Your delusional!
I find it funny how many fans forget how bad players are after just a few yrs. So let me help remind you.... Doughty is pretty good at SS lining up on the DL and going after the RB or trying to sack the QB, BUT... Doughty sucks in coverage. He can't cover a plate of mashed potato's. TE's always beat him and are too big for him to cover and he fails in the back field covering WR's.
So basically if you want a SS solely for the responsibility of rushing the QB or covering the RB then fine, but Haslett requires the SS not only to do that but to cover WR's and TE's and in some cases switching off with the FS to cover the back field.
I'll give you another example of people easily forgetting. Grossman. I'll never understand why he's on this team still but there are a few fans who seem to love him. He's old, and one dimensional. Remember he was our starting QB once and teams quickly figured out that he can't run so they stack the box to stop the run and force Grossman to beat them through the air. Folks .... that's one dimensional. Grossman failed which is why the team picked up McNabb, which led to the team picking up RG3 and Cousins.
