Doughty is much better and consistent in coverage. Horton is great in run support and the short stuff.

Everyone has their right to their own opinion and I am not going to knock you for that. But let me state the obvious.
1. Horton caused the fumble by Avery when they were within the ten. If I am not mistaken. I might be wrong. Avery was about to score a first down. Regardless of the specifics. He ended their drive in the "redzone" and gave us the ball back.
2. On the other play I think it was Avery also. He ran step for step with Avery and almost came up with an interception on top of that. IF he had not made that play there was no one to stop the receiver from scoring a TD and we would have lost the game. So a liability in coverage..I dont know about all that. He makes plays when it counts the most.
*Avery runs a 4.2 40.
