Where's Christian Fauria?

SUNRA · 08-20-2006, 05:03 PM

I haven't heard anything about him since we signed him. It's obvious that Robert Johnson who was injured again last night is having problems staying healthy and Cooley hasn't had had any passes thrown his way, someone give me an update.

Rock got tackled for a loss last night against the jets and riggins said it was Fauria who missed the block. Thtats all i've heard about him

I worry about the blocking ability for our TE's. If Cooley is the best blocker, we have a problem.

Robert Johnson is 6'8. If he can't block, then we are in even bigger trouble since we let Robert Royal go.

Blocking is about 80% technique. I'll put a 230 LB TE on the goalline if he has great technique and drive. That's something that Royal brought to the table.

I hope Johnson fills that void, but isn't he a converted WR?

No that was Ron Johnson who got cut a while back.

Robert Royal signed a 10 million dollar deal. Quite possibly the most overpaid player in the league.

I don't think Johnson's problem is blocking, it's staying healthy

Big C · 08-20-2006, 05:59 PM

fauria played last night, riggins said he missed a block

MightyJoeGibbs · 08-20-2006, 06:08 PM

Fauria sort of did miss a block. He was squared up with the DE (I believe) and gave a weak ass push to the outside , just where the play was heading. Fauria touched him like the other was it and turns and lets the guy make a tackle in the backfield. Although Rock was the runner so any blocking up front would still get Rock tackled in the backfield.He sucks anyway b/c there was a cut inside that his midget ass couldnt make.

Why you bashing the Rock. The Rock says he is a valuable special teamer for this club and good enough to fill as the number 2 back for this team. The Rock wants to take you back to last season and remind you of St. Louis and a 13 yarder against San Diego. If you smell what the Rock is Cookin!!!!! its all good we all have opinions....lol

Just taking my time to launch my personal vendetta against as you say the Rock. Yes Rams game 100yds. But Rams defense . Special teams yes thats his bright spot.

Rock is a number 2 but not in football. Number 2's need toliets to flush in.

When he came around to sign at camp I told him I was cool, and he moved on.

Thats messed up, but somewhat funny. Why such hatred for the K State Supa sta?....LOL

Janky-

Why would the coaching staff only give him one carry against their scrubs at the end of the game?

It didn't even seem like they were interested in evaluating him as a player. I don't think he's making the squad.

JankySpanky80 · 08-20-2006, 10:42 PM

he's been nursing an injury but there has been alot of talk about him in camp. You however do make a good point. I stand down.
