If they do a good job with their draft picks this year, don't be surprised if Doughty is cut.

to make room for Keith Davis?

meh. hes 30. He'd be a backup/special teamer here and id rather have as many of those guys be youngsters. On the other hand, we do have an incredibly young secondary (starters and backups) right now so maybe we'd want some veteran leadership.

Says he brings toughness and leadership to the defense and special teams. If our gain contributes to the Cowgirls loss......why not?

Reed Doughty reminds me a lot of Archuletta. He's good against the run but sucks in coverage. If we use him to stop the run and rotate him with Horton for coverage it should work out well for us.

Archuletta before his injuries was 10 times the player that Doughty is.

I wasn't talking about his injuries. What I was saying is that we didn't use him the same way the Rams did.

I understand that. Both can't cover anybody but Archuletta with the Rams was extremely athletic and was a playmaker. He was useless as a starting safety with us just like Doughty.

I know that some people seem to love this guy but I don't think that a guy who can make a few tackles on special teams should be on the roster. I would rather have a guy with some upside.

Hopefully we nail the draft and Morroco Brown finds some gems so that Doughty gets pushed out. Then I know the talent evaluators are earning their checks.

All this talk for a backup safety?
