You guys remember at the beginning of the season the line was a seive. Brunell was getting no time and having to scramble all over the field, especially from his blind side. You always saw him rolling to the left, away from his blind side, which was the right side of the line. He got caught from behind on a couple of them giving up big fumbles. He also threw a few crappy INTs while on the run from the pass rush.
Well, DOCKERY WASN'T ON HIS BLIND SIDE. That was Kenyatta on that side letting in all that pressure. Ray Brown was better, but still not great.
When Ramsey went in, suddenly the left side of the line was the blind side again, where Samuels and Dockery are. It's not a coincidence that Ramsey dealt with less of a pass rush. Samuels and Dockery were the strong side of the line against pass rushers, and the right side was weaker. But Ramsey could see the defense coming from the right side, Brunell couldn't.
Dockery is not amongst our chief concerns along the line. Jansen being out was problem number one, and a center who wasn't athletic enough to get to his blocks was problem number two.
Sorry for ranting, but this Dockery argument gets me fired up! You just don't go replacing guys who are serviceable when you have bigger problems to deal with, that's how you develop salary cap problems!
