Arian Foster and ball security

[esarmstrong]

Given the amount of criticism Mr. Foster has come in for by some fans about fumbling at crucial times when at UT, does anyone find this clip a little ironic?

I guess experience is the best teacher.

Not really, If you look at the stats, he fumbled around the same amount as most big time RB.

You just remember him more bc he did it on game winning drives. (Which I think was just bad luck.)

I find it more odd that he's a vegan.

most every player has some issues with fundamentals at one point or another. I am glad he is correcting it, and sharing it with younger players.

Foster wasn't fumble prone. He only lost 5 in 4 years. One was the QBs fault. He did however lose two big ones that noone will ever forget.

This. People decided he was a "fumbler" and then every time he did it, it confirmed their bias and it spread in the hearts and minds and virtually everyone believed it.. Turns out when you get a chance to look at the stats he didn't fumble that much.

The contempt a lot of Vol fans have for Arian Foster is appalling.

Too bad he had Stan Drayton as a coach his senior year.

Maybe for the fumbling. But he should have stayed away from the Fulmer diet plan during his time here. I remember hearing him on the radio a few years back, and he said he didn't realize that diet was important as an athlete, that he regularly ate pizza with two liters.

That is wierd. Everyone knows that most college students regularly eat pizza with two six-packs.

i was more disappointed with his lack of accountability than his 'fumbling' issues.
he fumbled at bad times therefore is known as a fumbler.
