Thai Jet Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Size does not always tell the story. You're right there. But this is left guard, between Brick and Mangold. He should be fine there. I'm a Faneca fan, but in this case youth makes sense. I think having Faneca next to Brick really helped BRICK out. This year he's on his own. We shall see.

bitonti Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Who is Matt Slausen? exactly. Vlad is the starting left guard. if it's not Vlad it might be turner or hunter... not Slauson. if Slauson were in any way decent they dont use a 2 on Vlad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the guy we brought in to replace Pete Kendall unsuccessfully? Only to kill Clemens and Chad the whole year? He was worse than Clement any day.

If that's the case, better to find out now before they even consider paying him that franchise LT money in the next year or two. 2011 is the last year of his rookie deal. I think Faneca is way up there with Leon Washington as most overrated players on the team, and I don't think I'm gonna miss either one of them.

I was one of the ones overrating him, so I'm jaded. I wanted the Jets to pay him & play him last year. Well, they did play him, and I didn't see anything "explosive" out of him before he got hurt. No big plays, not a single TD, just no impact. The Jets are fortunate that he turned down their long term offer, IMHO. I think if he were healthy, they would've traded him anyway - they just would've gotten more for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting a guy with Ducasse's size next to him won't hurt either... Brick is probably #2, maybe #3. At #1 you have to have Joe Thomas. I don't think anybody is going to argue that one...I also don't know how the Browns can have such talent on the line and still suck so much. Maybe because they don't have QBs. With the right QB I guess that team improves in a hurry...especially if you are high on that WR of theirs, whose name I forgot (it had a bunch of Ms in it--I am too lazy to check right now, he is on my prospect list for fantasy football though). The only other 2 names I can consider in front of Brick are Long and Roos. Other guys that might be on his level are Clady and Gaither, but I don't think they are/haven't shown it for long enough. Brick is surprisingly good and I have to admit I don't understand why fans aren't higher on him. It could be because of Faneca next to him getting some credit and also shifting blame onto Brick, since Faneca made so many mistakes. I think a lot of the problem is that unless you watch a game multiple times, generally you can NOT see everything going on at once. You have to make a conscious decision on what you're going to pay attention to, and how much you want to study vs. enjoying the game. I watched Brick a lot the first year and a half when I had the chance, especially since I had no intention of paying attention to Chad's dink and dunk anyway. Last year I mostly paid attention to Sanchez and used my pre-formed thoughts on Brick until I got called out on it, so then I went back to re-watch him and focused on him every chance I got. This is also why I have killed Faneca in my posts, since I saw a lot of him too since he is next to Brick. Faneca was still a good pulling run blocker, I will give him that, maybe the best in the game actually still, but every game I'd watch he'd make about 3-5 really stupid rookie mistakes where I'd scratch my head wondering how he's a vet. Apparently the Jets coaching staff saw this too...obviously they would notice. The casual fan and general dumb sports journalist however...they don't know football anyway. When you pay attention to the line you can kind of watch all of them, although it's easier to look at one side first and then the other, unless it's a designed run with one side pulling. Again, Faneca's only real strength. If I had to rank last year's line in terms of overall at their position in the NFL: Brick: #2 LT Faneca: #8 LG Mangold: #1 C Moore: #3 RG Woody: #1 RT Yeah that's right, I have Woody rated #1, I don't know of any other RT I'd rather have in the league. So you guys saying that he's gonna be gone next year...well, as I said I like depth, but I would not understand that move. Faneca was the weakest, and he's still considered a top 10, maybe top 5 at his position. The Jets OL is amazing. That's also why I think TJ is such a scrub. For anyone that wants to challenge these, list up some other players you think are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I don't think anybody is looking to push Woody out the door. The fact is, he is 32, notorious for getting out of shape and hasn't exactly been injury free. It's not likely that he'll be able to perform at a high level for much longer and he's due around $5M per for the next three years. It's very likely the team will be better off severing ties before that deal is done. If that's the case, they'd better have somebody ready.

You need to have the backup plan in there, but right now he's the best RT in the league imo, so no need to rush it. Different situation than Faneca, who was expensive and had really declined and is probably going to be awful this year, and if not this year the next. Woody MIGHT decline badly in the next few, but then he might not. RTs can play for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Chargers signed G/C Matt Slauson to a two-year contract. Slauson also visited Buffalo following his Bears release. He'll take over at center for the Chargers after grading as a top-20 guard at PFF last season. Slauson's signing blocks third-round pick Max Tuerk and will push Chris Watt into a swing role on the interior line. Tuerk tore his ACL last season at USC, but remains the Chargers' center of the future. From left to right, San Diego's line is shaping up as LT King Dunlap, LG Orlando Franklin, C Slauson, RG D.J. Fluker, and RT Joe Barksdale. It'll be a solid unit if the members stay healthy, which they failed to do last season. Slauson is a very good pickup.
