4-Have McNabb work on his footwork.
5-If Torain is hurt for awhile bring in James Davis from the PS and see what he can do.

1. Where do I find the magic wand or the fairy godmother who will fix those problems in 2 weeks with the talent on this roster?

2. IF Galloway were to retire - - and I doubt he will in mid-season - - what makes anyone think that anyone on the roster other than Roydel Williams would be his replacement?

3. Agree here. This is something coaching and practice can accomplish. BTW, penalties in other areas of the game can be reduced too with positive benefits...

4. Donovan McNabb is in his 12 season in the NFL and has probably been using his "standard footwork" for the last 20+ years of his football life. The chances that he will change that effectively without altering his comfort level with some other part of his game in a two week period are very slim.

5. If Torain is hurt and Portis is not ready to come back, things are not looking up for the running game - - - unless of course that guy with the magic wand or the fairy godmother who is here to fix the OL in 2 weeks can give it another flick of his wrist.
