Yup, Reed survived the purging of a regime change with coaches that owed him no allegiance.

But he should be a backup only. Having him start would speak negative volumes about our talent/skill level at safety.

Reed has been a capable starting SS, just not well liked or appreciated by fans.
2011-11 starts
2010-9 starts
2009-7 starts

I would love it if we found a Safety or 2 that are better then Doughty.
Nothing would make me happier.
I just question whether the guys we brought in are them.
Its gonna be an interesting competition to watch.

Reed is okay but we need a FS that can cover like a corner.

Hopefully Cedric Griffin can fill that role. He has experience playing corner and he's slated to play safety this season.

Cedric Griffin was a poor coverage corner that couldn't tackle.
I don't understand why people think he can play FS.

As far as Doughty's being a "capable" starter - I appreciate his attitude. I appreciate his grit. I appreciate his understanding of the defense. I appreciate his discipline. I appreciate his play recognition. What I don't appreciate is his speed, which seems to always leave him one step too late in arriving.

Takes bad angles too. Reed and Rocky needed to take remedial geometry.
