Think it would be possible for a Barnes / Landry combo? God knows Barnes HAS to be an upgrade over Doughty.

Being a corner, he sure can at least cover better.

Doughty reminds me of good ol' Archuleta.

Yeah but Doughty is an actual back up/special teams player and we didn't play an arm and a leg for him.

Well I'd like to have him as a FS instead of Moore. Doughty is a back up SS and that's it. It'd be nice to have Barnes develop into a true FS with good coverage skills. I think he tackles pretty well.

It looks like that might work. I want to see Barnes challenged on picking up routes deep; haven't finished the Jags game yet with how work has been this week. He seems to know where to be and if he could arrive there a bit earlier he could really make some more plays rather than just stops at the point of impact. Part of that will be more experience at the position and more studying of the role. Of course with our offseason CB situation(s) he may be forced back into one of those roles, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. We're going to have to replace at least one S and CB
