Foster, IIRC, was recruited by some college and then transfered to Tennessee, which means he sat out a year. He also waited until his senior year to enter for the draft so that counted an extra year. Did he not also take a redshirt year for an injury?
As for picking up that tough yard, I remember differently. Yes, he was good at stretching for the first down. But on 3rd-and-1, we ran an off-tackle to the left so many times that we might as well have announced it on the PA before the ball was snapped. Foster didn't get many first downs on that play but it wasn't his fault since blind sisters of the poor could have forecasted Kubiak's play call.
And as for Vegas - flew there once in 2008 to hook up with an old friend who was flying in from out of the country. I even forgot it was Election Night and hundreds of union thugs stampeded through the casino chanting "Obama! Obama! Obama!" Didn't matter since I wasn't there to gamble. My lady friend and I holed up in her room until all the commotion died down and got caught up on old acquaintances. Next night, I was flying back to Texas and she back to Japan. Hadn't flown again until last week.
Did a minor amount of gambling at the airport but didn't win once. FWIW, the casinos in Lake Charles were more fun.
Oh, and Duane Brown. If we won't/can't sign him, let's see if we can find someone willing to part with a first or second-day draft pick next spring to trade him to. We don't have to worry about caps now until next spring.
