Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
"Small potatoes"....this shows the mindset in which this decision was made. It's not that they are giving him the benefit of the doubt, its not that they are relying on a large support group to help a young guy make better decisions; it's that it's not seen as a big deal. Williams said they all sat down and discussed this at length, based on these comments we can infer what was said in the meeting.
Next to say that if he worked at mcdonalds that this would go unnoticed or would not stop him from getting a job....that is a horrible justification or explanation of why this is ok. We don't wear the name tags of our favorite mcdonalds cashier on our chest, we do wear the name of our favorite player on our back. That is why football players are under a microscope and while they are young and immature--it doesn't change that fact. No one wants to be under that microscope but it justifiably comes with the job. The skins will and should get shit for this. They didnt evem send out Bruce or snyder to talk. The comments after the fact truly put this move into perspective. In 2 years I'm sure foster will be a good player on this team. It doesn't make it ok. We did a bad job today. Maybe he gets his shit together and at the very least gets the help he needs or if in the case he is innocent, surrounds himself with better people. |

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
Also...due to this piss poor year, I can never tease my raven and cowboy fan friends for having organizations who love criminals. That was one of my favorite things. That is now gone and if for only that reason, this sucks

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
Like I’ve said, I have zero faith in this team until Bruce Allen is removed from the organization. Mistake after mistake

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
The other weird twist about this whole thing is the Bama players on the Skins saying they were never asked about Foster.

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
It's really sloppy all around. F Bruce and Dan for sending out Jay and Doug to take the heat. F whoever decided to say they consulted the players when half the players said nobody consulted them. F everybody for prioritizing the talent over his DV issues (real or not) in addition to the myriad of issues he's had since he came into the league.

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
Honestly this par for the course with the current Skins, I am not even shocked.
I like the Redskins because of Joe Gibbs, this board and I was born there. Outside of that I really not a big fan of the current team/regime.

Which brings us to the frightening reality that this kind of front office management may be here to stay as long as D. Snyder is around. Which it looks like he will be for a long time.

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
The minute the press release from Doug Williams came out I thought that if this thing blows up DW will take the heat, if it pans out Bruce and Dan will take all the credit. It all starts at the top and this organization is going nowhere until there is new leadership at the top.
