Just heard Tanny reveal their plans to replace Faneca on 1050 ESPN.
Rookie Ducasse will compete with last years aquisition Slasun for the
starting left guard spot. My money is on Slauson given that he's
already had a year in with the offense.

You can be sure BOTH of them will be a better pass blockers than
Faneca and BOTH will be more affective at the point of attack popping
open holes.

We can be sure? What if Slauson is Adrien Clarke?

Ducasse is a very good prospect, but the knock on him was that he was
raw. Granted, we're talking about guard and not quarterback here, but
it's still a tenuous spot to put themselves in.

I hope Woody puts the money he saves in an uncapped year towards a
children's hospital or something, but I bet he takes it to Atlantic City
instead.

Mark. Last season Slauson came in the Tampa game. Right away, he
started blowing his guy off the ball. You saw holes between him and
Mangold that you would never have seen between Mangold and Faneca. I
was super happy to see Slauson in because Faneca had gotten blown up
for big sacks the past few weeks. I was hoping they would keep him in
full time after that. Slauson can play. He was very well regarded
with the Huskers and thought to be a throw back to the Husker guards
of the 1980's. To people who listen to the radio and TV commentatos
and see the probowl roster, losing Faneca means the end of the Jets
offense. To people who watch the games and know the players, going
from Faneca to Slauson is an upgrade.

Possible... I think he'll end up as a guard. His arms are a bit
short.

Stop. You're both right (Certs is...)

If he beats out Slauson for LG, Vlad may play at guard for this year and
next and then move to RT.
