I chose a game that highlights the career of Alan Faneca, more than anything specifically related to him: he made others around him better, most notably Willie Parker. We all love Fast Willie for his big runs and speed in open field; however, we must all try to remember that without gaping holes to run through, Willie Parker was an average running back. Alan Faneca was the main reason Parker was able to break runs over 50-yards because he took the main defenders away from the line, and allowed other lineman to focus on inferior defenders. I would line Faneca up against Haloti Ngata any day of the week and bet my salary on Faneca. Few games are a better example of 66's dominance than the December 7th, 2006 game against the Cleveland Browns.
