i just dont understand how you can separate the 2. And honestly have not read that he flat out lacks instincts.

His reaction to plays look great on film. He's good in coverage. He doesn't miss tackles. He makes big plays. It takes instincts & athleticism to pull that off

i don't know what people are talking about. People talk about mental smarts and translate that to not having good football smarts and/or instincts. That's all this cat has is football instincts. That is what Anthony lacks is on field instincts, anthony has the "smarts" just can't translate that to on field instinct and reaction.




i dont think ive ever agreed with you more chad (if ever at all)

Sometimes. Not always. Just depends on personnel. Give me the linebacker that can blow shite up any day. We' haven't had a true badass in years.

Eh, he also is apparently retarded and has a bad shoulder.

There are a lot of people, even Bama fans, basically saying this guy is one step above being a functional retard. But he can play football.

I'm fine with him if his meds and attitude check out.

He's also a natural leader that other players gravitate to. He was a beast recruiting host for Alabama. His teammates love him to death.

He will be there at 11, no combine, bad shoulder probably did poorly on the test and interviews. He is a risk

I wouldn't want foster if we got an extra draft pick to take him because I see him as nothing but trouble waiting to happen.

I expect that he will be suspended from the league for something, arrested for something, and cut/traded from whatever team drafts him just to get him off the team.

I don't know how you guys can just be so quick to ignore the signs that this guy is going to be just another pac man jones thug like ego and issues coming

Burfict is one of the best LB's in the game. But he is straight up stupid, a cheap shot artist and constantly causes his team to loose 15 yards and gets suspended etc...

Give me a smart guy with 80% of fosters ability.....over foster going full retard for 60 minutes.

Foster will get murdered in New Orleans. I would fear that also...cannot keep his mouth shut and the locals well.....just ask will smith.

Ok Jizzy-----hell anybody and lets see who knows what:

Friendly wager..... Between 3 picks in 1 st round.


I say RF goes between 24 Oakland 25 Houston and 26 Seattle... (Notice no saints picks)

What you got.

You expect this out of a father that has never been arrested or suspended and is loved by his coaches and teammates....because he was mean to an arrogant nurse?


Seriously, how did you reach that conclusion Dr. Phil? I'm genuinely curious since the kid has never been in trouble in his life

Rise up, that's great he is loved by his fans, teammates and coaches. That is awesome. But NO ain't Alabama. Lots of pros in that locker room. Brees etc...

Ask cooks how that works for him. Foster is a good football player.....just will not be a saint. Ok so now let's talk about Solomon Thomas or barnette who will be a saint.

Reuben Foster has never had a run-in with his coaches about playing time. He put in the work his first two years at Alabama and didn't complain once. Comparing him to Cooks is just fricking retarded.

You keep saying this like you have a say in who they pick.

Again, this thread was not started by an Alabama fan. Why do you get so fricking butthurt when an Alabama player is mentioned on this board?
