TGI Jef Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Top 5%??? Based on what?We have one young potentially star S...Laron Landry....he had shown some vulnerabilities but he is young and could become a very good player... Then we have Horton, who I think was sharing time at S towards the end of the season with Moore...he isnt as good as fans here think he is.... So the orginal poster suggested we DO have 2 good safeties and I would disagree... i admittedly just threw the number out there, but again - a potential star (your words) with a rookie who racked up starts and made many plays on the ball and tackles behind the line of scrimmage? how are we possibly not set at S? not saying we dont need depth, and im not saying Chris HOrton is an all pro. but we are not going to have All Pros at every position. and a "potential star" with a solid young player is not half bad at the S position...

PROSCOUT Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 FOR USC's TAYLOR MAYS please please thanks.the end. Somebody is VERY focused on Sean Taylor. Just because that guy is a safety and his name has a "Taylor" in it, doesn't mean he can replace your hero. Scrapping the season just to satisfy your fantasy is an immature train of thought. You are a perfect candidate to become a stalker. GROW UP! Get a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jweisk1 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Horton wasn't our full time starter until week 4, and he was injured in the middle of the season, which nagged him for a little while.He ended up with 14 games and 10 starts. Even with the missing games, he ended up 3rd among all rookies in tackles, and 1st among rookie DB's. We are fine at safety. Again we have 2 young and upcoming S, who one could be a star and the other should be very serviceable but to say we have 2 good S, is misleading...

skeenzfan Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 You can put 10 Taylor Mays back there ..but if you don't have good D-line and a pass rush they will get picked apart. A gud D-line can mask an average secondary but a good secondary can't mask a bad D-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPortJGibbs89 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Landry, for the millionth time, did a great/fantastic job last year. He's playing the Cover One. He's not supposed to give up big plays, and he was exceptional at that.Horton shared time with the trainers because he injured his shoulder and had a very, very good year. I don't know what group of safeties that you were looking at, and remember that Moore was doing a good job, too, but it wasn't the Washington Redskins. Close Thread, and Blatche and the other coaches seemed to be higher on Moore in pre-season than Horton. I think Moore is an excellent special teamer and could be a good safety as well. I am excited to see Horton and Moore with a full nfl offseason under there belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROSCOUT Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Besides all of the above, have I mentioned that we have TWO excellent safeties? Plus, our backups are above average with Doughty and Moore. In fact, I think Moore is going to be a star in this league if he gets a fulltime shot at strong safety. That guys loves to hitand he tackles. Watch him on special teams. Why are we suddenly talking about safeties before the draft. Is this a Dan Snyder thread? Haven't we drafted enough safeties in the last few years without taking away our focus on the lack of a pass rush and our injured and old offensive line. Lets ignore this thread from here on out so it can die the death it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Edds Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Then we have Horton...he isnt as good as fans here think he is.... thanks for the heads up, I figured it was just my eyes playing tricks on me last year when I thought Horton sealed a few wins for us with late game INT's. Must have been someone Carlos making those plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmchairRedskin Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Taylor Mays is just aight. He's definitely not top 5 material. I do like Eric Berry, though. That kid looks like he could be a good one. We don't need to draft anymore first round Safetys. I think we're good. I would go for the trenches and possibly a QB depending on how things shake out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMat184 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Mays is soft, I've seen him get trucked a lot and he rarely if ever makes a big hit. He hasn't at all been a game changer.....Go watch ST at UM to see how a big time safety prospect plays in college. Not to mention, as has been said, we have one great young safety and one pretty damn good one starting at the other slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWCREDSKINS Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 If it's for anything, it'll be for a QB because that'll mean Jason Campbell is a total bust but I really hope it never comes to that. Sam Bradford doesn't excite me and neither does Colt McCoy. I just want Campbell to succeed, I'm sick of playing musical QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROSCOUT Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I just want Campbell to succeed, I'm sick of playing musical QB YES, YES YES! Now dats what um talkin bout. Can't everybody get on board and stop wishing that Jason will fail so they can say "I TOLD YOU SO...LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME, I WAS THE FIRST TO SAY HE WAS NO GOOD....." Thanks for a sensible post and bringing out the real problem which is the more failure we have at the position the more we will play musical QB. We should all be rooting for not only Jason but for Colt Brennan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on this board would rather any given player/coach fail so that they can be "right" than actually cheer for the team. For the record: I'm right there with you.

Chad.8.18.93 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 if we're picking in the top five, we shouldnt be worried about a safety. I'm pretty sure the reason we're up there will have something to do with our QB play, not safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laron Burgundy Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Taylor Mays will not be a top 10 prospect by next year. Well, I say that, but the USC hype machine will probably have him going first overall. Only at USC can a college player have a mediocre career and be considered a top 15 pick. At any rate, Eric Berry is better and SHOULD be rated higher than Mays. Safety isn't something we should be too concerned about but I wouldn't complain about taking Berry so Laron can move to his more natural SS position, assuming we pick that high. I'm more excited about the DE, LB and DT prospects next year. Positions we actually need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins PR Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I see a top 5 pick being extremely likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDiesel44 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Not that I would ever wish to be selecting in the top 5 of next year's draft like the creator of this thread, but if we did, it certainly wouldn't be Taylor Mays. If anyone watched all the games last season they would know that our secondary isn't even close to being one of our teams top needs. Depending on this year's draft, were gonna draft a MLB to replace London Fletcher who will be 36 by the time next season starts, a QB to replace JC because its no secret that Snyder is dying to get a different guy, or a lineman on either the O or D depending on what we select this year. Taylor Mays however is totally absurd and outta the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
