Arian Foster got 2nd round projection

[Sudden Impact]

If that's all we got... everything I googled puts him in the lower part of the top 10 RBs out there.

I would be surprised he would be in the top 10. I would say he would be 14 or 15 and worse if depending on who is coming out early.

 

[VolinArizona]

who has averaged more?

On UT or in the conference or in the country? On UT, obviously nobody. But 17.5 carries/game is NOT being fed the ball.

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Foster has been fed the ball, when he doesnt run near as hard as Hardesty,

Hardesty has had a few good moments, but he has no field vision and he can't stay healthy.

 

[TNwoozie]

1) Why are you quoting yourself?
2) I love how hard Hardesty runs in the 7 or 8 games a year that he's been healthy. He hasn't done much to prove that he can take the pounding of more than 10 carries a game.

He holds on to the ball and runs extremely hard when he gets it. thats all you can ask for, Im not on a Hardesty for Heisman campaign I just think we can do better than Foster

 

[VolinArizona]

I like Hardesty as much as probably anybody on this board. He just has not stayed healthy. No matter how great a player is, if he doesn't see the field, he can't make an impact.

when it makes up 99 % of your run game , it is being fed the ball

He has to be able to get starters carries. He has, so far, not been able to stay healthy getting 5 carries a game.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

I do that from time to time, pay it no attention

TNwindbag, I pay about as much attention to your scribbling as I do TennesseeFan07's authorship.

Like I just said, its not about Hardesty. I think we have a couple of young backs that give us more of a homerun threat, Foster just looks like he is running in place sometimes.He has had some good runs but if he even considers himself a NFL back at this point he is dreaming

 

[vol271998]

There is something about Hardesty that just isn't right. He doesn't give up on the play but it just dosen't look like he hits the hole clean and hard.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

99 percent is grossly stretching his carry ratio.

Keep spewing untruths. Foster accounted for 55.3% of UT's carries (not even counting Ainge's sacks/scrambles).

 

[7IlikeOrange7]

I would be amazed if he could out run me. No way he runs a sub 5 sec 40. Bye Bye AF , hello Hardesty/ creer
Please go

wow a 5 sec forty? common now. casey clausen ran a sub 5 sec forty.. foster is slow but not that slow.. he is fast once he gets going.. it just takes him 30 yards to get to full speed

 

[GAVol]

I don't have the stats in front of me, but I'd bet that Foster probably didn't get much more than about 60% of the carries. He was definitely not what you'd call a "feature" RB.

Man that means alot coming from you, how was the Wildhorse last week?

Thanks for doing the research that I was too lazy to do. k:

I'll give you that one

cant get anything past you

 

[VolinArizona]

I've compared Foster to a sedan. Can hit the speeds most cars can, just takes longer 0 to 60.

 

[VolinArizona]

Foster got 55.3% of the team's carries, but accounted for 62.3% of the team's rushing yards.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

Anyone else want to see TNwindbag race Arian in the 40-yard dash? I bet Arian would have a ten yard seperation by the time he reaches the 20-yard line.

Just curious , where did he rank in the SEC?

Just because Im faster than him doesnt make me a better back. by the way I live about 5 miles from you so if you want to race we can meet

 

[VolinArizona]

Give me some time. This isn't a readily available stat. Gotta do the work myself.

 

[Jaytrain5]

no way he's not the slowest back in the SEC

I am 34 years old and I would smoke him , he gets out ran by every lineman on the field

Foster just looks like he is running in place sometimes.He has had some good runs but if he even considers himself a NFL back at this point he is dreaming

What's up with all this over-the-top Foster hate? Did he do something unmentionable to your girl or what?

While I find it hard to imagine an NFL team will draft him in the second round of the 2008 draft, I think it's moronic to say the things you've said about him in this thread.
