I didn't say those 3 were better, I said that the '09 roster isn't much better than the '08 roster.

Dockery is bigger but I wouldn't say he is a significant upgrade over Kendall. I don't think the left side of the line lost anything with Kendall the last two years.

When healthy (the big if) Springs is more talented than Hall. He has more skill. He is more physical and can play nickel.

You know why we have nothing to show for it? Because Chris Wilson and Blades are projected starters. That is horrible and unacceptable after $180million + goes out the door. Plus, take a look at Haynesworth's comments on why he chose Washington over Tampa Bay. I would love to know what he is thinking now that Springs and Taylor are gone.
