Credit goes to the O-line on that one, especially Randy Thomas. Once he got hurt, Portis struggled. And so did the entire offense.
I think we need depth along the line. But we are in desperate need of another threat down the field. He doesn't need to be a TO or Randy Moss. But he needs to be better than James Thrash or Taylor Jacobs.
Reggie Wayne would be ideal, because he runs TREMENDOUS routes and gets separation with quick cuts. But he's expensive. We at least need somebody to come in and take attention off Moss. Patten was taking attention away from Moss, and I think he'll have a better year next year. But we need a 3rd guy. If Wayne can't be obtained, David Givens is a good target, he's another good route-runner.

Ok, you've convinced me
I'll concede that we need depth along the O-line more than we need to replace players. I guess I'm happy with the O-line we have, I just want to seem them play like they did that 5-game stretch for the whole SEASON. We'd be unstoppable.
I definitely like Givens, his routes are impressive. Wayne seems like a long shot.
Anyone here for Eric Moulds? I know he had the incident with Mularkey this season but I don't think that was his fault at all, just Mularkey being an ass. I definitely do NOT want a "superstar" player with the superstar attitude. That's why I liked Patten or Givens or Wayne - humble, professional guys who produce.
