I think you make some good points, and much better than some other people who just lash out and insist that Doughty should be cut now and replace him with one of the rookies...that's just not a smart comment. The team has an option of putting Spring at safety, if they feel that Doughty is not cutting it during the regular season. Although, I think having Landry back in, will make Doughty a better player. As I've repeatedly said, Doughty is an average player, you take away Landry and he's not going to carry this team.
I agree that he is average and probably will stay that way his whole career. But I don't think that other teams really had a chance to game plan to attack Reed he was thrown the fire after ST died. Now teams had more film on him and will see the Carolina game were he struggled in the passing game.

The thing that was really disappointing to me was how bad he played against the run, the pass I have come to kind of expect that but how he played against the run my hell.

I think the last of the five cuts will be Goode. I dont see why you keep him when he wont make the team barring injuries. He cant play so what is the point. If they like him they can put him on the practice squad.

Doughty has already been exposed as the player he is, a special teams ace/3rd safety, he is nothing more than that. It's not going to matter if Landry is in the game or not, they have two different assignments. Landry isn't going to be able to do his assignment correctly if he has to compensate for Doughty's weaknesses. Simply put, Doughty is a liability as a starter. I have no problem with Doughty coming in on obvious run plays but other than that he doesn't really have any business playing everydown.
I say we should try to move Kareem Moore to SS, so we can keep Landry at FS, a position at which he clearly excels. That way we have our two best coverage safeties on the field, then have Doughty/Horton come in on run plays and blitz packages. Also, I am against moving Springs to FS because then we have to move Landry back to SS. Plus with Rogers health concerns we can't afford to move Springs to safety.

Does anyone here know how the Skins are against the cap? As we start to see people cut Washington may need to add a veteran back LB.

Yup, it's true. I know they liked him but he never could make much of an impression beyond practice. Oh well, my Maurice Mann Bandwagon lives another day!!!! :)

I can't figure out why they have kept Devine around this long, especially with all the depth issues they've had at LB.
