Dockery Cut:

I'm pretty sure even with Parcells the same could have been said by some about coming to Miami last year. 1-15 team, first time head coach, turmoil in the locker-room.

How can anyone say that their front office and coaching moves haven't made the team better? They got rid of the worst GM in NFL history with Matt Millen and fired a coach that went 1-23 in his last 24 games. I think they can ONLY get better by default!

Good points. As Miami and Atlanta (and Baltimore to some extent) proved, you can go from disaster to playoffs pretty quickly in the NFL.

My point wasnt that he wasnt coming HERE, its that he was going to Detroit. Detroits the joke of the NFL. none of their front office or coaching moves looks to have made the team any better... why on earth would ANYONE go to detroit?

They've got more salary cap space which equates to a bigger contract.

Why the heck would we pursue Dockery when we could just move Alexander back to guard? I think it would be much wiser to pursue a FA RT. That way, we could go into the draft with no GLARING needs. "


... Am I the only one immature enough to not realize he meant Free Agent Right Tackle and thought he wanted us to persue a Fart?

ha ha. Well i think we still have glaring needs at RT, LG and SLB. I highly doubt we can address more than 1 of those in FA (2 at the most if we get Dock and Willis cheap). That probably means we still take Maluauga at 13 which I'm more and more excited about.

I wouldn't go that far. They have a rabid fan base, great facilities, and a new head coach. He's probably just doing his due diligence as far as contract offers go.

Just b/c he wasn't immediately on Redskin One for a visit to Ashburn this morning doesn't mean he has no desire to win. That's kind of a silly statement.

Nothing wrong with him checking out his options. I agree, to question his desire based on that is pretty silly.

It's not that easy. Remember, Alexander was an undrafted free agent who played his way onto the team for being able to do a little bit of everything. Ever hear the phrase Jack of all trades, master of none? That's LoAx. If anything, the fact they are going after Dock it's an indictment on Chad Reinhart that he's not ready to step up into the starting lineup despite being a 3rd round pick last year.

Going after Dockery imo is an indictment on the FO/Buges and how they have managed or mismanaged the offensive line.

My thing with Dock is why is Buff letting him go? Dock just seems like kind of an average player to me. He was never anything special here. Good road grader but couldn't pull and got a ton of false starts. Plus Kendall really wasn't the main problem with the line. It was more Jansen and Rabach IMO. I know we need to get younger but what about Rinehart? Does he just plain suck?

I really do think Jason Brown is/should be the team's first choice here, but Dockery should be the plan B. I hope if they do pay for Brown, they release Rabach and let Brown be the Center. Paying him to play LG would be such a misuse of our limited resources.

doc was a pulling monster when he was here, moe-ing mofos down on tosses and counters..... dont know what games u were watching SkinsFan

I don't know much about this guy Brown from Balt. other than he can play center and guard but again, can he play? Why isn't Balt. resigning him?

He's clearly more physically able to handle the position than Rabach is. He's not necessarily worth what he's going to get in free agency, but he would fill a hole that we would no longer need to use a draft pick on, which is valuable within itself.
