Reed's greatest strength is his intelligence, a three time Scholastic All American. He does not have great speed but plays on good angles to the ball. Effective on the run, questionable on pass coverage and a beast on special teams.

They should put Landry in Taylors spot to play deep coverage and put Doughty at Strong Safety. Landry is just as fast as Taylor, he can cover, and he's a hard hitter. I know he'll probably never be as good as Taylor, but if anyone on our team can replace him, it's Landry.I thought the same thing about Landry. His speed will allow him to range sideline to sideline the way Taylor did. I hope all of our safeties play big the rest of the year - it would be a nice tribute to Sean.

There is a Reason Landry was sent to Blitz so often,since Rogers likes to play 10 yards off the ball and springs has a hard time defending the deep ball,wouldnt they have put landry out to help the CBs with Taylor??

Above all else, Doughty is a guy who will leave it all on the field and (dare I say it) fight his guts out. As most everyone who knows his story is aware, he has a lot of reasons to fight for a job. Last year I called Doughty the anti-B.Lloyd and I hope he earns that title in the next six games.
Nobody can fill Sean Taylor's shoes. Reed Doughty knows this, so do the coaching staff, and so do opposing offensive coordinators. But, I'd rather have a guy out there who has heart and something real to play for, than a lot of other NFL DB's.

i feel bad for Doughty cause he Is the guy that everone will look at when theres a big play and say "if sean was still here, that wouldnt have happend"
i think we all owe it to Doughty to remember how Talented Taylor was and go easy on Doughty, Taylors talent is unparalleled so we cant expect 37 to keep up with 21's past abilities

Reed is a sure tackler but not a very good coverage guy. is it crazy if Williams switch Reed and Landry. The taylor shoes are way too big to be filled but this could stop the secondary bleeding a lil?

While I did say that Landry is a much better run stopper and playing up close to the line like a true SS, I do agree with this. Landry is still young and might be susceptible to getting burnt but not as much as I think Reed would be. Reed is a sure tackler and he is used to throwing his body into the fray, I think Reed would make a decent SS at the least.
