I like the way you think Boston because I feel the same way! :doh:

FYI

May have a point ... Cameron Jordan was slow his first year.

This.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

Yeah, yeah but we've all seen PLENTY of players with hustle (Lalos) out there in these pre season games. I have yet to see any type of pass rush from Isaiah. Show something.

Foskey needs to kick it up a notch ... at practice and in this last pre season game.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

Agreed, but Lalos has been playing honing his skills in the farm leagues.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

So what you are saying is that our highly rated 2nd round prospect is probably looking at a "redshirt" year, won't contribute much & needs quite a bit of work ;) ?

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

I didn’t like the pick at the time.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

It takes some time to get up to speed for DE's. If that's the case, then why do we keep picking projects that should take even longer to develop?

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

Probably the same reason most other teams do it. While they may take more time to develop than other positions they are too important not to have on the roster to be in the process of development.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

Too early to tell heretofore. All we have is what history told us happens, like what Cameron Jordan did his freshman year as a Saint.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

One could argue that Foskey has greater ability than Turner or Davenport bc the greatest ability is availability. It would be a positive to see the lights come on earlier, and when they aren't, we know they may never be. But, at least he is on the field and he didn't cost a 1st round pick. It may be easier to teach him moves than to teach other players durability. The same issues with Foskey can and have happened with top 10 picks failing to develop, so maybe this teaches the lesson that you want more picks no less because its a crapshoot. Unless of course we are so amazingly deep that we need to trade up because we don't have roster spots for 5 rookies. Haven't heard that one lately and sure didnt look like it against LA. I would rather a player who plays too upright than one who watches too reclined.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

The subject of OL depth came up again today on NFL Radio while mentioning the rash of injuries that Chicago has experienced with their starters already. They said there's just no quality depth out there in the league today at those positions. They were mentioning a 40 year old Jason Peters as the best available, if you could even call him that at this point. And the supply is so low that he could still ask whatever he wants and get it eventually.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

Like Bako said it’s super early, however BIG PICTURE, I just hope that Saints didn’t swing and miss on a 2rd draft pick. Personally, wasn’t thrilled about the selection but what the hell do I know 🤷🏼 ?


Remember the CB with the fancy french name we selected in rd 2 years back?

Stanley John Baptiste …. oh boy.

Good luck Foskey. You have work to do.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

Let's at least give him as much time as Cam Jordan got. That's fair, right? But, as you pointed out, what do any of us know?

:chug:

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

I still like the “What the Foskey?!” line that one of y’all started. Lol. It’s perfect if this guy is a bust.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

Thank you... :D

WTFoskey!

He'll be fine!

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

I want to know the circumstances. Its pretty easy to get a sack if Penning completely whiffs on the block or Peat has a funnel cake in one hand and grease and powdered sugar in the other. I hope Foskey progresses over months and years but I am skeptical of a quick fix of one win in practice with no details.

Re: Saints Pick 2.09 - DE Isaiah Foskey
 

Lol 😂
