How long has Reed played?
Yeah... he's bad.
Lighten up. Reed plays for the Redskins so he's not that bad. But, he's not that good either. If you think he is, then. Well. Dude.
Reed isn't terrible, he's marginally average, but not terrible. I think he was ready to go for the cards game but waited for Dallas week, kudos I say. I'm curious how different the blitz schemes will be with him in there.
#21 (36) This IS and will always be the High watermark where all new DB's are measured.

Now...I'm all for tuff plays etc...but I never wish injury on players (not even Romo). Just play tuff and see what happens.

And, I think you are deliberately missing the point. Doughty is not fast. But, he is an exceptional tackler, and almost always where he needs to be. There is a reason that he has more than his share of tackles, and, despite a lack of raw talent, somehow manages to make the team over far more athletic players. I am smart enough to know that he's not "all that", but I also know that it is grossly unfair to belittle a man who has worked his ass off to get where he is, and who has made a living by playing over his head.
He should be considered a hero by every blue collar fan of the Redskins...
maybe that doesn't include you... but it sure does me.

Reed makes the team because he is a good Special Teams player, an extremely hard worker, and a smart player. None of that matters when he's matched up on Dez Bryant though. #nobrainer
I like Reed D. He's playing SS, that is a position that mostly focuses on the run and covering tight ends. It is NOT fair to say he can't cover a #1 WR. Heck, I love Landry but he can't cover top tier WRs either.
Doughty is a great run stopper and that is what we should gauge him on, not covering WRs.

Jason Witten isn't a WR, but I'd still prefer to have #30 matched up with him.

If a safety is on an island with a WR, it's a coaching blunder.

The only way that Landry is playing is if the coaches think he's fully fit and ready to go
it does not matter how good or bad Reed is or if we had no safety at all except Landry - the ONLY way he's getting on the field is if the coaches put him out there
they are NOT doing that unless he's fully ready to go - bank it
I really hope he's ready to play - he will be a force with this defense
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

I like the extra day to prepare, but the Skins have been woeful in prime time for many years now. This is another corner we can turn this week with a W.

Dude, I was at that last game (cardinals) and OMG he is jacked up! Looks like a freaking body builder. Hope he doesnt get burned for long TD though... Been a while since he has played!

Yeah, we squeaked by on a defensive TD and a penalty. Still, we didn't play very well. And Dallas started 1-7, so it isn't like we beat a good team. I'm talking about the Redskins making a good showing in prime time; something to show the casual fan that the Skins are not a team to be taken lightly.

Most safeties in the league are not that good. You'll find a reed doughty on each team. Not like the 90s when you had at least 10 pro bowl caliber safeties. Infact they use to be bigger than the WRs back in the day.

Wow, you prefer our starter over the reserve who's playing because he's out. Good point...

Beating Dallas in prime time is a good showing if they entered the game 0-15.

Beating Dallas is ALWAYS a priority for the Redskins
I'm not sure which W is more important, beating the Cowboys or beating the Giants
Winning against the pukes on Monday night to go 3-0 is going to piss a lot of fans off, BIG TIME
there will still be "haters" and we're still a work in progress but this would be a really great win

The Giants. The pukes were 6-10 last year, the gnats 10-6. Besides, I've hated the gnats since before the pukes existed.

Honestly - I would rather Romo play the whole year than Kitna. Romo is obviousley better than Kitna but he does made terrible decisions that costs his team wins. Kitna does not.
