Doughty excels against the run when he starts the play in the box, but is a liability on both run and pass when he lines up at center field. Which is why Doughty doesnt play free safety.

That TD by Chris Johnson was not "just because Rambo played". With Vick, Shady, and LaSean on the field, a slow safety is going to be toast the entire game. Especially if Kelly uses them the right way.

Actually yeah doughty has a chance against Chris Johnson. Remember his strength is playing the run and close to the line of scrimmage. Doughty would have a chance to at least to slow Johnson down instead of allowing for an easy untouched td. I don't remember doughty getting beaten like that on a td run. The passing game is a different story though where is often overmatched.

Whether you like him or not, Rambo has shown that he is a liability in the running game so far. I don't want to see another td run like that in the first game and just chalk it up to a learning experience. Which he hasn't shown that he has fixed yet. He has to fix his positioning and angles. And if he hasn't shown he has fixed it when the eagles game comes around, I wouldn't feel good to have him start that game.
