Re: Suspect Safety Play
Doughty surely is being made into a scapegoat.
Do I wish he made the play? Of course! But his coverage was not bad. One of the best receivers in the game used his height advantage to make a great play on the ball. In the end, Doughty did not blow a 17 point lead all by himself.

Let's not kid ourselves though, Doughty is a very good back up and excellent special teamer, but he is not a standout as an every down Free Safety. |

Re: Suspect Safety Play
Doherty had a rough day but the corners were worse IMO. Rogers got abused by Walter. And why is Buchannon on this team? He's down right awful. Why did they keep him over Tryon and why is he playing over Barners? You know you're bad when Detroit (who has the worst defense I've ever seen) let him go.

Re: Suspect Safety Play
Our defensive needs maybe greater after this season. I'm very curious to see how this offseason plays we could be losing Rogers & McIntosh to add to our defensive woes. Doughty does have major coverage issues but he, Horton & Landry are pretty decent SS. Someone explain why didn't we go after O.J Atogwe this offseason?

Reed doughty just isn't great at the FS position. He's always impressed me in previous years at SS; he's a pretty good tackler and blitzer from that spot, but he has never really been good playing FS, and the last couple weeks that has really been exposed. Really, really miss #21.

Re: Suspect Safety Play
Being a DeMatha alum, I would love to see the Skins draft Kenny Tate as a tall/rangy/athletic FS.

Re: Suspect Safety Play
Reed is trash, has been since I can remember. He's mediocre at best. What he did yesterday pissed me off beyond belief - in fact, I'm still pissed.
How do you stand there and just watch the #1 WR in the league go up for the ball and not even attempt to deflect it or pick it off. If anything it looked like his ass was ducking out of the way. Get your arm up in there and rip his arm down so it falls. I mean if he would have tried, then I wouldn't be so pissed.

Re: Suspect Safety Play
I honestly don't feel he tried hard enough. I know it was a mismatch, but looking at the replay it looks more like he duck out of the way. I'm sure I'm coming down on him hard, but I don't like him. He doesn't have the speed IMO.
What the hell is Tapatalk?

Doughty was in the right place at the right time, tried to make a play but got beaten by a player who probably has twice as much talent as RD and just as much heart. As Matty said, to make Doughty the scapegoat is just the fashionable thing to do right now. Buchanon got fooled on the pass and broke off coverage early. Even if Buchanon had bracketed him, I am not convinced, given the ball placement, AJ doesn't make that catch.
