He gets an awful lot of those yards with Ronnie Brown running the Wildcat. I seriously thought this thread was a joke. Putting a 32 year old running back behind this offensive line will reduce his shelf life to months, not years.

Be careful, mredskins may call you names for saying this.

Hopefully by next year we HAVE an offensive line. Samuels is pretty much gone. Thomas is up there in age and every season seems to take a season ending injury. Heyer stinks as does Rabach. Who do we have left? Dockery. Well. I guess that's something to build off of.

Re: Redskins need to sign Ricky Williams.

I'd rather have J. Norwood and a larger back (L. Johnson or L. White) to run by commitee, if we go the free agent route. Although we need a young burner, I don't see how we could justify drafting one (with our needs at OL and QB) except for finding a gem in the mid to late rounds.

Eh. Dockery is probably the worst active lineman we have. The only thing that impresses me about him is that he's not underperforming his contract, because he's getting like $2.5 million a year. And Will Montgomery makes him look like a great pass protector, so that's something.

You can build an OL with a Derrick Dockery type at left guard, but you have to do so pretty much willing to accept that he will be the 5th best lineman. He's proved durable, so we could do worse (i.e. everyone else we were planning to start this year).

If we were to truly rebuild the OL, Dockery would have to go as well. At this point, half-assing it might not be such a bad idea. We need new tackles, but until we figure something out, it's hard to evaluate what we have on offense.

Luckily, we have nothing else on offense. So there's not really any evaluation errors we have to worry about.
