Fasano

[big dog cowboy]

No doubt Fasano was a serious reach

Fasano = Lafleur

Do you guys realize that this guy does not have the tools...nor will he EVER be used to justify his draft position. He is not a difference maker. Teams don't gameplan for him.

Wow. Just wow. Some people just don't get it. He is a rookie that has played in 8 games. Go back and research why he was drafted.

Research why he was drafted? Let's see, as a 2nd round pick and as a TE, I would hope he was drafted to make the plays you see Witten or Cooley or Gates or Gonzalez make...because if he was drafted to stumble over his own feet or be a mediocre blocker..he does that well. I don't care how many 4 yard catches he makes...a 2nd round TE that CANNOT get up the field at all is a reach and a bust.

 

[Hostile]

Oh brother.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Oh brother.

I concur.

we drafted him because we switched to the two te set, not to be the next great te like gates/witten/gonz

 

[Bob Sacamano]

he's a #2 TE, that would make him the 4th option in the passing game, at best

what are you people possibly expecting from him? esp. being a rookie, where the adjustment hasn't been exactly smooth for him per Parcells, he's shown glimpses though

Do you guys realize that this guy does not have the tools...nor will he EVER be used to justify his draft position. We could have had a OL or a WR for years to come....instead we get a TE that is to slow to ever really justify his draft position or to soft to ever be a dominate blocker. Was puzzled with this pick (especially with Witten on the roster) and will ALWAYS disagree with this position. He is not a difference maker. Teams don't gameplan for him.

I thought this thread was gonna be about "getting more receptions" because this guy fights for every inch unlike Witten...

 

[Joe_Fan]

Personally I think Fasano rides the short bus.

 

[Joe_Fan]

Really to early to tell.....but, I like his hands.

And I like how he falls down after catching a pass with nobody around.

And I like how he makes stupid mistake after stupid mistake.

Oh wait...

Fasano is a rookie and has at times played like one, he'll probably be the most productive pick of the 2006 Draft class however.

I like what he provides us so no ... I don't agree at all.

Will he ever be someone that opposing dc's have to gameplan for? Probably not I'm not positive but that's what makes him dangerous. Don't game plan for him I don't care ... he'll catch it when it's thrown to him most of the time so the less attention he gets the better off we are.

Should be typically the 5th option really.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing ?



I see what the thread starter is saying, but it is far too early to judge the potential worth of a rookie draft pick. I am not a Reggie Bush fan, but the endless gushing over the kid was nauseating, I was happy that he had a piss poor game a few weeks ago so they would stop showing every 3 yard carry the kid had , but you cant deny the kid's talented. I believe that a 2nd rounder is a reach for the type of player that Fasano is seemingly expected to be in a 2 TE set. The only explanation I can come up with is that the Cowboys possibly thought they werent going to be able to sign Witten to an extension.

Who have the Skins drafted? Oh wait no one because they have no picks.

 

[TwoSteppinJJ]

I dont think Fasano is too slow, I know he doesnt have blazing speed but he does have typical TE speed. His blocking has been good so far except for when hes taking penaltys and had mental mistakes. Fasano has played well for a rookie in my opinion. Too much bashing going on around here.

We'll have to live with the pick its not like we can go back and do it over again, so theres really no point in crying about it.

Not everyone has the sense you have summervillain.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

Not everyone has the sense you have summervillain.

slice it anyway you want..but on a team with the 2 starting WRs 1 or 2 years away from being shown the door...on a team where the LT, C potentially out the door at the end of the year, we do not have 2nd round picks to waste on 2nd TEs. He could not even fill the role Witten fills if Witten got hurt. He fills the role of Dan Campbell with better hands. That is not a guy I think you have to draft in the 2nd round

Here's the problem I have with the pick. Understand we were implementing a 2 TE offense so we needed draft another TE who capable WR/blocker opposite Witten. Fasano may be that guy BUT was there another TE who would be available to do the same thing so we wouldn't have used our 2nd round pick on him but instead could have used it on an OL.

Agree it's way too early to evaluate our 06 draft picks but we did cut Stanley (6th rounder) and Green (4th rounder) but did bring latter back to PS but he sure isn't a gimme to remain on this team beyond this year. The remaining players will have to wait on but do think Hatcher, Watkins, & McQuistan will contribute as well Carpenter & Fasano but frankly I'm thinking we should have use our 2nd round pick on an OL & drafted a TE latter in the draft to be legit TE opposite Witten. But of course this is whole hindsight and worth nothing.

It is MORONIC to whine and cry about a pick 8 games into his first season. yes he has made a bunch of mistakes but he is a rookie. What is Wittens excuse? Or any of the rest of them? Just plain dumb is what this thread is.
Green can be looked at as a possible bust since he was drafted mainly as a PR and KR and so far he has done neither worth a damn; Carpenter has barely played at all. so for you to focus on Fasano indicates just another stupid agenda.
