I didn't see much of Dockery. The O-line and Bugel were on the opposite side of the field from me. I did see how massive Dockery looks though; if he's as strong as he is big, he could end up being a monster run-blocker. He made Jon Jansen look fairly small and Jansen is a pretty large guy. I couldn't see if he gained/lost weight as he had a shirt under his pads that obscured his gut. All I could see was a tall, broad man.
I think that Kenyatta Jones, as the WP has reported, may indeed push Dockery at LG. Jones is a young and talented, if troubled, offensive lineman and he can play either tackle or guard. That versatility tells me we are going to see a good deal of him this year. He's almost recovered from his injuries (he's day to day with an unknown injury) and he's entering a contract year. When he was with the Patriots, many league observers felt he would be good enough to start at RT in the near future; he's not a Jon Jansen, but he's considered a very good player.
