... in desperate need of an upgrade along the offensive line. Though they failed to make a thorough renovation, they did bring back guard Derrick Dockery to strengthen the interior.

Dockery, after spending four seasons with Redskins upon being drafted out of Texas in 2003, departed the team in 2007. He spent two disappointing seasons in Buffalo with the Bills, who signed him to a monster seven-year, $49 million deal.

Dockery was unable to live up to his huge contract in Buffalo, but his return to DC might rejuvenate his career. He is only entering his seventh season, and excelled in offensive line coach Joe Bugel’s system during his first tenure with the Redskins.

Dockery replaces veteran Pete Kendall at left guard. He will play alongside Chris Samuels and Casey Rabach, as the ‘Skins look to rebound from last year’s blocking breakdown, in which they surrendered 38 sacks.
