No offense but this is the 1,000,000,000 post downing this guy. Some of his fumbles have been horrible and for no reason but so have been from a SEC linebackers hit so let the man enjoy his senior year and see what happens. He has had his good and bad moments but dang everyone acts like he shot Peyton or something.

He looses fumbles in the redzone on both ends of the field. No excuses. Plus he has a terrible attitude. He thinks he's the best player ever to strap up and will tell everyone on the field. He probably would be alot better if he would just shut up play and try to get better everyday.

Me too!! I think he is getting punished for his poor performance by not getting as many carriers or a chance for a sure TD and that is fine with me. He has stayed out of trouble off the field and as far as know not done anything to tarnish UT’s image.

GO VOLS!!!

so you know him personally and have seen this from the sidelines? Or did you make your expert opinion watching tv from your couch?

I don’t see anything wrong with a kid feeling that way when he straps the T helmet on. I am not making excuses for him but my god he is on the bench waiting his turn now. Is that not enough of a punishment?

I have not heard him run his mouth so I can't speak on that.

I think they are pretty spot on with their assessment. Now I don't think he is the tenth best in the country, because I don't think he is the best on our own team, but what they say about how he needs to run is true. He does tiptoe around when he needs to run with some more power.

I never bashed the guy personally, I just stated that he fumbles in the red zone, which seems to be fairly consistent for the year......as for the raiders comment, that was probably too much....but him and Darren McFadden? might not be a bad one two punch

No, no, and no he doesn't.

I noticed that Shonn Greene of Iowa has already ran for 1,000 yards. Pretty impressive.

Yes, clearly the recent increase in carries for Hardesty and Creer has revolutionized our offense. Foster must be horrible.

I think Foster could be a good NFL running back.

He has the body to bulldoze opponents, I think something has got in AF's head this year. Maybe he had his goals set to high? Maybe the UCLA loss still stings, regardless of his fumbles I wish him nothing but the best.

I agree. I said the same thing about G. Riggs as far as letting the media blow him up and only looking for the big play.

Foster has good potential as a back, but I think he never buries the last game. IMO. he should have bury the games that are behind him and look forward to getting better, he is trying to impress somebody, somewhere. It's almost like he tries to do much.

I wished he would have utilized his body frame more in college, but, maybe an NFL coach will turn him into a bulldozer like he could be.

Foster doesnt seem like the same back as he was last year. Obviously, the fumbles are going to hurt his draft status. Remember though, Jamal Lewis wasnt good his last year at UT.

Forgive me if its redundant because I already posted this the other day in another thread, but Lewis was coming off a ligament tear the year eariler, which they say takes about a full year to totally recover from. Plus he ran a 4.3 and could actually run defenders over, so even if he did let up his Jr year he still had that skill set going for him, unlike Foster.

Neither does our O line. I think the two go hand in hand. We have 3 excellent backs and none of them are impressive....I can't help but think that's the O line, lack of passing game, and/or something else.

Ive seen a study that surprisingly shows only 4 out of 10 people are faster than Foster. But they could be factoring in infants and the elderly.

Opinion of paid football experts.......ridiculous, biased message board posters.....paid football experts.....ridiculous, biased message board poster.....paid football experts.....ridiculous, biased message board posters.

Yeah, I'm conflicted about who to trust in that situation.

He mouths off at opponents after every carry. Why can't he just shut up and play. He's not that type of player, he plays better when he is humble like he was as a freshman. Also, he got into it with the head ball coach on national TV on the sideline after he gets a personal foul for pushing an opponent.

You would be. They are people just like us. If I had enough money to start my own site I would provide the same service as rivals.

Question: Is Lee Corso classified as a football expert in your eyes?
