In reply to a few points raised in reply to mine and others posts:

Dockery - Not doing a good enough job. As 56fan says, he is big enough and strong enough to move people, but he doesn't. Maybe he will get it, maybe he won't, but I'd be looking in the draft next year for depth at the least.

Rogers - He is still a rookie. He will make and learn from mistakes this year. From the little I have seen he looks more developed than Smoot was at the same stage.

Portis - Maybe he isn't the right back for this O, but to be honest we aren't going to get anyone better unless we draft the next Ladanian Tomlinson in the 06 draft. And running back is not a priority. With better blocking, I bet we'd see a damned sight more production.

DL - I don't blame anyone within the organisation, but I can't help wondering why we haven't found a quality pass rusher. The Eagles, Falcons and Colts all needed one and found one. We need one, but we haven't even appeared to try and get one.

Playcalling - from week 3 on, we have been able to move the ball. However, I don't believe the red zone play calling has been good enough. We are fine passing for short TD's, but we should be able to run the ball in from anywhere inside the 20. Betts should be pounded between the tackles and setting up a PA or outside run. We seem to me to be trying to finesse our way into the EZ too often.
