Dude has some quickness and tenacity with good size.

Like the pick.

Add to the rotation. We obviously needed help stopping the run and affecting the passer.

Athletic, explosion off the line, has long arms & can stop the run.

Keep an eye on Vernon at camp.

It'll be interesting to see what percentage of plays are 3-4 vs 4-3 or even some other scheme. And then to see who fits into each one on the D line.

The D-line might be great, it might be below average. I'm eager to see if the offseason changes bring about a whole new dynamic for the defense. Who knows, maybe Foskey will turn into a Baun type of player? As it is, he's not even a Martez Wilson or Kikaha type of player.

Judging from what I've read and his highlights it looks like we got a keeper. I have a feeling we got a great rotational player with a chance to earn more snaps. He's really smooth for a big guy. I hope he does well in our new 3-4 defense. I hear he's good against the run much like the rest of the defensive class.
