When you’re right that time, you gotta milk it hard. But we have Alontae in the branch role imo which I’m ok with. But foskey sucks

his draft profile literally stated he was raw but talented and if you coached him up he would be a good player in the future and yet the collective genius of saints talk have already cut him off after 1 year because he isnt HOF level yet

Dude had 83 snaps last year.

"Why is it that the Saints are one of the few teams that draft players who never get better?"

He has been bad In that role, which I have been saying since day one.

He is too stiff to play in the slot.

he started out rough in transition. i'm pretty certain he got much better later in season.

People have zero patience these days. I don't know if Fosky steps up his play but saying "he's done...sucks...cut his arse" is simple minded.
Joe Horn WR
First 3 years in league.
18 receptions

i don't really see any nfl caliber pass rush moves. his best bet is to be some sort of solid rotational depth but who knows, we shall see.

Yup. DA yesterday on Foskey seemed almost a bit exasperated saying " we told him to just let it lose, let it go he's thinking too much. Just play full out and we will correct your mistakes. "

ahh... but Joe Horn wasn't a 2nd round top 50 pick, now was he? you are comparing apples to dog shite... and you know it....

you draft a guy in the 2nd round, you need him to produce... Foskey has not shown ANYTHING to warrant his draft position, and the lack of reporting on him thus far this offseason would lead me to believe he ain't improved in the slightest....

he WILL be a fricking bust... straight up, just accept it.... we missed on yet another draft pick

He struggled in the slot, he’s a lot better boundary cb. Even got benched last year one game going off memory. Right now we have 4 corners that are all better suited to playing the outside.

You also left out my proclamation that Achane was going to be better than Miller. After last year doubt anyone wants to argue that one either….

best pick of our draft, so far, and it's not even really close... you don't become the all time leader in sacks at a program as storied as Notre Dame by accident... the dude is a good player, and should be a day 1 starter for us, considering how weak we are at the DE position across from Cam

I never included draft position in my analogy. You did My point which flew over your over emotional head was patience. Your post is a example of no patience. Congrats

Won in college because of his nonstop motor but that isn’t enough in the NFL. He has to actually learn pass rush moves and leverage technique.

No, too stiff to play at this level. He’s not very good. Might be time for him to go
