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.
