A tad unfair. Did you see the play he was all over Witten and he still made the catch? If his hand had only been a couple of inches over, he'd have broken that pass up and you'd be hailing it as a great play. I do think Horton is a better player, but let's not be too hard on Doughty.

Actually I thought I was being nice enough lol. I did see that play, I wasn't being too hard on him. The number of bad plays > the number of good plays, that's all imo. And doing the "if" scenario does no good, the fact remains his hand didn't go far enough to tip the ball so it was still a bad play. You're right, it would've been a good play if he had tipped that pass, but it wasn't and it cost us.

That coverage on Witten doesn't get any better.

People just look for anything to rag on Doughty.

Couldn't agree more. I only saw one bad play on his part yesterday (whiffing at the line on the jam) but several good open-field tackles and he played deep well when they were in the Cobra D (3 safeties).
