claptonrocks Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 [quote name='Jamie_B' post='612335' date='Dec 21 2007, 06:25 PM']I highlighted the part where you said "Even With Faneca Im not sure Id trade them line for line even up....." as in no way would I do that. Would I let Stacey walk move Whit to RT and sign him? Maybe, but only at a fair price, and I think he wants to be paid. Now this anamosity for the steelers he apparently now has, might make him cheaper to one of their rivals, and if so I'd jump on it. But I dont want to pay him to be the highest paid G in the league, (at 31) when we have bigger needs on the other side of the ball. We draft well on O, and can get a G in the draft. (or if there is a cheaper opition in FA).[/quote] This is a good year for OT's in the draft and some very good guards... None better than Duke Robinson of Oklahoma though.. guy is massive roadblocker and protects well... 6'5 345lbs give or take.... second rounder right now.. team that gets him will probably have a quality guard for years to come.

bengaled Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 [quote name='Tigers Johnson' post='612227' date='Dec 21 2007, 01:02 PM']That is why I suggested moving him to RT and sign Faneca or another good guard to take his place at LG.[/quote] fuck that... sign faneca and have him take over at center, thereby killing 2 birds with one stone. i have absolutely zero concerns he could handle the job. our OL would move back into elite status, yes, even better than the days of richie braham. guard play isn't our big problem. guichek's the weak link.

claptonrocks Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 The more I read about Duke Robinson guard out of Oklahoma the more Id like to see the Bengals take a shot at him....this guy is one of the best prospects at that position in a long time...dont think he has any real weakness ....dude looks unmovable .. Be sweet to land him in the third round ...may not make it that far though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsfan850 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 don't tell me this wouldn't be a badass line levi- stacy- faneca- bobbie- whit OR levi- faneca- guychec- bobbie- whit but i don't see us signing faneca, i think he goes to arizonia and i'd rather use the money to get dansby or suggs but if it happens, watchout our O will improve dramaticlly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never heard Faneca wasnt a good pass blocker just that he's an Outstanding run blocker... Id say by all the accolades laid on him that he's pretty damn good at both.. He's not making the probowl every year for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Add Faneca at center plus a linebacker like Briggs to go along with Brooks & were an elite team. A few good draft picks wouldn't hurt either. I know I know we can't afford any free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
