The Facts: Guice has drawn praise from coaches for how he is in the meeting room, with running backs coach Randy Jordan saying he asks questions to get answers -- not just to ask them. According to ESPN.com's John Keim, on the field, Guice worked in pass protection drills and showed his aggressive nature. But the coaches say they want to make sure he doesn't overcommit and lose leverage on his man. For him it's about perfecting technique, not want-to.

Diehards Line: The Redskins want to limit Chris Thompson's snaps coming off a broken leg in an effort to keep him fresh as their elite third-down back. Beyond that, the Redskins clearly weren't sold on Samaje Perine or Rob Kelley, so expecting Guice to quickly earn a prominent early-down role is reasonable. Indeed, even if Thompson's presence somewhat limits the newcomer's appeal in PPR formats, NFL.com expects the LSU product to lead the Redskins in carries as a rookie. We do, too.
