bilzfancy Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Alabama's LB Foster got into a heated argument during his physical with a hospital employee and was sent home by the NFL, although the confrontation never got physical. He checked in at 6 Ft even, 229 lbs and was one of my picks at 10, wonder what this does for his draft prospects now.

Well, if the Bills are looking at "high character" guys only, not being able to get through a physical without getting into an argument with hospital staff is pretty damning.

Juice_32 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 The tape don't lie. This kid is a stud. If he is there at 10 there is a good chance we pull the trigger on him. Â Let the rest of the story come out but he wouldn't be the first person to freak out in a hospital. I hate those places.

H2o Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Foster is an outstanding football player, but this isn't a good look for a young man to get sent home for something like this. If the problems outweigh the talent then teams will shy away from that, especially early. He may have just cost himself quite a bit of money.
BuffAlone Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Very bizarre story.As for what to do with him it all depends.if we hang into Z Brown,I'd have him at the Wlb,Foster at Mlb,and Rags at Slb. Otherwise it's Foster at Wlb,P Brown at Mlb,and Rags at Slb. Of course all of them should be somewhat interchangeable, which would allow some disguised looks. By no means am I saying to play Rags at Weak,but you get the point.it'd be a nice question to have.....
aristocrat Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 had to be pretty bad to get sent home from the combine. an argument is one thing...this is something different

hemma Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Rotator cuff surgery + being porky with civilians doesn't sound good.
NewEra Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 agreed, he is a baller, but what to do with him, play him inside and move Ragland out side or visa versa? Play him outside imo. He's still #1 on my bills draft board. Though that could change based on what we find out rhere grading the incident. He's just what this defense needs, especially if we lose zach brown.
CommonCents Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 You're not you when you're hungry. Have a snickers, don't get sent home dummy.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Ernie Adams behind this. Paid the hospital employee to get into altercation with Foster. Let's not forget they need a replacement for Hightower now.
BuffAlone Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 So he's a young man who thinks he's entitled to anything&everything. ..sounds about par for today's youth.That don't diminish his skills tho,and shouldn't drop him out of a top 15 pick. I don't know why,but I always saw Ray Lewis in the same light. Confidence, or entitlement? Either way,he plays angry. A shot of attitude might go a long way on this roster,imo

NewEra Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 That would be a ton of draft capital dedicated to the ILB position, I don't see that as being successful. i don't see him as an ILB in our scheme. I view him as an OLB playing next to Ragland. I have zero confidence in Preston. Zach may be too expensive. As of now, I believe we have 1 legit LB (Ragland) and he's yet to play a down. If we resign Zach or another good LB, Ruben isn't needed. But as of now, our LB unit is a one man show

blizzardman Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Seems like the combine is trying to prove they have a conscience all of a sudden this year.
