Goodbye Doughty, Hello Horton!

Honestly I think it is nice we have two guys that we can use at SS that are both effective. Most teams would die for that.

I think that's a good point that's getting lost in this silly debate. Rather than picking sides let's just be happy that we have depth at the position. Horton appears to be a promising player, but I think Doughty will still play an important role.

good call man. whose to say horton would not have given up a big pass play when going against the likes of boldin and fitzgerald or that zona would not have heavily targeted him if he was starting.

doughty is our weakest link on D but thats more a testament to our solid group and not a knock on him. doughty is serviceable to solid, decent to good. i see the horton/doughty discussion much like heyer/jansen; all are solid and pretty much interchangeable right now which is a good thing, especially yesterday when heyer went down for alil and jansen stepped in and we didnt miss a beat.

go skins!

Is Doughty the only player in the league to get beat by Fitzgerald? I'm glad we have these guys.
