Kendryick Vincent Scouting Report
"He is a short area player who isn't very effective pulling or getting out on the edges. He is an ordinary athlete who bends too much at the waist and is slow to recover when beaten. Vincent isn't particularly agile and can get caught leaning."

Rick DeMulling Scouting Report
"He brings athleticism to the offensive line and seems to be a good fit at guard for the Lions' offense, which includes both pulling and trapping in the schemes. He is a solid technician and a knee-bender who plays with good body position and leverage. DeMulling excels when given the opportunity to block in space. He tracks defenders well and is able to get in position to make the block on the outside or on the second level."

Seems that DeMulling was better suited for Randy's spot. I bet if they were looking for a free agent Left Guard they would have signed Vincent, since he's more of a mauler as opposed to DeMulling who seems to be more of a finesse player.

Nice post.....DeMulling sounds more and more like what we may need now and later if he needs to started. Still I would have like both and this is why. We have O lineman droping like flyes and I am sure Vincent will not be around later. Also the odds are better one of the two will work out. But I know there is only so many roster spots and money.
