I know what position Jimoh was. 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?
How about as just a special teamer?... the reason both Jimoh and Doughty were even on any roster
Reed blew a fuse in a loss last season got a couple of penalties...and I figured he'd be cut the next day
I hope we never see Doughty at safety.. that extreme situations never arise ..that Landry or Horton never get hurt or god forbid murdered..like ST
I wouldn't mind Jimoh back as a special teamer..but never at corner..

emphatically NO. We do not need two Rock Cartwrights on this team. I've never seen more dancing in the back field except for Rock. Actually can we let Rock go also and either pick up a RB in the draft or use one of the ones we picked up prior to FA.

You must have Rock confused with ARE....
There is no comparing the these two players. SA has done an awful lot in career no denying that, but I think hes done. Rock on the other hand has been a good KO return guy and solid teamer/leader for the SKINS.
With that said, they brought in Dorsey for one reason to challenge at the position. It will be interesting to see how that plays out he does have the potential to be a really good threat to Rocks future in the KO return specialist,#2/3 RB role.

There is no way Rock is better then Betts. Both have their issues. Betts likes to fumble atleast once a game but he atleast will try to run down hill. He may get only 1-4 yrds but he atleast goes N/S.
Rock on the other hand.....is more of an E/W runner. How people have forgotten seeing him in preseason dancing in the back field running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Yes he will break one a game for like 40-50 yrds but he's not that good. Everytime I see him I think of how he takes one step forward and two steps back until he breaks his one long run then he's done.
As far as a KR yes he's not bad I will not complain. but to have a player on the team to only run kick offs back is rediculous. I wouldn't mind if he had the duties of KR, PR, RB but he's only relegated to KR. If we are going to have someone else do PR duties then I say cut him and have the PR also do KR.

I'm with PocketPool, Reed made 11 tackles in that one game because the Giants targeted him all day.
Jimoh was a last resort corner, he was on the team as a special teams standout.
Doughty is a last resort at safety but he is not a standout on special teams.
