Bringing someone in who just retired doesn't seem like a good idea. His head clearly isn't about football right now and he probably has other plans if he retired this early.

Yeah but it could just be repeated information from people on Snyders payroll. If they've witnessed him looking good with their own eyes, that's definitely a good sign.

Thanks, I try not to assume but if I had a guess it would have been the latter as well. I'm just hoping someone emerges from this group honestly

Future Captain Jonathan Allen. That dude is the definition of a leader

Can't really put much weight into what some of these guys are reporting about Haskins. Especially if they're under Snyder's payroll, after Foster's injury I can see fabricated events and information being put out on social media to generate some hype behind the team and get people excited. Obviously rooting for Dwayne, but I've followed this team long enough to know better.

With Cam it's probably 100% mental. The guy clearly has the ability to be a #1 but needs to put it all together somehow and win the coaches favor to get the opportunity to prove himself. Also that Pete Hailey tweet doesn't really say much. Is he involved as in getting a lot of looks in the passing game or is he just in a lot of lineups?

We need to pray that SDH becomes a star to make up for what we'll be lacking with Mason Foster. Mason Foster would probably be a really good football player if an NFL football field was half the regulation size. Unfortunately we're relying on yet another injury prone player here with SDH...

I think he was talking about Bynes, not Mason Foster

This injury is solely on the other Foster. Rumor has it that Reuben stayed over at Mason's house and got into a heated discussion with him last night about who was going to be the starter. Reuben had a few too many drinks and Mason offered Reuben his couch for the evening like the upstanding gentleman he is. The last words Reuben remembers hearing last night were from Mason Foster, he remembered them as clear as day "I'm the starter". When Reuben woke up this morning he noticed a strange scar on his knee but thought nothing of it, heck he was "dinged up" pretty much everywhere anyways so he figured he just never noticed this particular scar. Before practice today Mason Foster had a little more pop in his step and seemed more jolly than his usual self. Once the first play was snapped Mason was a little concerned and thought to himself "Did i mess the procedure up? It said on YouTube I needed to make a 4 inch incision...". When the second play was called there were two snaps on that particular play, and only one that brightened Mason Foster's day. With the team in complete disbelief over what just happened, Mason could be seen smiling and muttering to himself off on the sidelines "I'm the starter now". After practice concluded Mason drove home and found himself fascinated by Reuben and in deep thought he asked himself "How did he even run on that first play with a missing kneecap?" None of it made sense to Mason, but it didn't matter. When he arrived at home, neatly placed on his kitchen counter laid a 6 1/2" by 5 7/8" ziplock bag with Reubens kneecap inside of it. Mason looked at it while smiling, then proceeds to pull out his phone and text Will Compton who goes by "Baby Wolf" in his contacts. "The job is complete, I'm the starter now".

I'm fully expecting to hear that if Reuben Foster doesn't get his knee removed he will become a vegetable

Not even shocked, I've actually been mentally prepared to lose a couple of players in the first OTA. Good luck in your recovery Reuben

Solomon Thomas' sister committed suicide last summer, he's been dealing with a ton of personal issues because of it. I think it's fair to give him a year or two before he's determined a bust. SF also has been playing him at the wrong position since he's been drafted. Jonathan Allen still should have been the pick though.

I'm not as high on Harmon as a few others seem to be. His numbers are impressive but he doesn't really jump out to me when I watch him play. Actually the most impressive parts of his videos are Ryan Finley's passes, holy moly they're on point.

I'm hoping someone beats out Mason Foster whether it's SDH or Cole Holcomb, I don't care. He's a liability out there because of his lack of speed, every offense knows it and will attack him on the field.

I like just simply giving our 3-man front a nickname right now. "IPA" (Ioannidis, Payne, Allen) - Well-crafted crew. If Settle comes in and beasts we can just go with IPA'S (Settle) To me IPA is simple, not over the top, and sounds damn good. I cant think of anything for the front 7 honestly. Not sure if the whole unit warrants one yet.
