Let's see, had LL led the team in tackles (like Reed did) and blew both of those coverages (like he did in the Eagles/Saints and many other games)....he's a STUD!! I simply don't get it. It's mind boggling to say the least.

The premise of your question is flawed. What else do you need to know that Doughty is a tremendous liability in pass coverage? It's like asking, "apart from missing field goals, what "exactly" was wrong with Shaun Suisham?"

For the record, I haven't said one word about Laron Landry in this thread. He's a strong safety, hasn't been stellar in pass coverage in the past, and likely would have been beaten as well. That in no way negates the point about how 'terrible' Reed Doughty is in pass coverage.
