Kind of ridiculous to talk about losing Willie in one breath and then talk about a lack of necessary adjustments in the next. I'm not sure if that's some kind of anti-Saunders hard-on or what, but the thing is, you don't make "adjustments" when you're going from Roaf to Black. We're talking going from a hall-of-famer to the sixth or seventh body on the depth chart if he's lucky. He's not even an established veteran player, and he's thrown in at left tackle. What do you do in that situation? Bend over and hope they're courteous enough to give you a reach-around.

Excellent. You also have to remember that Welbourne was out for 4 games as well. Two inexperienced tackles getting your QB killed - not a good situation. Saunders did what he had to - kept the TE's in for protection. The bad thing is that Gonzo is KC's #1 receiver. Without his threat it wasn't difficult for defenses to shut down Eddie and back up receivers with Parker also out.

ahh, and two inexperienced tackles is exactly what Dallas is playing right now.

And they're suffering the consequences, just like KC did early during the season.
