crispirons Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 i didn't see the game last night, just saw the highlights. is there any reason to doubt why deshaun won't be the man? just curious how the others fared and how they looked. what i saw of fosters couple of runs, he looked quick and explosive. didn't see any of the others on the highlights. barring injury, foster should be an excellent 3rb, with potential to steal into your number 2 rb slot, no??

All so JJ Arrington will be the man in Ariz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKF Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I think the only real concern on Foster is fumbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaterMan Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Foster won't last the whole season with 30 carries. I highly doubt he gets 30 carries with the other talent they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this year he get's his chance, but if he continues to have fumble problems or durability questions, well then, I believe we will see the 2 Back attack Fox used in the 2003 SuperBowl run, but with Foster the #1 this time and Davis the #2. Then back that up with Goings and Shelton. Also, don't be suprised to see Shelton steal his share of goal line TD's. Peace PD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PantherDave Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Didn't he cough it up last night with nary a touch? 951708[/snapback] Yes, yes he did, and I can promise you pine time if he keep's it up. When he get's out in space he will tend to chicken wing it and bring it away from his body, with Foster it's a technique thing, but old habits die hard or end up putting him on the bench.

WaterMan Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 (edited) is there any reason to doubt why deshaun won't be the man? Aug 28 Updating previous reports, the Gaston Gazette's Steve Reed reports Carolina Panthers RB DeShaun Foster has conceded that RB Stephen Davis will be the team's starting running back opening day, if Davis' injured knee holds up. "We all know Stephen (Davis) is the starter," Foster said after Carolina's 23-20 preseason win Friday night, Aug. 26, over the Cleveland Browns. "That's how it is. We have a good player right there and he's going to help the team out and we're glad to have him back." The Panthers would like an offense similar to 2003 when they ran both Davis and Foster at teams every week. There were times when Davis was more effective, and other times when Foster carried the load. Foster is no lock to make it through the season with getting hurt. Right now the team has four other backs that could step in should Davis and Foster get injured. Edited August 28, 2005 by WaterMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I've read that Shelton is a bit more raw than they originally thought and that Goings might just be the RB3 there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
