John Lynch is available, should we make a move?

reed's good enough with upside that lynch makes downside makes less than zero sense.

sorry, i'd rather have sean too, but doughty's good enough <SNIP>

I'm happy wth Doughty and Landry, as I think we all will be when we look back in a few months time.

Given what Doughty has to contend with in life (moderate to severe hearing loss washingtonpost.com (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/25/AR2008072503101.html)) he's doing extremely well.

Roy Williams & Lynch are both good football players, tackle & hit, but not great in coverage at this point.

That's just an aside, as for the question at hand; the skins identified safety as a position of need this offseason, just as they did w/wr. Both of those positions have already been addressed & are actually crowded. If you bring Lynch in, somebody's got to go. Who would that be? V. Fox? Horton?

Is that worth it for Lynch to play here 1 year? Not to me, it's time to let the guys in camp compete & know that their only competition is already before them.

Please God no...No...he's old. Let him go do NFL network.

People often get so star struck that they believe that they need a pro Bowl roster from top to bottom to win anything; sometimes they just need dedicated Football players who do their damn job. Doughty is dedicated and he does his damn job.
:cussing:

Awesome!

Doughty was solid last year and should only improve with experience. I'll never understand why some people are so convinced that he's garbage and needs to be replaced. Give the guy a chance for crying out loud.

Dude, this is Washington and it's a "put up or shut up year."

Start performing you mouth exercises. The coaching staff took notice of him before this offseason and before the Taylor tragedy. He was going to earn a position somewhere if not here. Because of the tragedy he got a starting gig here.

Food for thought. What round was Doughty drafted in? What rounds were Horton and Moore drafted in? If you answered 6, 7 and 6 then you would be correct. If you had a need to replace a 6th round safety, then why in the world would you wait until the 6th ad 7th round to find someone to eventually replace him?(don't answer that, it's rhetorical) If we needed someone to subplant Doughty, then they would have drafted a Safety earlier in the Draft. Furthermore, what is the purpose of drafting players in the 6th and 7th rounds?(more rhetoric) Depth.

Doughty did his damn job last season. Nothing more and nothing less. He made tackles when he was supposed to make tackles and defended passes when he needed to defend passes. People often get so star struck that they believe that they need a pro Bowl roster from top to bottom to win anything; sometimes they just need dedicated Football players who do their damn job. Doughty is dedicated and he does his damn job.

I was just about to post something similar.

I have no clue why some think that Moore or Horton are the answers when they were late round picks just like Doughty. :doh:

Naturally there was going to be some fall off from whoever we plugged into the safety spot after four seasons of Sean Taylor. Reed's only fault last season was that he wasn't a 6'3 230 lb athletic freak with good hands, great instincts, and a penchant for knocking the snot out of guys. Reed is good enough for Blache to keep Laron at FS, even after we got a guy in Schweigert who wasn't bad at Oakland. I think Reed and the secondary will be even better with an improved pass rush.

No Deal Howie!

Trouble is some people don't want to even give players the chance to put up or shut up.

For the same reason they think that Brennan was brought in to supplant Campbell. Cuz they's stoopid..
