I guess I may look at things differently but the way I see it is like this, yes Springs is better than Hall but it doesn't matter how much better Springs is when he is only going to play 5 or 6 games. We need a corner that can play at least 14 of the 16 games. We know what Hall brings to the table and I really don't see him being a problem in the locker room for the Redskins. And with Hall we have 3 first round picks in the secondary.
I am not looking for Haynesworth to get double digits sacks this year I am anticipating the double teams that he will see which should free up Carter and Fletcher to make the play. I mean I really don't think that Fletcher ever got the benefit of having a monster DT in front of him eating up the blockers and letting him make the plays. IMO, Fletcher is the hardest working MLB in the game. With us being able to get more pressure on the opposing QB we should force the QB in to making errant passes in which Hall will hopefully turn into turnovers for us, if not Hall than hopefully Horton...
Now, Dockery, IMO we should have tried to keep him but he did the same thing that every NFL player will do chase the money, cant blame him for that. But he is much better than Kendall, IMO. I mean Kendall did a good job filling in for us but the chemistry that exist between Samuels and Dockery can't be replaced in that short of time. I think that Samuels and Dockery will get things back in order in no time and our left side of the line will be one of the best in the NFL.
Just my thoughts....

Nice post 8588. Especially good stuff in the last paragraph as i don't get how some people suggest Dock isn't a massive, literally, upgrade over Kendall. We're talking about 35 lbs in mass difference on a far younger body, and Samuels/Dock destroyed opposing defenders up through '06. I wouldn't even keep Kendall for insurance. Dock isn't injury prone and we can rely on Jansen/Rinehart to step up and they're both guaranteed keepers through this season.
