Burgold Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 My first instinct is "ugh." I do believe in second chances, but even more so I believe in earned second chances. I remember being very against Haynesworth at the time of his signing because of reports he was a "bad" guy. Maybe Reuben can turn his act around, but he may also just be a bad guy. For the record, I was okay with the Peterson signing. That was partly because his problem had been several years ago and he seemingly had been a good citizen since, but also because, frankly, I forgot about it.

If they think he can stay out of trouble from here on out, then I'm all for getting a former first round pick for next to nothing. Especially with such a big game coming up. You think 3 days was enough for due diligence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I honestly couldn't care less. NFL/teams do what they want to do. No point wasting any energy getting upset at this signing when there is SO much shady stuff going on around the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a treat, the rare sanctimonious & sensitive forum goer. A cantankerous fellow who is not shy about blending his irascible nature with a bit of e-bravado. A pleasure to meet you, my friend. You reveal so much - a post about Reuben Foster has caused you to delve into your feelings and pose this e-challenge in the name of what, I wonder. The holiday season is tough on many, I hope you find more peace as the month of November concludes & December commences. Don’t bottle it up, talk it out, las. It’s unhealthy to allow yourself to get to the point where you want to passive aggressively challenging strangers on the net because you’re bothered, that you feel, they’ve insinuated, that they have knowledge about a 24 year old guys life. I thank you for the opportunity to respond to your feelings. Happy Holidays, Las. For starters, my new friend, Reuben was a victim of a shooting, while in his mother’s arms, before the age of 2. ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemoveSnyder Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I mean, unless the organization plans to build a dormitory for players at Ashburn where they can live, or more specifically, essentially build a college campus there, with housing and food services, and staff it, and all other ancillary buildings like for security and operational staff, essentially make a little town for the organization, it's going to be tough to keep tabs on a grown ass dude. I mean, Bruce can be camp counselor, tuck guys in at night and all, Doug can be hall monitor, but I can only imagine Meatballs / Porky's / Ernest goes to Camp type shenanigans once the lights go out. Ken Harvey can be the security chief. Dan can read stories to the guys off the back labels of french wines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything he's a real good dude. Apples to oranges here though to this -- can Foster turn things around, maybe. But there is a lot of smoke around Foster. For Guice it was zip as for character issues aside from a couple of phony rumors. No drug busts. Nothing. Foster on the other hand has had his documented issues starting with that weird incident/altercation during the physical at the combine that sent him home. Looks like a pattern of anger issues and drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a ton of range and is everything that our LBs especially Mason Foster is not. But am doubting the innocent part -- seems to be a pattern with this dude and where there is smoke.... Yeah we got three guys now with a past. This one to me is much more brazen for multiple reasons. If he can't get his act together with former Alabama team mates to lean on, as well as have a positive influence on him, this will surely be his last and best chance to continue his NFL career. Washington picking him up makes too much sense. This could be a major coo for both the player and the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That same guy who's only baggage was an unconfirmed verbal altercation with the Eagles (of which the Eagles brass denied)? Yes, that Guice, the elite RB prospect who dropped in the draft, without any baggage. How many RBs went ahead of Guice because of an unconfirmed verbal altercation with the eagles that the eagles deny? You can believe one of two things: 1) Guice dropped because the eagles, who needed a running back, didn’t know that they didn’t actually have an altercation with him, and the rest of the nfl was extremely bothered by this unconfirmed verbal altercation. or 2) You don’t know if Guice has baggage or not, and have no idea why he dropped. If you believe everyone passed on him for no reason, that’s not particularly rational, but so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not going to believe this because Howie Roseman came out and denied it. And so did Pederson.

Commander -JB- Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The reality is that this guy is an absolute mess off the field. I would assume the thinking is to surround him with a lot of his college teammates who he is familiar with. He was one of the highest ranking ILB coming out of college. It’s just hard to overlook everything off the field. The guy just comes off like a huge clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdiscokid Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Trying to glean someones real personality but outward appearances is futile. This goes way beyond football. Guice could be a jerk who carries himself well, dexter is likely a nice guy who is a manic when he does coke...Who knows, Ruben has had a hard life, to expect Cinderella to come out of that life is irrational. I am on board with not liking this signing but not for same reasons a lot of you. I believe in 2nd/3rd chances, just you have to keep making effort to get those chances. I also believe you deserve at least in court that you are innocent until proven guilty and shouldn't be prosecuted in media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's guilty you take the suspension, give him a chance to flourish and see what happens after that. The bottom line is that Reuben is a phenomenal athlete and that alone warrants another chance....Josh Gordon is the perfect example. But I doubt Reuben goes through half of what Gordon went through.

He was attacked by a group of people and the only video they played was him defending himself and the people he was with. And yes. it was with a belt. But was quite outnumbered. Either way it's nothing like what the POS Foster has done. The team has lost it mind here. Bruce is desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
