4. Undrafted free agent Renardo Foster made a lot of NFL teams look silly for passing on him in April. The Falcons rookie got his first start at left tackle, thanks to an injury to Wayne Gandy, and performed admirably. Foster protected Harrington's blind side and did not give up a sack to Giants right end Osi Umenyiora, who leads the NFL with seven. Foster even got under the skin of one Giant in particular, Sam Madison, who ripped off Foster's helmet in frustration after a clean block at the tail end of Norwood's 67-yard TD run. Many general managers and directors of player personnel around the league will argue that, after quarterback, left tackle is the most important position on the field. To plug in an undrafted free agent and have him hold the NFL sack leader sackless is unheard of. Credit goes to Petrino, who coached him at Louisville, and Falcons GM Rich McKay for recognizing Foster's ability when no one else in the league did.

Rams released OT Renardo Foster.

The Rams beat several teams to the punch when they plucked Foster off waivers in June, but he may not be ready to contribute after last season's ACL surgery.

Credit our coaching staff for finding and developing "unknowns" into quality players.

Strief and Nesbit are the LT's this week. Nesbit can play every position on the line. Leckey can play G and C.

Foster probably won't help us this year, but look out next year.

He is listed at T, but he played G and C in college.
