YoungTexanFan said:
can anyone pull up a scouting report for when he was first entering the league. Maybe his combine numbers and wunderlic scores. Something indicating good or bad interviews?

Is this too much to ask or not?

Career Notes | Agility | High School | Personal | Stats

ANALYSIS
Positives: Has an even proportioned frame with adequate upper- and lower-body muscle definition … Frame has room to add more bulk and muscle with no dropoff in quickness … Has adequate quickness off the snap to gain advantage and above-average lateral agility to make the reach block … Engages with force and uses his leg strength and balance to gain movement … Shows good hand placement and agility to drive and sustain contact … Will position and wall off with quickness and consistently sticks and finishes … Has good body control on the move and can reach the second level with ease … Sets quickly with good awareness and engages with leverage in pass protection … Uses his hands well to control and sustain … Shows the agility to slide and adjust on the move.
Negatives: While he shows good hand usage, he is not really that forceful upon contact … Little bit of a waist bender … Needs to improve his upper-body strength and extend his arms better to prevent the swim moves … Can be pushed back into the quarterback as he does not always keep his feet flat … Has good lateral agility, but that quickness is not always evident when attempting to adjust to linebackers when working in space … Does not have the ideal power needed to turn up, seal and find the defender at the edge after his initial block.

COMBINE AGILITY TESTS
ARM HAND TEST 40 20 10 225 VJ BJ SHUTTLE CONE
32 9 5/8 23 :spy:
 
from what ive read the main reason he was replaced is that he is a bit injury prone and a bit light- id still take a shot at him, even with a 4th
 
He has an injury problem, and was placed on IR before. He also was a contract hold out and he's only been in the league for 3 years. He wasn't worth where he was drafted, however, I would still pursue a trade for him.
 
Browns | Team not actively shopping Faine
Mon, 13 Mar 2006 18:54:23 -0800

Patrick McManamon, of the Akron Beacon Journal, reports the Cleveland Browns are not actively shopping C Jeff Faine. The Browns have fielded calls about Faine, but will not make a decision on his future for another week or two. If the team's past is any indication, the Browns will talk to Faine's agent first.

I don't think we would trade for him anyway
 
I agree with Flanagan. Why should we even be messing with this guy if we have a shot a Flanagan. With Hodgen as a back up, that should solidify our center position. I think that should solidify our offensive line provided we draft Johnathon Scott or somebody of that caliber with our 2nd round draft pick.

Justin Blaylock? Or Will Allen a bit later?

So, when are we going to announce his 2 year, 15 billion dollar contract?

True, and coupled with Putzier, that would put the Offense only short a true #2 which Bush would sort of fill. IF, IF, IF that all comes true AND actually works, that's more than I expected could be accomplished in one off season.

What's with the Putzier love in this MB? The Broncos signed him to a contract last year because they believed what you believe: he is or will be a good TE. They ended up cutting him, I Bee-lieve.

So is Faine being shopped or not? We have a 7th round pick on its way to Cleveland already.
 
So, I just read on PFT.com that Jeff Faine has been given permission to seek a trade. Also, LeCharles RollsRoyce wants to wear double Bradford---I mean double zero as a tribute to Jim Otto.

That would be pretty cool. Kenny Burrough was the last (only?) Oiler with the number.
