Colt needs someone to run plays with. Let him have the dream of playing one more season while grunting in a camp. Then cut him in August. MTK 03-14-2009, 09:52 AM the guy was the softest 6'3" running back in the history of the league. just retire already except he's 5'11 Skins fan 44 03-14-2009, 10:37 AM If he want to still play for us, let him have a try out and we can always cut him in the preseason. I dont think if he has anything left but if he could be like a Gerald Riggs he could stay. 53Fan 03-14-2009, 10:42 AM except he's 5'11 :laughing- He's awful short for his height isn't he? terpsez11 03-14-2009, 09:49 PM What did he do that was terrible? He had 11 carries. How could it hurt to bring him in during the pre-season. A lot of people think it is o.k. to bring back Doughty who is a "never was" and a "never will be" so what would be wrong with giving a "has been" a shot with a minimum contract. At least this guy could bust out of a wet paper bag a couple years ago. The only thing that Doughty gives you is a few tackles on special teams and getting toasted on long completions if he gets isolated. he did fine for the opportunities he got... Doughty is a Special Teamer..who because on injuries and a murder..was forced up the depth chart..he has had good moments and bad moments...he has to win a spot in camp...he has no special edge other than the hard work he's already put in...look how long Ade Jimoh lasted and Reed is exponentially a better talent than he ever was..

They are interchangable. Exponentially better? Give one shred of evidence. Actually, I take that back. They are not interchangeable. Jimoh had better coverage skills.

He has accomplished more than any Redskin running back in the last 17 years. If I could have a softer back who would win an MVP and take us to the Superbowl I would trade for him tomorrow. tryfuhl 03-15-2009, 06:09 AM guys he's not on the final roster, it's okay terpsez11 03-15-2009, 09:33 AM They are interchangable. Exponentially better? Give one shred of evidence. Actually, I take that back. They are not interchangeable. Jimoh had better coverage skills. Jimoh was supposed to be a corner..only thing was he couldn't shut down anyone..you want some proof..you tell me one receiver Jimoh could stay with? I remember Pinkston of the Eagles lighting him up..he only has 2 passes defended in 5 years and averaged less than one tackle a game but in the terms of viable contribution they were both special team players that hung on and were forced to play defense...Doughty's 11 tackles vs in the win over the Giants in '07 at Strong Safety was more a contribution than Jimoh ever made...and we went on to make the playoffs with him on the field..when Troy Polamalu makes 11 tackles he makes player of the week Pocket$ $traight 03-15-2009, 10:25 AM Jimoh was supposed to be a corner..only thing was he couldn't shut down anyone..you want some proof..you tell me one receiver Jimoh could stay with?

I remember when Spurrier drafted him. I know he was lit up a lot but like you mentioned, he was a cornerback. Doughty is a safety. Typically corners have better coverage skills than safeties. O.k. he had one good game. What about all the games he contributed to losing by getting abused by mediocre pass catchers?
