re: Zach Cunningham > Reuben Foster?

Cunningham graded well for PFF but

Steph Anthony was the 3rd highest graded LB in his class going into the draft, per PFF. That said, it would also suck to have the same issues with a guy like Foster as we've had with Anthony

best case scenario is someone else taking foster ahead of us, and cunningham dropping into the 2nd rd. Otherwise stay away from both imo

This team needs a pass rusher since we couldn't get one in FA. ILB can be addressed in rounds 2 or 3.

Yes because rotator cuff surgery is a normal operation the majority of NFL players have.

He's wearing a thin little sleeve on his arm and Dr. BigBrod M.D. Is worried that sneaky Bama hid a forearm injury.

The Bama staff has talked about Foster being injury prone. He was always wearing some type of extra gear from the cowboy collar, that club or that extra padding for his forearm. I guess he wore those because it looked cool.

What is it with LSU fans and conspiracies?

Are you new to following football? Nick Saban & Bill Belichick are friends right? Does Saban not use & share ideas from Belichick? Who is the king of disclosing injuries to an extent? Bill Belichick. Whatever it takes to give the opponent the least amount of information surrounding injuries.

Most fans have no problem with Bill Belichick's public stonewalling of information concerning any and all Patriots injuries -- judging by their reaction on social media, many welcome it -- but whether they approve or disapprove, there's a reason he does it beyond simply being a curmudgeon.

And that reason was made clear in this conversation between former Patriots safety Rodney Harrison and Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. This is why you hide injuries, from the opponents more than from the public:

---

quote:

---

RODNEY HARRISON
"I look at a guy like [Carolina linebacker] Thomas Davis. Thomas Davis, he has a broken arm. [If] you don't think those offensive linemen for Denver, you don't think those tight ends [are] saying, 'Hey, every time we have a chance . . . ' If [Denver coach] Gary Kubiak . . . doesn't say, 'We're going to run directly at Thomas Davis,' then he's crazy. That's what you want to do. You want to try to exploit the weakness and you want to try to hurt their biggest weapon."

MIKE FLORIO
"That's why teams lie about injuries, and try to hide injuries, because they know the opponent is going to test that injury. If they know a guy has a bad elbow, they're going after his elbow. Bad knee? They're going after his knee. That's the way football's always been."

RODNEY HARRISON
"Great point, Mike. If I knew a wide receiver had a bum shoulder, guess where I'm going . . . ? I'm not going at his knees. I'm going right at his shoulder."

But if you don't know about his bum shoulder, you're not going there.

So that's why Bill does it.

With Mike Nolan coming in to run the LB'er corp I have not given up hope on Anthony at all.

Neither have I. I want SA to get all of Nolan's attention

deflect!

spoiler alert, Clemson is good. Not even great players win every rep. Good job for finding two this season that Foster lost. It's amazing you aren't employed by an NFL franchise yet, all these schmucks think Foster is a top 10 talent, but the omniscient BigBrod81 knows better

Deflect? Foster has Jordan man to man in the slot & gets burned. Jordan Leggett gets a good separation of at least 3 yards after shaking Foster out of his jock strap. Burnt toast.

so win some in coverage and lose some in coverage

So nice of you to use Foster breaking up a pass in zone coverage where he has safety help over the top while Trevor Knight makes a terrible decision & even worse throw.

quote:

---

that's the best you can do? two lost reps against the national champions?

---

He is just free lancing here. With no one to cover, he should have attacked Watson.





Missed tackle on Watson

your melt when he goes 11th or sooner is going to be glorious.

Foster running step for step with a future first round wide receiver in coverage, finds ball and break up pass, BigBrod is not impressed. Finds plays that foster isn't involved in to build false narrative even higher. Bravo, moron

You're seriously the worst. Your issues with Foster are boarderline obsessive and ridiculous. You pick and chose certain articles and only scouting reviews that fit your narrative. Not stats of Foster because it wouldn't fit your narrative. It's ridiculous and you ruin every thread with your constant links and quoting entire fricking articles and hilighting whatever you agree with.
Also your stupid gifs. Like the one of him getting blocked. Wow... he got blocked. Literally the only other thing he could have done in that situation is go under the block and not make the play.

Then you are an idiot if you blame him for that Clemson TD. He couldn't have got to Watson in time, plus you don't have a clue what his assignment was. Not a clue. From looking, they are in man so he had Legett, so no he wasn't "freelancing" with "no one to cover". He didn't do anything wrong.



And this one, the corner gets blown up and loses the edge. If the corner keeps his outside shoulder free it funnels Watson right to Foster. Not to mention Watson is a phenomenal athlete. Maybe he deserves some credit?
