3. Someone had the 2009 OL with the following people as back-ups:
Heyer, Jansen, Rhinehart and Geisinger.
That is a recipe for needing to go through all of 2009 with no injuries to the OL starters. Jansen is the ONLY player there who has shown ANY consistent abiltiy to play at the NFL level and he is clearly on the downslope of his career. Heyer reportedly works hard and tries hard - - but on Sundays he strives to be adequate. Geisinger played a couple of snaps last year and looked shell-shocked. Rhinehart could not show enough to get dressed for most games.
If those are the back-ups, start now sacrifcing goats to the football gods to prevent any OL injuries...
4. Recall that Dockery showed great improvement here in Washington last time in his "contract year". In Buffalo, he had a long-term deal and played poorly enough to get cut. If they sign him here, I'd suggest a SHORT term deal.

Like when they lined him up against Terrell Suggs? LOL.
