Since Edgar Allen Poe's work is incredible, I'm partial to this heading. Change it please. :)

More Doughty at free safety is a bad thing in the event of Atogwe's continued absence.

Moore had a terrible season last year, but he showed flashes. I thought the potential was there for him to be serviceable as a starter and a good backup at FS. I still have no idea as to why Reed Doughty is still being marched out as the starting FS with Atogwe out, at least give Gomes a shot, and I really have a hard team believing that Doughty is a better option at FS than Moore. Perhaps the coaching staff was not too confident with Moore's knee.

So continues our team's continuing practice of putting strong safeties with poor coverage skills at the free safety position. Atogwe's injuries has really screwed up the secondary and not having a safety with good coverage skills is not helping the situation. Given that they are trying out young guys, I would say put Gomes out there if he has any coverage skills.

Hate bringing up ST#21, but the day he died was the day our FS problems began; and we've never since replaced him with a decent option.
Hopefully we can get (via draft) a FS this year in the 2-3rd round.

Yeah I hate when people still bring it up also.
For the life of me I can't figure out what makes the Skins coaches think Landry or Doughty are decent FS's or could even play the position. I think it has been atleast 5 yrs now most of us fans complain about the lack of coverage skills by the two. Both are suited for SS in the box attacking the QB or RB.

Everybody here's bein hard on Doughty as a FS, but teams have not beat us deep much w/him there. Sure he's limited & doesn't often make plays on the ball. Overall, coverage has not been our problem during this losing streak IMO.
