Still, I'll take it. 2 INTs and a fumble recovery is a nice day at the office.

Being in position and around the ball is not all just luck.

If someone is constantly out of position and giving up big plays, would you just call him "unlucky"? Of course not.

Agreed. If people want to call it luck, then Horton must have a horse shoe up his ass, because he was constantly "lucky" in preseason too.

Someone was looking for a nickname for Horton. Maybe .......HorseShoe?

All I'm saying is his performance was not on the same level as a guy who jumped a few routes and made INTs that way. They were tipped balls, not really a good indication of his coverage skills. All in all I was happy with his performance, I would just like to see a bit more of him before I bench Doughty in his favor is all.
