Sad the Saints took this plug over Beckwith.

He's had almost a dozen concussions in his lifetime. Not because of bad luck, but because the retard continues to lower his helmet and make first contact with the top of his head. Bama is on record saying this, and that they tried to coach it out of him early on. Just didn't work. And those hits will on;y get worse. Honestly, with his attitude, off the field issues and litany of injuries and concussions, he won't last 3 years.


I'm surprised 2 particular Alabama fans & Throbbinhood haven't showed up to tell you how wrong you are.

There are two major injury concerns with Reuben Foster.


Ryan Pace has to be severely cautious about injured players after Kevin White. Foster has significant injury concerns, and there’s no way he can be the first round pick.

Rotator Cuff Injury

Adam Caplan ? @caplannfl
Former Alabama LB Reuben Foster recently had right rotator cuff surgery, a league source said. Teams were informed of the surgery.

A rotator cuff is not normally a huge issue, but as recent as this week there were reports that Foster wasn’t healing well.

Reuben Foster's rotator cuff isn't healed per Combine Recheck. If it doesn't heal, he could be forced into another surgery a la Shaq Lawson.

All of this is per various personalities on ESPN's NFL Insiders.

Concussions

Apparently Foster also has a concussion history with which to be concerned. It’s happened enough that it’s almost a joke in the state, but most barbs come from Auburn fans. The most recent concussion came last year against Arkansas.

This thread was highly entertaining

They are too busy figuring out why the shine is not so bright on their life's work of promoting redneck U.

Oh and Big B, the proverbial "Moron" thrown out there when they hit the wall of "I got nothing". Every chat room they go to. The subject can be "Best Steak" and some how they will twist it into their homo-erotic fantasy's with little Nicky. Pretty scary, liberal scary...

Yeah, just a reminder. I'll be watching Foster to see if the coaches try and fix his tackling technique to prevent penalties and head injuries.

Yea, you just made that up. A dozen concussions? Really?

They're on the record saying this early on. And again on the record saying he improved his technique.

Video evidence from Foster's final collegiate game says otherwise.

I'm sure you have the gif on standby.


He's not a saint, you can stop your obsession. Even if he were, only time will tell how he develops as a pro.

For months leading up to the draft, you littered every Foster thread bashing anyone who posted anything critical of Foster. I stated multiple times that Foster was as physically talented as they come but his health history & ability to comprehend complex defensive schemes was a legitimate concern. You & TardSaint were complete homers in regards to any discussion regarding Foster. In the weeks leading up to & now following the draft, it seems NFL teams had the same concerns that was discussed on this board.

You acted a complete arse during the entire draft discussion surrounding Foster. You can go frick yourself. I could give a shite about Foster but don't get mad because people are posting facts about him that dispel the garbage you posted on here for months.

12 concussions is a fact?

This is comical, considering the time and effort you've put into every thread about him

Where did I say 12 concussions were indeed a fact? It's obvious there were concerns with his previous concussions, numerous "neck stingers" & the condition of his surgically repaired shoulder.

Negative, that would have been you. You monitored this board for months looking for any negative posts concerning Foster. It's funny though. You followed me in every Tim Williams & Rueben Foster thread to tell me just how wrong I was yet both Foster & Williams ended up being drafted (falling) in their respective spots due to the same issues I brought up months ago.

If this guy plays at all in the league he better change his tackling style because he will live with fines game after game. He leads with his helmet like a missile.

I think Foster will be a problem anyways, so they should be thankful the 49ers took him before they did. The guy had an ego problem beforehand, well, once he gets paid how do you think he will act then?? Nah, I'm happy he's a 49er!

Between his 69 IQ and his Rotator Cuff, I'm so happy our team didn't draft this guy.

I predict he will be out the league no longer than 3 years. Be it
injury, prison and/or his lack of IQ keeps him from playing well in the NFL.

Let him be someone elses' problem.
