Yardbarker: Reed Doughty

Deal or No Deal? Evaluating the Redskins' 2009 Free Agents

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:27:17 -0500

In a post that I realize is extremely premature, I thought it would be fun to take a look at the Skins current roster and start evaluating all of the upcoming free agents this year. There are a lot of players on the fence at this point in my mind, and I'll be curious to get everyone else's feedback. The current list of Redskins free agents include: Jason Campbell, Levi Jones, Casey Rabach, Stephon Heyer (restricted), Phillip Daniels, Rocky McIntosh, Carlos Rogers, Reed Doug...

Defensive coordinator Greg Blache last week demoted strong safety Chris Horton to the second team in favor of Reed Doughty, and Doughty delivered during a 16-13 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at FedEx Field. In his first start of the season, Doughty was credited with a team-high nine tackles, including eight unassisted. He also was credited with two tackles on special teams. Doughty, who sat out most of last season because of back problems, has been among the team's most consistent...

Internet Aside, Horton Has a Solid Day

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:53:58 -0500

Second-year safety Chris Horton lost his starting job this week to Reed Doughty, a move that defensive coordinator Greg Blache said was a switch of evenly-matched players. Sunday morning, though, Horton's Web site -- predator48.com -- posted a screed that called out Blache and highly-paid teammates DeAngelo Hall and Albert Haynesworth. "We are paying Albert Haynesworth $100 million to play here," the post said in part. "He has one sack and nine tackles through three games. ...

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:40:00 -0500

Things have been pretty good for Reed Doughty this season, and he knows it. Every time I've spoken to him, he's emphasized just how much better he feels, how much smoother he's playing, what a difference this is from the start of last season.Here's what he had to say on Monday about his steadily-increasing role in the defense: "Whatever coach wants, whatever he feels is necessary at that point.

Larry Weisman is reporting Doughty is starting SS and Horton is out. Reed Doughty in at SS, Chris Horton out. Horton had a critical 47-yard pass interference penalty in the loss to Detroit.

Blache also said he should be one people blame for the defense's breakdow...

Blache Dives Under Bus, Makes a Change

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:49:55 -0500

The decision to demote strong safety Chris Horton in favor of Reed Doughty for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has a lot to do with the overall lack of discipline on defense this season. Whether it's defensive lineman failing to maintain their gap responsibilities, linebackers not recognizing their "landmarks" or defensive backs playing the wrong "leverage" in play calls, the group has often been a mess. Jim Zorn and defensive coordinator Greg Blache...

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 10:24:37 -0500

The Washington Redskins drafted a guy who is hearing impaired without actually knowing that he's hearing impaired.....a fact that seemed to be well known when he was in college. So what gives with the franchise ineptness?
