Suspect Safety Play
Does anyone else see that Reed Doughty is a defensive liability?

Re: Suspect Safety Play
So when Moore comes back, does he solve all our problems or will he be the next goat?

Re: Suspect Safety Play
Lots of investments need to be made in the defensive secondary. They are great at doing everything but their most basic assignment -- coverage.

Re: Suspect Safety Play
IMO Moore is an average NFL FS, but we'll see. Regardless, FS should be a main priority in the off-season.

Re: Suspect Safety Play
Why do people think that Kareem Moore is the second coming of Ed Reed. Folks, he's a starter, but not a huge upgrade.

Re: Suspect Safety Play
Moore hasn't proven anything yet, he is what he is because of a spot he won in training camp and preseason. Our safetys are all mostly still Vinny guys. Doughty is on the field because thats all we have. Its going to take a couple more years to finish cleaning up after him.

You can't be mad at Doughty on the 4th and 10 play. Andre Johnson wins that jumpball matchup against any DB in the league. My question is why didn't Buchanon stay with Andre? It kinda negates the purpose of a double team if the other DB drops coverage. Now they have to go back and re-examine the coverage and what the HECK was Buchanon thinking! |

Re: Suspect Safety Play
I know he doesnt solve all our problems, but he is an upgrade at the very least. All I heard all camp was this guy is stepping up and making plays and at the free position you flat out need a better athlete than Reed.

Re: Suspect Safety Play
Reed Doughty and Horton are backups for a reason. I think Moore being more athletic and more physical will make a difference.

Re: Suspect Safety Play
Well, this is obvious. Reed has a good heart and is a nice guy, but he just does not have the talent. It's really not the AJ play on the 4th down--that's one that AJ is going to make. He's a monster. And the throw was amazing--watch it again if you can stomach it.
We need to upgrade. Moore may be the guy, but we have NO idea at this point until he plays a few games. And obviously, this is part of the depth problem that Vinny kindly left us with. We are being exposed when our starters go down. That's gonna take years to fix, I'm afraid. And as scowan says, man, if that's #21 back there, ya gotta believe we get a different ending. RIP, Sean. We miss you, man.
