FRPLG:

You say Dockery starts for any team that does not have two Pro Bowlers starting at offensive guard. I believe that no team in the league has that luxury so do you REALLY mean to say that Dockery starts for any team in the NFL? That's not even close to right.

Dockery is better now than he was as a rookie but he's not all that much better than he was last year. And I fear that is "not good enough".

BTW, the Skins made it through 2005 with Samuels and Jansen at OT for about every snap of the ball on offense. That was a major factor in the OL's improvement over last year when Jansen was out and Samuels was playing at middling efficiency. Molinaro might have been satisfactory because he worked hard in practice and didn't cost a whole lot in terms of cap room - AND he didn't have to play a lot so that other teams could figure out if he has a huge hole in his game. He may be spectactular or he might be a stumblebum if he has to play 14 games next year. That's why this team needs OL depth - badly.
