But you told me he had problems picking up the scheme for two years.

@RobertKlemko
Adding some detail to Reuben Foster incident which led to his dismissal from combine, per source.


@RobertKlemko
Foster grew impatient with long line for exams... pulled the 'do you know who I am?' card.


@RobertKlemko
A male hospital employee, unimpressed, told him he would wait like everyone else.

@RobertKlemko
Foster warned the man that he'd put hands on him, and the employee said, simply, Do it.

@RobertKlemko
That's when the "face to face, heated exchange" happened, as Schefter reported.

In the streets, yeah. During a job interview process, not so much.

Absolutely awesome.

Hospital workers have seen it all and don't give an absolute frick. He's just like "do it bitch". So great.

Mocks are already reflecting Foster dropping like a rock.

Really? Wow.

I want nothing to do with this guy, personally. There's no way you can spin this as anything but a red flag.

i'm somewhat curious if Allen AND Foster have serious injury issues that if it leads to a "tarnish" on Bama guys coming out

it's literal examples of the whole "Saban chews them up and spits them out" argument

Yeah. Both Allen's shoulders are apparently fricked and of course Reuben had the cuff tear. And is apparently a tPOS.

So Foster got punked by a medic and got his panties in a wad. What a pussy. No way the Saints should draft him.

Don't worry, there will be an idiot here shortly to call you a Bama hater while telling you just how wrong you are. Teams aren't worried about Foster's injury history!!!!!!!!

When Steen, now with the Miami Dolphins, caught up with The Palm Beach Post’s Joe Schad, he talked about dealing with injuries that season. He said players continuing to play when they shouldn’t is a problem in Tuscaloosa:

But Steen, who is known as a tough competitor, seems regretful that a required shoulder surgery did not occur until after the conclusion of his final Alabama regular season. Steen suggested he should not have been playing.

“Football, a lot of it is mentally,” Steen said. “If you can work through pain, you can go. But at ‘Bama, that was the problem. A lot of things you went through and you shouldn’t have. You should have stayed off of it. That’s why a lot of guys from Bama are hurt.”
