I heard nothing about him being a stellar receiver. I think he'll make the running game better, but I really doubt he's going to be an offensive weapon. Speaking on the Redskins-Cowboys game only. The Skins never really needed to put extra people in the box to prevent RBs from going nuts. The Skins front four is extremely dominant. With the exception of MAYBE two big runs in overtime, LT himself was fairly quiet. And Julius Jones is NO LT. I think TO might make the game closer than we'd like to think and honestly and here comes the cliche, whoever wins the turnover battle wins this game. Both defenses are going to be great and who makes the fewest mistakes win. It'll be brutal, no doubt. If I were, god forbid, a Cowboys fan, my only concern would be so many rookies on defense.

No man Fasano is more of a passing TE great on the second line blocking according to reports that's why on the beggining they where trashing Parcell's pick of fasano because they said we allready have a passing TE in Witten who is a pro bowler, after parcell made clear we're going to go full time with the 2 TE set the pick made sense the idea is to not let the defenses charge 1 side.

and our backup is Romo not henson and as ther said if either QB goes down we both have inexpirience replacements, but I have more confidance of drew making it the hole season than Brunnell

I'd agree with you there. I think we're all concerned about that one. Still though, I know Parcells said it, but that doesn't make Fasano any better of a receiver than he was in college. I just take exception to the fact that he only had something like 8 TDs in his career. I also read how his speed was something not to be desired.

well he had a 4.71 40's wich is average for TE not really fast but not slow. the analysis is that he doesn has explosive speed... great hands good route runner wich is great because your first target in tha toffesne is Witten as a TE fasano is a guy to take away presure and if teams are concentrating a lot on witten you can still hurth them with fasano.

But I dont expect him to have 800 yard season.

I've heard of blocking TEs and receiving TEs, but a passing TE? Wouldn't he look kind of out of place in the pocket?
