AFJF Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Can't say I'm all that surprised. The guy was due to make $7.5 mil this season and his play was above average but nowhere near worth $7.5 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 WOW. They are screwing with the best unit on the team in an uncapped year because of money. Can't say I am happy about this. If they didn't have 18 reps to pay hawking PSLs would money be as much of an issue for them? And the crazy ads they are putting all over the place. I hope this kid is ready. Just hate to see cost cutting moves when they are so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Or Slauson. Exactly. We have no idea what Slauson showed in practice last season. Slauson could start with VD being groomed to replace Woody or it could be VD at LG with Slauson for depth. No way of knowing right now how things will pan out.

rillo Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 We had better resign Revis, Mangold, Ferguson, because of this move. Faneca was on the decline but why mess with the chemistry. Ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I think Hunter may see some time in his place as well. It's a shame how underrated he is by our fanbase (even though we tend to overrate and underrate the wrong people anyways), dude's versatile as hell and he's definitely in sync with the rest of the unit. He's a damn good player to have in your rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT STALKER Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 This is a team on the cusp (we think they are anyway) of something special and you mess with one of the top O-lines in the league?

I do, Faneca was a liability and he was making too much money for that sh*t! Obviously the staff feels they have or will have someone to fill in, and there is plenty of time for them to gel. Like I said before as long as we have someone who can play the position they will be fine, chemistry and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTJ06 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 One of the biggest criticisms of Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards is that he holds onto the ball too long. "I took some hits I probably should have tried to avoid," Edwards admitted Tuesday, when speaking with reporters for the first time since November. But research from Football Outsiders managing editor Bill Barnwell suggests Edwards and Ryan Fitzpatrick absorbed more unavoidable hits than any other team allowed. For an ESPN Insider article, Barnwell passes along some unsurprising data: The Bills' offensive line led the NFL with 28.5 blown blocks that led to sacks. Somewhat surprising is that Fred Jackson led all running backs with four blown pass blocks that led to sacks. The Bills allowed 46 sacks. Three teams surrendered more, but the Bills attempted only 27.6 passes a game, second-fewest in the league to the New York Jets. That makes Barnwell's findings about Jets left guard Alan Faneca all the more fascinating. Faneca, a perennial Pro Bowler, was rated as the worst left guard when it came to pass blocking. He was charged with seven sacks and three hurries for 10 blown blocks. Bills center Geoff Hangartner rated the worst at his position in pass blocking. He was flanked by rookie guards Andy Levitre and Eric Wood for most of the year, which didn't help. But Barnwell blamed Hangartner for five sacks and one hurry. Also of interest to Bills fans is their former left tackle, three-time Pro Bowler Jason Peters, graded as the worst at his position. Peters, an elite run blocker, struggled against the NFC East's superstar edge rushers, allowing seven sacks and four hurries http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/12064/a-look-at-some-ole-o-linemen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I heard of this...never heard anything close to this during the season and I'm sure with a glaring weakness like this, it would have been broadcast big time during the playoffs.

rillo Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2010/04/jets_cut_pro_bowl_guard_alan_f.html Jets cut Pro Bowl guard Alan Faneca By Manish Mehta/The Star-Ledger April 23, 2010, 11:57PM Alan Faneca profile Jets tight fileJohn O'Boyle/The Star-LedgerAlan FanecaThe Jets have cut nine-time Pro Bowl left guard Alan Faneca, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak on the Jets' or Faneca's behalf. The Jets will likely make a formal announcement Monday, according to the person. Faneca, 33, was reported to be on the trading block for weeks, but the Jets couldn't find any takers. He was scheduled to make $7.5 million this season, of which $5.25 million was guaranteed. The Jets' selection of Massachusetts offensive lineman Vladimir Ducasse raised further speculation over Faneca's immediate future with the team. General manager Mike Tannenbaum sidestepped a question about Faneca's future Friday night after the Ducasse pick. “Alan’s on our team. He’s done a lot of great things for us,” Tannenbaum said. “All those other questions are hypotheticals. All I can tell you is where we are now.… I know there’s a lot of speculation, but that’s typically what happens over a weekend like that.” Faneca joined the Jets in 2008 after establishing himself as one of the league's best run blockers during 10 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 13th-year pro struggled in pass protection last season. More news to follow. Jets are still going to pay him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
