Faneca Wins “All Fundamentals” Award from USA Football

Posted on December 11th, 2009 by Bassett

USA Football has given out their awards for their “All Fundamentals Team” and one Jet, Alan Faneca has made the list. The players are selected for their abilities in certain fundamental excellence in the game coupled with their community work, and Faneca was selected for his Combo/Zone Blocking abilities.

Alan Faneca is an All-Fundamentals Team Guard because of his adeptness at combo and zone blocks. Starting from a good three-point stance, he fires off the ball with a good base to turn the defender’s shoulders so the Center can take over the block, then works to the second level to block a LB.

Congrats to Alan on the award. Ironically, the six man selection panel consisted of a number of former players, and coaches, including one Herman Edwards.
