Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
He is better than Doughty.

Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
One thing I love about Horton is the way he absolutely BLOWS UP oncoming blockers. I've seen linemen and giant fullbacks go down from his hits.

Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
I was skeptical of Horton's early success but I have to admit he seems to be the real deal now. Hell of a steal in the 7th round.

Horton has been huge pickup. Huge. If Reinhart plays well over the next few weeks and the rookie WRs start to become more integrated, our draft grade for '08 will keep rising.

Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
Like I said months ago, Sean sent him to us and he won't disappoint. I believe that this is only the beginning to a very promising career in the NFL.

Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
Best draft pick we have made since Sean Taylor.

Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
With our drafts, not sure this really says much.
![]() I think Horton is a good player that has been in the right spot at the right time with some of his interceptions. He is an awesome pick for where we got him, but not in the PB category yet. I do agree our linebackers and secondary have done an awesome job considering most QBs have time for a picnic before they have to throw the ball most of the time. That makes the job almost impossible since eventually receivers will get open, you can't cover them forever. If we could just improve our pass rush this defense would be a beast. |

Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
He's sure impressed me. I heard his stock fell after a bad 40 time but on the field he looks fast. Hell of a run support safety, and can cover a bit. I know he's better than adam archuletta and doughty in coverage, but haven't seen him cover enough to know what he's made of there.

Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
I can now say I was right about this kid. I took some crap from Doughty fans on this blog saying this kid had some talent (but thats cool). The most imporotant thing is Horton made one of our weaknesses coming into the season, a strength. He will never be a Sean Taylor but with improved coverage skills he'll be a damn good player in the future.

Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
I am VERY happy with our safety tandem. I expect Batman and Robin to be wreaking havoc for many years to come! And let's not forget Kareem Moore. We have great young talent at the safety position.

Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
I actually liked Kareem Moore better than Chris Horton when we first made our picks. I think Kareem really showed some potential to be a really solid safety in preseason and it's a shame that he's stuck behind a Pro Bowl-caliber safety in LaRon Landry because I think he could be a pretty good safety in this league.

Re: Great SI Article on Chris Horton
Maybe Kareem Moore progresses enough that you can move Horton to any of the 3 LB positions when Marcus exits the premises or Fletch calls it a day? Just a thought.
