Cooley/Fauria who's at TE?

Fauria is a stud blocker, big upgrade over Royal. His hands, I dunno, the Pats use a lot of trickery in goal line situations so I'm not sure if that is a critique on Fauria's hands or just a case of "those tricky Pats."

I guess the real question of who starts is how often we go with three wides, but now we have options.

bless Cooley, but he should almost always be up on the line, he's not really fooling anybody in the backfield as a lead blocker for Portis or in pass protection. he's always just been our trusty #2 reciever/safety valve.

gonna be exciting to see the offensive changes with TWO real #2 receivers in the offense now. i'm still hoping to see Sellers bludgeon holes from the backfield more often.

royal was in on most plays, i expect the same from fauria

Who is Jonathan Goodwin and is he any good? He's an o lineman? We're supposed to have just met with him.... tell me about him someone.

we'll be switching to a 3WR set... if only one TE is on the field, it should be cooley. Fauria can catch, but he's really going to just do everything royal did, but better (block block block block catch block).

backup C/OG for the jets. he's nothing special.

i remember Royal not being very effective at blocking. he was pretty athletic and wiley though, it's just we already had Cooley.

Scouts Inc. Profile:

Goodwin has very good size and is valuable because of his versatility; he's capable of playing all the positions on the offensive line. He is best suited to play guard or center. He has good long arms, a decent punch coming off the ball and gets good separation from a defender. He takes a good first step and takes good angles to his blocks. He has decent strength, but he is not a dominant blocker at the point of attack. He shows the ability to mirror and slide with a defender and has the agility to be able to pull on traps and to lead the toss play. He gets into position to make a play, but he is inconsistent with his hand placement and is more of a waist bender who gets overextended at times. He has a narrow base on pulls and has a tough time adjusting to the moving target. He shows he can get to the second level, but he is ineffective in sustaining blocks on a moving target. He lacks the strength to get a lot of movement on the line of scrimmage in the run game and gets knocked back by a strong bull rush. He has difficulty resetting his feet once he commits and is vulnerable to a counter move in pass protection. Overall, he plays with good intelligence and can provide backup help in several positions. He needs to become more consistent in his technique and work harder to finish his blocks.

thanks, great site feature. hmm, grizzled veteran jack-of-all-trades. hopefully he can block better than Royal did.
