Faneca on the Radar?

The dude, even at 33 is a baller, and would give us the type of push we need up the middle to score from the damn 1 yard line. If he gives up a sack once every four games, but lets Tate run thru 4 times from the 1, we win in that signing.

Just my thoughts.

Faneca was protecting a rookie quarterback in a "don't lose the game for us" offense. I would presume Sanchez held onto the ball too long at times and was told not to throw a pick at all costs at others. I wouldn't get too worked up over the Jets' sack totals last season.

And I agree that we need two guys we can run behind in this line that can get us the tough yard on third-and-one or third-and-goal. Don't care which two guys those are but we weren't getting any surge most of the year when we needed it most.

Anyway you look at this, Faneca would be an upgrade for our Oline. Not to mention veteran leadership for Caldwell.

I agree that Schaub had a lot to do with that number. Unlike HWWNBN, Schaub is very good at finding open receivers. He rarely pulls the ball down. Also, he's not afraid to just throw the ball away. In a strange way, his lack of mobility has been an asset. It has forced him to learn to get rid of the ball.
