NoVaSkins21 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 So I guess Foster is the missing piece they needed. Seriously, SMH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumplestilskin Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Fosters GF has addmited to lying about domestic violence on more than one occasion. This is still a PR nightmare no matter how you slice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I mean....he’s a fantastic player right? Could change our defense drastically? Or am i wrong on that? im just hoping he doesn’t get suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question though is what kind of guy he is. Clearly, not a good dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I don't like this as of right now. Dude has been involved in enough trouble already that I don't look at this as a "Everyone deserves a 2nd chance" situation. Also, this isn't the Patriots organization, where everyone seems to magically fall in line in the name of winning a championship. Not sure this is a place that is equipped to keep him on the straight & narrow. One thing is for sure, this can't be a situation where they keep him around if he gets involved in this kind of stuff ever again. This bothers me.

Foster is talented no doubt, but obviously he doesn't have very good judgement. I think he is the one whose ex girlfriend made horrific claims in the past, but then retracted her statement and said she made it up. Now this. At best he isn't a domestic abuser he just surrounds himself with questionable characters who makes false accusations which is a problem as well. But false accusations twice?? And it's very possible he did beat his ex girlfriend and she only retracted after he paid her off. Maybe skins think he is innocent and Allen payne Anderson and the bama boys can have a positive influence on him in terms of who he hangs out with. Very puzzling.

skinsfan834 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 In the first time in ages, I actually think we have the right culture in the locker room to support a Reuben Foster type player. But just days after he was arrested for domestic abuse suspicions? I'm doubting he ever actually plays a down for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 How many games would he miss if the league decides to suspend him? It would be just our luck to get him off waivers just to have him be suspended the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean it literally, saying the question about him isn't his player but the person. I know Foster and his background very well. Spent enough time on it that draft season. The character stuff popped up in a big way when he was kicked out of the combine -- with his bizarre episode getting his physical in the hospital. Then you got issues with pot, domestic violence.

NoCalMike Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 It's the Redskins so he will probably be suspended for the rest of the season at the least. Not even saying he doesn't deserve it either, but we all know what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
