A lot of people think it is o.k. to bring back Doughty who is a "never was" and a "never will be" so what would be wrong with giving a "has been" a shot with a minimum contract. At least this guy could bust out of a wet paper bag a couple years ago. The only thing that Doughty gives you is a few tackles on special teams and getting toasted on long completions if he gets isolated.

he did fine for the opportunities he got...

Doughty is a Special Teamer..who because on injuries and a murder..was forced up the depth chart..he has had good moments and bad moments...he
has to win a spot in camp...he has no special edge other than the hard work he's already put in...look how long Ade Jimoh lasted and Reed is exponentially a better talent than he ever was..

They are interchangable. Exponentially better? Give one shred of evidence.

Actually, I take that back. They are not interchangeable. Jimoh had better coverage skills.

Jimoh was supposed to be a corner..only thing was he couldn't shut down
anyone..you want some proof..you tell me one receiver Jimoh could stay with?
I remember Pinkston of the Eagles lighting him up..he only has 2 passes defended in 5 years and averaged less than one tackle a game

but in the terms of viable contribution

they were both special team players that hung on and were forced to play defense...Doughty's 11 tackles vs in the win over the Giants in '07 at Strong Safety was more a contribution than Jimoh ever made...and we went on to make the playoffs with him on the field..when Troy Polamalu makes 11 tackles he makes player of the week

I know what position Jimoh was. I remember when Spurrier drafted him. I know he was lit up a lot but like you mentioned, he was a cornerback. Doughty is a safety. Typically corners have better coverage skills than safeties.

O.k. he had one good game. What about all the games he contributed to losing by getting abused by mediocre pass catchers?

NOOOO Alexander's washed up! we need to get young @ tailback not old , our O-line is already old...

I have said it before, don't be surprised if Doughty gets cut. I think Horton and Moore are better players and much better uses of a roster spot. I like Mike Green more as well.

I guess Kelly, Thomas , Davis and R. El will get cut as well , since they have done nothing , and the three rookies combined have less than half the work ethic of Doughty . I think we get that Doughty is never going to lock up with WR's , but few safeties are . It wont matter much if we don't get lucky and find a DE .

You don't make a team better by signing a liability with a good work ethic.

SA might not be bad as a 3rd down back at this point in his career, except he can't block.

I've kinda bought into JLC's reporting/opinions on the insider; Portis is no longer a home run hitter. Actually, I wonder if betts has more big play potential at this point.

They signed the Aldridge kid, who's a speedster & that's what we need at rb, a young speedy guy that can break big plays.

Seems like we're making a big deal out of nothing, but in the spirit of it all....

WTF??? Why wasn't Marcus Mason at Redskin Park. OMFG!!!!!! He was the greatest running back the Redskins ever had in August and we're letting Shaun Alexander get mail still at Redskin Park!!! Stupid mother****ers!!! There better be some anthrax in his ****ing mail!!! **** Little Danny and his racquetball buddy. We're doomed!!! ****ing doomed!

And will Leigh Torrence choose Washington as his team when he gets into Canton...

Peace brothers. This is barely worth discussing, let alone arguing.

Soooooo you're saying there's a chance Marcus Mason WILL be at Redskin Park?
