is definitely smart and tough.

does the top of this site say "discussion for the knowledgeable fan" or what?

a key contributor to us making the playoffs last season was doughty holding his own at SS along with landry playing very well at the FS position.

Doss is a scrub.

Hes worth the vet minimum but no more than that

[doman29@hotmail.com]

He is worth a vet min contract and let him battle it out with Doughty in training camp and if he beats out Doughty in training camp then offer him a better contract

Won't be much of a battle. Doughty knows the system and will probably be even better next year due to his training regimine as well as the fact that he has around 6 or 7 games as a starter all games in which he earned high marks from the coaching staff, the only opinion that really matters.

I mean whats your problem with Doughty, is it because he was a 6th round pick? Do you need a higher rated safety on your team for your Madden franchise?

We went through this exact situation with Adam Archletta. We had a good compliment to Taylor in Ryan Clark and what do we do? We sign Adam Archuletta to a big fat contract and let Clark go to the Steelers. By the middle of the season most of the fan base realized that letting Clark go was a mistake. Now we're faced with a similar situation, in that we have a great compliment to our star safety in Doughty. The only difference is this time the front office isn't bringing in some big name to compete with Reed.

One things for sure, if a "big name" is released part of the fan base will be all over the guy screaming vet min. I mean last year Leftwich gets released and the fan base starts screaming "vet min we have no one behind Campbell, we can develop him." Erasmus James, 5 sacks in 23 career games, "lets get him, what do you mean Chris Wilson got 6 sacks last year?" Roy Williams is rumored to be leaving Dallas when his contracts up, lets get him, he's great in coverage.

Koren Robinson vet min
Adam Arcuhletta released by the Bears vet min

I mean damn, everytime. I guess part of me has come to accept it, that this is the way things are but still I can't believe how predictable this phenomenon has become.

Im all for upgrading at every position as well as depth, but Mike Doss is not the answer either way....Im a Doughty fan for his tenacity, he made the team, he studied and fought to become a starter...unless one of the rookies can unseat him(Kareem Moore,,Chris Horton.. Doughty is my choice as starter at SS

[Silverfox]

This is not the Mike Doss that played the 1st 3 yrs for the Colts - in 2005 I would have supported signing him, but not this year. I don't see him beating Doughty.- may be worth the "vet min".

Doughty is not a heavy hitter at the safety spot to me a safety should always play the great late ST and Ronnie Lott. And to me Doughty doesn't bring any of those qualities at safety
