His #4 overall draft spot and an average rookie season has overshadowed all of the progress he has made. I think he's the guy to anchor the LT spot for the next 10 years, he's played really well this year in both the run and pass game. It's too bad Faneca declines as Brick progresses because having them both at their best would be fucking devastating. Faneca made it to the pro-bowl based on popularity.
Brick has improved every single year he has been here. His run blocking has gotten way better, an order of magnitude. Subpar maybe last year and certainly the year before, not this year. Sorry to say but Faneca isnt very good any longer, certainly not a pro bowler. Funny to say but Brick covers for Faneca way more than the reverse. According to this website Brick is the # 3 Tackle (in the entire NFL) when it comes to run blocking. Pro Football Focus Edit: I agree the all decade team is pretty useless.
no chance in hell that D would have us go 9-7. Assuming its all the players at their prime too our pass game would be much better then this year and C Mart and TJ would be number 1 rush game.
did you notice that our backup NT is ranked 5th? http://www.profootballfocus.com/by_position.php?tab=by_position&season=2009&pos=DT&stype=r&runpass=&teamid=-1&numsnaps=25&numgames=1
I like Richie but he was very overrated based on his Wes Welker like 2000 season where he caught a million dump offs.
I am pretty sure that he started for us longer than Sowell did. Also, Sowell was on the bench while Richie was the starter here so I don't see how he doesn't get the nod. If we were talking 1990s I could understand the case for Lorenzo Neal but for this decade, Andrson was the man.
Neal was w/ us for one season so he wouldn't get the nod either. Sowell started for us for 3 years this decade as did Richie. Curtis Martin had the best year of his career w/ Sowell as his FB.
LOL I thought 5th in run blocking? I was like Wtf...... If you look, look how good he is against the run. He is the #2 NT in the league against the run. That is amazing.
I don't know about that, as a pure FB I think Sowell was better. Anderson was more versatile but as a pure FB I'd definitely put Sowell ahead of him. Richie gets vastly overrated b/c of that 2000 season.
QB: Chad Pennington RB: Curtis Martin FB: Richie Anderson WR: Laveranues Coles, Santana Moss TE: Dustin Keller OT: D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Jason Fabini OG: Brandon Moore, Randy Thomas C: Nick Mangold NT: Kris Jenkins DE: Shaun Ellis, John Abraham OLB: Mo Lewis, Eric Barton ILB: David Harris, Jonathan Vilma CB: Darelle Revis, Aaron Glenn S: Kerry Rhodes, Victor Green P: Ben Graham K: Jay Feely KR: Leon Washington TE is the toughest since that's traditionally been our draft weakness. I went with Keller simply because I'd rather have him than any other one in their primes. This team could do some damage with a run-heavy offense and lots of play-action mixed in. The defense has to run a 3-4 and is pretty scary. It's just too bad that the Jets never put it all together this decade. BTW, I would never put a kicker that missed 2 fg's to make us miss the one shot at glory this decade.
That site is interesting. Much of the analysis looks dead on, but David Harris is not ranked very highly at all and according to that site, Tony Richardson is the worst fullback in the NFL!
