QB: Jason Campbell has done a decent job, but I'm going to have give him an average grade because he has to check down to the fullback or tight end too often and his accuracy needs improvement. That might not be entirely his fault. The play calling is conservative and predictable. The wide receivers are not getting good separation and when they do they drop too many passes. The offensive line doesn't always give him ample time.
Grade C

RB: I love Clinton Portis but I question whether he is going all out. At times it seems as though he is not giving second effort. Sometimes he seems complacent and runs into the back of his blockers and fall down. Ladell Betts has been a disappointment. He isn't running nearly as well as last year. Portis had a great game last week, but this poor grade is for the entire year.
Grade C-

WR: NO TOUCHDOWNS! This does not look like a professional football team. I've seen high school teams with better production from their wide receivers. I am so tired of seeing wide receiver screens, dump offs to the back and passes to the tight end. Boring.
Grade F

TE: Chris Cooley is the man. Absolutely one of the better tight ends in the game. Yoder has made some decent contributions as well.
Grade A

OL: The offensive line has been up and down. This is mainly due to injuries and the shuffling of the line because of injuries. Despite all the shuffling, the line play has been fair.
Grade C

DL: Surprisingly the defensive line play has been good. I would like to have seen the team draft a defensive lineman but the incumbents have been impressive. I really like the two young tackles Montgomery and Golston.
Grade B

LB: London Fletcher has been one of the best free agent acquisitions of the off season. He is a tackling machine. Rocky McIntosh has stepped up and is fielding his position well.
Grade B

DB: This unit has done an outstanding job. Sean Taylor has stepped up and is playing at an all-pro level. The rookie, LaRon Landry is a perfect complement to Taylor and making spectacular plays as well. The corners are physical and coverage is good. After watching the Jet game, I think Carlos Rogers coverage skills have gone unappreciated. Smoot coverage is okay but Rogers really excelled and will be missed the rest of the season.
Grade B+

Special Teams: The Rock is one of my favorite players. Does whatever the team needs. Suisham has solidified the kicking game. Frost has been okay.
Grade B
