If Doughty had caught the two tipped INTs for some reason I think that people would be using that more to downplay the performance, but with Horton he's being crowned a "ballhawk". I just want to see a bit more of him before I'm comfortable saying he's the better option than Doughty.

I know a lot of people are claiming that Horton was simply in the right place at the right time, but the kid was always around the ball in preseason too. I think, at the very least, he's a budding ballhawk. Some players have a natural ability to be around the ball, and Horton seems to be one of them.

If Blache doesn't feel the need to start Horton over Doughty, he damn well better find a way to put him on the field, often.
