I actually believe this is a go move if we want to adapt to Saunders offensive scheme. In KC that o-line was incredible and mobile when it came to pulling out on the tosses and sweeps run plays. Clinton Portis is one of my favorite players but he is complaining about the same running plays he was used to in Denver. Before he got here is was known as a cutback runner. If Portis becomes more patient and watch a lot more tape of faulk, holmes, and johnson he would become the best running back in the league hands down. I really believe Al Saunders knows what he is doing. Jos Gibbs need to let Saunders call all of the plays or just let him go and take over himself. I really believe Gibbs wants the same offense he saw in Kansas City and eventually will let Saunders bring in the personnel to do it.

If you recall in the interview with Portis he said he's going to let it known he wants to run (or have called for him ) the same type plays that were called for Betts during his streak. He prefers what's considered "downhill running" or between the tackles. Straight ahead blocking is Dockery's strength, they recognize the fact he's not a pulling guard, and I think they will get him resigned.
