I would be interested in hearing what everyone saw from him this preseason.

What I saw:
I only saw a half dozen pass blocking plays and zero run blocking.

To me Fano looked great against speed rushers
Great feet.

I worry about him against the power rush.
Seemed to get pushed back quite a bit.

Again I haven't seen much
Your thoughts?

He’s been to college. This year he’s going to go through SCHOOL…

I haven't see enough of him on the field to yet form an opinion. It's hard for me to know just how well one preforms in battle until I see them in a firefight.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I haven't bothered to see much. Seemed better at holding his ow pass blocking. This young front all needs schooled as far as run blocking, which may be stronger 9f they muscle up more for our backs. He didn't collect piles of flags. I think good feet will help. I like both Fanos. Pull for the fatties to find their way!

I'm not really worried about power after he's been facing Verse in practice.

I'm sure he'll be hitting the weights

I haven't seen much of the pre-season games so I can't really comment on Fano's play but our offense will probably struggle to run the ball this season as very few of our OL candidates are strong run blockers, this is from PFF, RT Howard had a 49.6 run block grade and was ranked #71 out of #79 for OT, LG Johnson had 52.8 run block grade and was #61 out of #75 for OG, and E.Jenkins had a grade of 60.6 and was #29 out of #39 for OC add in the fact that teams will probably stack the box against us since we don't really have QB.
