Horton Wins NFC Defensive Player of the Week

Here's some info on Horton from the combine:

NFL Events: Combine Player Profiles - Chris Horton (http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/chris-horton?id=1982#player-profile-tab-set-1:player-profile-tab-overview)

Zorn said that Horton WILL NOT START this week in his press conf.

No one deserves it more. Glad we got him.

Anyone else notice how fast Horton is?

Yes, back when I watched him play for UCLA.

That's why I was so keen on the Redskins signing him.

:food-smil

good for him. hopefully all his new supporters don’t turn on him when he makes a rookie mistake and gets burned.

That is probably why they don't want him out to go against Kurt Warner.
That dude has great long ball vision....not to say Breese doesn't....but dont even try to compare the Saints WR's last week with what the Cardinals have.

Do I have more faith in Horton now....damn straight I do, but he would be targetted heavily against a savy squad of passers and receiver.
I say, start him against teams like the ravens to get used to average pass attacks...lets be honest, the Saints were not fully loaded last week and Horton did just fine.

I put him at SS last night in Madden. Two interceptions and a forced fumble. Art imitating life?

I do think he recovered a blocked punt once, but I could be wrong.

Yeah you are correct. He did in the preseason game...Westbrook couldn't handle it and he came in and got the recovery. Forgot which game it was.

By Zorns comments and waht I've read on the redskins blog. Doughty is starting again. But I we get a big dose of Horton. He just has that ball hawk instinct & mentality and you can't teach that.

I don't know what the coaches see in Doughty. He is slow, always out of place and gets burned just as much as Archuleta did. It's not about what you do in practice but what you do on gameday. Horton showed us something even in preseason from the very moment he hit the field...he had a couple sacks and some very good tackles in his first action. I just hope that Blache isn't so stubborn and old school that he won't make a change much like Zorn did with Jon Jansen. Having said that, I understand the D's motto of "there are no starters". Greg Williams coached the same way. Doughty might know more of the playbook and has a good work ethic, but he is nowhere near Horton in terms of athletic ability. Horton has way more upside and needs to see way more time than RD.

My thoughts exactly.

i don't see how they could have given it to anybody else.just a note on kurt warner,he's started 87 games in the nfl,and he has thrown for over 300 yards in 42 of them.
