26CornerBlitz Posted July 19, 2016 Author Posted July 19, 2016 @PFF How does Arian Foster fit in with the Dolphins? @PFF_Sam weighs in: https://goo.gl/DPOu6d
Blokestradamus Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Am I wrong to mock this signing? If he stays healthy, he's their best RB. Savvy receiver that might be going against 240+ pound LB's in isolation vs the Bills. Not wrong to mock because history says that he might not make it to Week 7.

CommonCents Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 The Texans did his career no favors... 327 carries in 2010 278 carries in 2011 351 carries in 2012
YoloinOhio Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) They love to replace young players they drafted and developed who are just hitting their prime, with old players they didn't draft who are past their prime. It's the Tannenbaum way. Edited July 19, 2016 by YoloinOhio
H2o Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 I believe he will end up being their #1 RB come opening day..............until he gets injured. The guy is brittle, but they need him despite all the talking up of Jay Ajayi. Kenyon Drake is also another guy who could see a lot of time on the field, but I don't know if he has a running style that will fit as he is a speed guy who likes to bounce everything outside.
CommonCents Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 1 year 1.5 million.. IMO that's a good deal for the Fins.
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Always a productive back when on the field, and always a good fantasy back. But I never watched a game and thought "Foster is going to kill us". It was this attrition thing, and you always thought anybody could be doing what he was doing. Curtis Martin was kind of like that for me during his career (without the injuries obviously). Never watched him do anything that special, but he was just - good. For a really long time.

Never watched him do anything that special, but he was just - good. For a really long time. Exactly; he wasn't a big play guy but he was a great fantasy back. You could count on 100 yards and a TD every week; he almost never laid an egg. Workhorse for two league titles for me. Yes he's got miles on him but this is a good signing by Miami. Very low risk for a determined runner. He might be their Fred Jackson.
BarleyNY Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 If he stays healthy, he's their best RB. Savvy receiver that might be going against 240+ pound LB's in isolation vs the Bills. Not wrong to mock because history says that he might not make it to Week 7. I sure agree with the the first two sentences. I wouldn't mock it though. Not unless Miami gave him a stupid contract, which I doubt is the case. While Foster hasn't been able to stay healthy of late, but has been very productive when he has been able to stay on the field. He can help that team if they don't overuse him and he's able to stay healthy. If not, I doubt the Phins have much to lose.

It'll be good or bad depending on how durable he is. For the Fins, I actually like the signing. I thought they were idiots for letting Miller go but their backfield is nicely balanced if they stay healthy.
eball Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 I think it's even money Foster doesn't make it out of preseason healthy.
Doc Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 I think it's even money that all his past injuries make him a shell of his former self. Never mind getting injured again.
eball Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Arian Foster (30 next month) or Reggie Bush (32 next March) -- who is the less risky signing?
YoloinOhio Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Arian Foster (30 next month) or Reggie Bush (32 next March) -- who is the less risky signing?whichever one you would be depending on more. Is it a depth signing or someone you actually need to start or play a big role? Depth signings are rarely risky. I don't think age is as much of a factor as the type and number of injuries sustained, number of carries, and style of play with a RB. Edited July 19, 2016 by YoloinOhio
