Should Al Saunders return in '08?

Matty, I agree w/the 1st statement, but I think a couple things should be pointed out about Collins' performance v. JC:

1) Collins has had better pass pro. Certainly in the Bears game, there was a lot of max protect plays & since then we see 2 backs in to block, usually the FB helps Heyer. JC was left back there alone a lot more, though in the TB game (in which Heyer started - his first I believe) we saw this a good bit too.
2) Heyer's coming along rapidly it seems. Having started the last several games he is getting much better. The o line as a unit is really looking good & his improvement might be the difference as the right side has been weak all season.
3) Moss & Portis. Both are healthy & are playing their best. Moss td last week was clearly all him, could've just as easily have been picked.
4) Inspiration, whatever its come from the team is playing inspired in all phases.

Collins certainly deserves credit, I just think the other components of the O have improved greatly as well.
