I think Doughty will get the call. He's not as athletic as Landry, but I think if we put Gomes in there he'd be a lot more susceptible to play fakes and getting caught deep. I like how aggressive Gomes is but that can be his downfall as well. I don't expect Doughty to play like Landry but I'm not as down on him as some other members of the board are.
Lump me in with the Doughty doubters!
Not athletic, darn he looks like a 50 yr. old man out there! Kind of like me, except I'm sitting next to 60!

If LL isn't healthy by now then it's going to be a long or short season for Laron. Dissapointing.......

I wouldn't count LL out for the season, he just tweaked his hammy. This has nothing to do with achilles or wrist injuries.

shanny said in the press conference after practice. that you never know whats gonna happen and maybe theres a chance he can play. lets hope so. its only wednesday so maybe, just maybe
Fear this more than the average person I guess... it changes what we do on defense when Landry is not in the game. I hate it. Doughty IMO is a giant liability, pun intended... if they beat us, it will be the secondary and a slowly declining pass rush which in turn will let Eli shred us like he usuallybdoes... I pray that we can over come missing LL this week and haslett plays a little more 2 deep than hed like

i completely agree. i dont have much faith in doughty. yeah hes a great tackler when hes there, but hes not there much, always a few steps behind.

I like Gomes as a blitzer and for his potential. But yeah, realistically, he's a rookie who, as Blache said, will break your heart.

The lockout undoubtedly had an affect on LL's ability to adequately rehab his AT without surgery and without the help of the team doctor and trainers. Over-compensating for his existing injury could have helped led to his now hamstring problems.

Doughty will be fine . Unless Haselet has him lining up over the slot WR and covering him one - on - one we're fine .I would love for LL to be out there , but now the other 11 guys have to buckle their chin straps and go KO Eli !
