In the projected starters section it says Rick DeMulling will start at RG and Fabini at RT... I dont know much about DeMulling but at least he has got to bet a better run blocker than Fabini... right?... i hope... I wondered why we picked this guy up and he hasnt seen much action w/ all of our injuries, is he any better than Fabini?
but on the bright side it seems like we are going to have Marcus back...maybe
Not good news at all. Another reshuffling of the offensive line. :doh:

Hmmmm, interesting catch. I didn't see anything about it in the Post and JLC says both Rabach and Heyor were back in pads today. Didn't mention anything about Wade, although it was pretty clear that he was hurting last week with the groin (a point that Coach Joe emphasized when he talked about the 'guy who didn't think would play all week' but who battled through anyway - he was pretty clearly speaking about Wade). You'd hope DeMulling would be better than Fabini in the run game, at least better in space, but there was a reason the guy was sitting on the street in week three or whenever the Skins signed him so I wouldn't get your hopes too high. Plus, in this scenario you'd still have Fabini playing but now his deficiencies in pass pro would become apparent (he has done alright in pass pro at RG, but he is more protected there than he would be at RT). Still, without some confirmation this could just be a typo.

JLC said that only Rock & Thomas were not at practice today. Here's the link:
Redskins Insider (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/)
He's also often said that on the skins web site projected starters are often wrong. The exception was Montgomery at DT in week 1.
They may have put it up like that last week when they weren't sure about Wade & just never changed it. I sure hope fabini isn't starting at RT!

Matty could you correct the title for me, i tried but couldnt...typos kinda drive me crazy.
Fabini was solid in pass pro on the inside but i seem to remember Phillip Daniels lighting him up BAD a couple years ago when he was playing tackle for the cowboys, which really concerns me going against the Pats esp. Adalius Thomas.

Yeah, it wasn't Fabini. It was Tucker or something like that...

7 more weeks is the time frame for Randy Thomas. Wow, Maybe we should have IR-ed this guy. We are looking at Dec 16th or 23rd to have him back? The season could be over by then.

If we're alive for the playoffs it could be a huge boost for the line to be able to bring him back. If we can afford to keep him off IR I'm all for it.
Alright so maybe this isn't accurate news. I really hope it's not. I think at this point in his career Fabini is better suited for playing guard where he has less space to operate in.

I really hope this is wrong too...I guess the official injury report come out Thurs. Buges must have a reason for not playing DeMulling and sticking w/ Fabini...
Randy would give us a HUGE boost by coming back no matter when as long as we are still in contention.
You sure it was Tucker? I swore Fabini was playing RT for them during that game. Which i was the main reason i wasnt a big fan to bring him in here to back up at RT
