Redskins sign guard Rick DeMulling

I think he will start soon, probably after the bye.

Fabini is good for depth but he's not starting material anymore.

DeMulling is athletic and moves well. Buges will get him coached up.

Agreed. DeMulling will get an ear full from Bugel as soon as he gets to practice about shoring up his technique.

All he has to do is pass Fabini on the depth chart. He will be the starter come week 5 against the Lions.

Is this just a guess or are you basing it on something? Have you seen him play? If he's so good why was he unemployed? Starting guards don't grow on trees. Unfortunately, ones that get buried by a bull rush do. Everything in that scouting report was true of Todd Wade as well. Maybe he should play right guard and we can put Heyer at tackle.

Fabini looked okay to me. And he actually made the final cut of an NFL roster this year.

DeMulling is a better mover than Fabini and quicker and stronger than him. Plus his natural position is Guard unlike Fabini who has mostly played tackle in his career. DeMulling was a pretty good guard when he was playing for the Colts and a good one for the Lions, he is a better player than Fabini is.

According to this link the guy has a lot of experience playing LG, I don't see much in RG experience. Scout.com: Rick DeMulling Profile (http://cincinnati.scout.com/a.z?s=341&p=8&c=1&nid=3068708)

Isn't Idaho where Mark Schlereth also went to school? I hope he can at least play. I have faith in Buges he knows what he's doing.

Fabini isn't bad he had those penalties at the end of the 2nd half but other than that he did well! I'd say keep Fabini in unless he proves himself better to the coaches.

I think Demulling can be a pretty good Guard in this league. It's hard to get a read on him since he hasn't done anything since 2004 though.

I don't know about that fabini has done fine. We'll have to see how this kid learns the system, either way he should be ok depth.

This joker was cut from a HORRIBLE lions O-Line, where he was a BACK-UP. That's bad, folks.

He was picked up by Indy in the offseason because he used to be there and knew the offense. Then Indy lost some key linemen to injuries AND THEY STILL CUT HIM.

Then he was picked up by the Patriots, who we all know are horrible talent scouts (sarcasm) and they DROPPED HIM like Carlos Rogers trying to make an interception.

THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER OPTION... I'm not sure this is an upgrade over False Start Fabini.

What about Heyer? I know he's primarily a tackle - but he's shown promise - can he be converted to a guard? What about Pucillo? Or Lefotu? Or THE ADE?

We'll see. The coaches watched the tape of the guy, I doubt many of us have broken down film of Rick DeMulling. I know JLC was all over Keydrick Vincent's jock, but I don't know anything about that dude either. You've got to believe that there were reasons that both guys were available so we'll just have to see. Not really knowing anything I'd assume they liked DeMulling's movement skills as others have mentioned and just looking at Vincent's 330 frame I'm assuming (but don't really know) he doesn't move as well. If nothing else I guess DeMulling provides depth at both guard positions, but like others I assume he'll be in the lineup against Detroit week 5.
