Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

If shanahan thinks he is still a capable guard and better than what we have now, I have no problem bringing him in for two years while we continue rebuilding.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

well, the fact that we drafted THREE offensive linemen means the Redskins are not desperate now. With the #4 pick as McNabbs bodyguard, then Dockery, and Rayback locked in as starters, the only questions are right guard and right tackle and Mike Williams or Hicks will be the right guard. So that only leaves one position open to possibility of question mark and that is right tackle. Most probably that gets filled with Heyer or Hicks eventually but ya never know. We may pick up a right tackle during the summer cuts, or trade for one in August.

^ I predict that the Rams will turn Alex Barron loose and he will be our right tackle.

I don't think they are desperate, it seems like a realistic approach. Not all of your picks will pan out so it makes sense to draft several guys that can potentially help you down the road.

[quote=skins89moss;694587]I surprise Tony Washington did not get drafted at least in the 7 rd. I guess because of his past record and him having to register as a sex offender scared teams off. I think he was 18 and the girl was 16-17 yrs old and she had consentual sex with him. To all fools a minor can not have consentual sex because she is underage. So any ways maybe we can sign him as a UDF he deserves a 2nd chance in life its not like he is a child molester. He played at TCU OT.[/quote]

We signed a guy just now as an UDFA that pulled a knife on a teammate. Certainly we can deal with a guy who engaged in a weird, but consensual, sex act when he was 17 or 18.

I still can't believe they traded Leon Washington for nothing but a 5th rounder. That dude is a weapon.

Yeah, but he's expected to make a full recovery. It's not like he shredded his knee or something. I still think Seattle got a bargain.

Grab faneca and sharper. ..... plz

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

could be a nice addition for maybe two years at RG and we can put m.williams as back-up at right tackle , does anybody like that idea?

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

I would love to pick him up for a year or two, BUT he also has never played in a zone-blocking scheme and I'm not sure he still has enough left in the tank mobility-wise to fit into Shanahan's offense.

We did well in the draft. Trent is definitely starting. We also have a backup Center/Guard in Erik Cook and Selvish Capers was projected mush higher than 7th and could easily make the team as a backup tackle. We also added a FB to eventually step in for Sellers.

The WR we drafted could be our returner too.

We didn't have any huge names after Williams, but every one of the guys we drafted can not only make the team, but contribute. Even our 7th-rounders are great picks and values.

Allen and Shanahan made a draft with very few picks into a very productive draft class. I think they did great with what they had to work with. It's not often you can realistically see every pick making the team, but I think these guys could do it.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

I think we should pick him up right now. Our offensive line is so freakin bad that anyone we pick up would be a huge upgrade....................................I mean, how many different right guards did Buges have starting last year? Was it five? Six? It was kind of hard for me to keep track. So, adding a very good guard would be a great move for this team. It certainly wouldn't hurt. Thats for sure.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

As I understand it, our line will look something like this:

LT - T. Williams
LG - Dockery
C - Rabach
RG - ?? Mike Williams
RT - Hicks
Backups: S. Heyer, C.Rhinehart, two draft picks

Actually not a bad line.. We just need to get reliable backups so when the first team goes down our QB doesn't buy life insurance. Williams will have to beef up before he's any good at taking on DE's in our division, but he'll be okay after a while. Dockery is decent and still less than 30.. Rabach is okay but older & I'd like to get a better bigger center at one point.. and Mike Williams sucked at tackle but perhaps guard might be better?? And Hicks -- hope he does well at the RT position, I read somewhere he'd probably be starting there..

Anyway, as long as Heyer is on the bench, I think over time this line will get better.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

I'm really not sure if Faneca would be a good fit in the zone scheme vs. the power schemes he's been successful in previously. My guess is we'll pass on him.

Re: Jets will release Faneca
 

I'm not a fan of bringing in Faneca, but i do think we should sign Flozell Adams. I'm not sold on Williams being able to start at LT immediately and I think he'd benefit immensely from being able to play RT for a year. Hicks, Dockery, M. Williams and Rinehart could then compete for the two starting guard spots.
