How about moving Rogers to free safety?

Last line of defense is the FS's job, covering Tight Ends frequently is done by SS's. So where do you want Horton playing?

FS also picks up or helps on receiver routes, I'd rather have Horton doing SS over FS by far.

Well, I am not a huge Horton fan, honestly. He had one great game. I think he is probably our 4th best safety. Landry, Doughty, Moore, Horton..

Average tight ends on him are a mismatch and I wouldn't sleep a wink if someone told me he had to cover Witten for an entire game. He has no shot against wide receivers either.

He definitely is worth a roster spot but I haven't seen anything from him to think he is going to fix our secondary problems.

I like how Moore hits and I thought he made a great interception against NO before he coughed it up (I think he was down but it doesn't matter at this point....). Moore isn't coming off IR either.

Even if Horton is better than Moore, which is possible, my main point is that I do not envision Horton coming back and making us forget about our FS issues. It is much more likely that Landry steps up and plays the position at a high level.

you and i want the same thing. i really think the sky is the limit for landry he just needs someone to show him the way and blache and gray were doing the opposite, hopefully he will shine through this year otherwise the only thread worth talking about dirty laundry willl be the landry is a bust thread
