I agree that it's great news about the O-line, but let's not get carried away here--the vertical passing game, which is crucial to the success of the team, was not there. So we still don't know about that, and it's the biggest question mark we have.

I do think it all starts with the O-line, and that if they can give PR time to throw, he'll get the vertical game going, but until I see it (and until it puts points up on the board), I am going to withhold judgment.

It's the first preseason game--we can't read too much negative in it, but by the same token, we can't read too much positive in either. Gotta be realistic here--keep an even keel and improve week-to-week.

(PS Nice to hear about Dockery--but the knock on him is consistency. Can he keep it going for a full game, and a full season? If he does, we are going to have a serious O-line.)
