goldenster95 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Randle El looks like he's got some pretty good speed and has good hands, much like Lloyd. He's 5'10", 192 and will be 27 this August. Randle El is an outstanding athlete. He has outstanding foot quickness and excellent speed. However, he lacks elite top-end speed. It doesn't take him long to reach top speed and he shows that he is capable of creating separation from a defender by coming out of cuts with a burst. He has great body control and does not have to gear down to make cuts. He has excellent hands and can catch the ball away from his body and on the run. He is a treat whenever he touches the ball because of his slashing running ability and elusiveness. He is always a threat to turn a short play into a big play and does an excellent job with short-to-intermediate routes in the middle of the field. He shows great awareness and knows instinctively what to do when a play breaks down. He works hard at blocking downfield, but lacks the stature to be a dominant blocker. He lacks the elite speed to run by corners and get the separation needed to be a vertical threat and struggles at times to get off press coverage. He has great leaping ability, however, his lack of height will not let him win many jump ball contests. He tends to lose his focus and concentration and may drop some easy catches, but he has improved a great deal in this area. He is a dangerous threat as a punt returner and offers versatility to the offense with his ability to throw the ball on gadget plays. He needs to continue to improve his route running skills and needs to use his quickness more to get off press coverage. As for Fauria, he's 6'4", 250 and will turn 35 this September. Looks like he'll be used for possession type of downs. Fauria is a veteran player whose age is catching up with his career. He is a sub package tight end who plays in the two and three tight end sets in this offense. He has decent foot quickness and decent running ability although he is no longer the vertical threat that he once was. He works hard to get a release off the line and he has excellent hands and great focus and concentration when the ball is in the air. He has very good awareness in attacking coverages and even though he struggles to get separation versus man to man coverage his intelligence and experience allows him to be a competitor. He will make the tough catch going over the middle and he is an excellent target in the red zone. He lacks the size and strength to be a dominant blocker and he is not going to knock you off the ball however he understands blocking angles and he has the lateral movement and the foot quickness to be able to get into good position to make a play. He plays with a good base and good balance and he works hard to sustain his blocks. He has a bit of a mean streak and he doesn't back down from a challenge. He is a possession type of receiver who is still productive in the role he has been given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballGuy2677 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Heres a play I thought Of Clinton Portis: does play action with mark brunell Santana Moss: Runs towards mark brunell and after their done doing play action they do a reverse Antwaan Randle El: Gets the lateral from Santana Moss Clinton Portis: Blocks incoming defensive players Mark Brunell: Blocks incomnig defensive players Chris Cooley: Catches the ball thrown from Randle El to himself. Chris Cooley: Breaks 5 tackles and takes it to the house. Hmmm, joe gibbs should use that play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Gibbs II Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 This makes me feel bad for ARE. "He works hard at blocking downfield, but lacks the stature to be a dominant blocker" "He has great leaping ability, however, his lack of height will not let him win many jump ball contests." "He has outstanding foot quickness and excellent speed. However, he lacks elite top-end speed" The last one isnt that bad, but it almost makes me feel like he tries really hard to be something he almost could do but can't. Of course, this is part of being small just as one can't run a 4.3 if they are 250lbs and 6'5. And to be honest i dont feel sorry for him at all, but the way its worded made me think for a little... how hard it must be for a young small WR in the hard knock life of the NFL....
