Starting center

[fivetwos]

Biadasz didn't play at all last night. Does that mean he is definitely the starting center? I would guess so.

I thought Farinok played well. Made some nice second level blocks.

At this point I still question which one has the higher upside.

Or, what if Farinok was playing so well that he is the starter? I could see them playing Biadasz the whole game to see who the better player is.

It has never been in question. Biadasz is the starter.

However, I liked the push that Farniok and Tyler Smith were getting in the first half. The backs were running right behind them.

I did see a few whiffs by Farniok, but he is a solid backup.

To me, Farniok is a bit more aggressive, more athletic, stronger and gets to the second level (LBs) much more often and with more ease. Farniok overall performs better, but Biadasz is being favored due to 1 more year of experience and draft status.

I don't question who has the higher upside. It's Farniok by a mile. If Biadasz keeps his job it's because his floor is higher IMO.

I noticed one whiff that couldn't be missed. He was at LG for that one.

Yeah I think they will see Farinok as more versatile and he will be the backup.

As I mentioned last week, it's Biadasz' job to lose, and it appears that he hasn't done that.

100% agree.

Thing I also ask, would they be better as a unit with one vs the other.....similar to Collins being a better tackle than Steele, but the unit overall was better with Steele.

Probably something thats impossible to know until it's put to the test.

Are you talking about the run play where his guy tackled the back 2 yards deep?

Biadasz is just better buddy. There is no favoritism. You sound laughably ridiculous. 2 years in a row you have been wrong about Biadasz, farniok, and all the other centers you said were going to take the job.

Cmon, LOL

There is no way you are buying that. There is no favoritism.

At some point, you guys just need to admit Biadasz is better.

Favoritism, floors, ceilings? LOL

I guarantee you if Farniok were given the opportunity to play starter at Center for 1 game, he would not give the spot back to Biadasz. That's how much better Farniok is. Everyone sees it. You're just in denial bro.

 

[fivetwos]

Maybe. It was a run play early in the second half.

His man didn't make the play, but he clearly whiffed and it was right in camera view. I remember being let down after a strong first half at C.

I don't really know if Biadasz vs Farinok is gonna make or break this team, but center play is kind of a big deal IMO.

I wouldn't call it favoritism, but Biadasz was the starter all last year, and as I said last week, Farinok playing well may not be good enough.....Biadasz would also have to play poorly.

As far as how things look....I agree that Farinok looks bigger and stronger. He doesn't give up athleticism for size when he can get to the second level.

I've seen Biadasz play well in this league for more than half a season, then I saw him regress.

I'm really not sure what to think, and they don't ask me anyway. I just want the best guy out there.

I always recognize Farniok making good blocks on the 2nd level springing more space for RBs. In contrast I doesn't seem Biadasz even gets to the 2nd level. Am I tripping?

 

[Risen Star]

The thought of Pollard running behind Farniok is just intoxicating.

I really like what I’m seeing from Farniok right now, especially in the running game.

Believe your eyes bro. Farniok definitely gets to the 2nd level much more often and creates more running lanes for our RBs. It's favoritism for Biadasz at this point that Farniok is not starting.

Good question, I wonder whats going on there?
