Here is our next installment of our question and answer sessions held with various players during the course of the Washington Redskins’ mini-camp last weekend. Here is our chat with third-year guard Derrick Dockery:<\/p>\n
THN:<\/i> Derrick are you feeling more comfortable with the offense this year after getting a full season under Coach Bugel and Coach Gibbs?<\/p>\n
DOCKERY:<\/b> No doubt, as long as we continue to work hard, and get everybody to buy into the system we\u2019ll be alright. We need to score some more points to help our defense out, we have a tremendous defense. We expect to win a lot this year if we do the right things and buy into the system.<\/p>\n
THN:<\/i> You guys went out and got Casey Rabach and Jon Jansen is back, are you excited about what the line can do?<\/p>\n
DOCKERY:<\/b> Yeah, we have a great chemistry going with this line. Everyone is healthy and we look good. Coach Bugel has done a tremendous job coaching us up and preparing us for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n
THN:<\/i> OK Derrick, let\u2019s switch topics a bit; much has been made of the eating habits of an offensive lineman. Who on the offensive line would you least like to take out to dinner and pick up the check?<\/p>\n
DOCKERY:<\/b> (Without hesitating) Oh, Randy Thomas.<\/p>\n
THN:<\/i> Why is that? <\/p>\n
DOCKERY:<\/b> Man… Randy Thomas may have lost to that little lady in the shrimp eating contest but we went to this Bar-B-Q place… and they had all-u-can eat… until Randy went there.<\/p>\n
(As luck would have it, Randy Thomas walks by)<\/i><\/p>\n
THN:<\/i> Randy, Derrick says you\u2019re the guy he\u2019d least like to take to dinner and pick up the check.<\/p>\n
THOMAS:<\/b> (Randy stops) What? (looks at Dockery)<\/p>\n
DOCKERY:<\/b> That\u2019s a compliment though, he can eat that much and still look this good. <\/p>\n
THOMAS:<\/b> (Grabbing Dockery) This guy is working hard, getting married, playing hard, third year\u2026Hey it\u2019s going for ya dog!<\/p>\n
THN:<\/i> You’re getting married Derrick?<\/p>\n
DOCKERY:<\/b> Yes. I\u2019m getting married on July 9th.<\/p>\n
THN:<\/i> Congratulations. <\/p>\n
DOCKERY:<\/b> Thanks.<\/p>\n
THN:<\/i> Randy, what\u2019s this about you wanting Redskins TV to film you cutting your grass?<\/p>\n
THOMAS:<\/b> Man, you seen my grass?<\/p>\n
THN:<\/i> Can\u2019t say I have.<\/p>\n
THOMAS:<\/b> Man, Tiger Woods came by my house last week and played nine holes on my grass (laughter).<\/p>\n
THN:<\/i> Thanks guys, good luck this year. <\/p>\n
DOCKERY \/ THOMAS:<\/b> Thanks.<\/p>\n
THN would like to thank Derrick and Randy for taking the time to talk to us.<\/p>\n
