    So far, I haven't heard much of Ramon Foster's name. I've been hearing lots of Willie Colon for holding, false starts too many times. Foster has been a huge contributor and not making mistakes like Colon. When DeCastro comes back do we place DeCastro in Colon position? I would hate to remove Foster with the way he's been playing.

    Agreed. The best offensive lineman are the most anonymous and Foster has been incognito all year.

    Willie Colon is just a more talented version of Kemoeatu.

    I think the reason you don't hear it much is because he hasn't done much; positive or negative. The only reason I say negative is of what will colon brings

    The nasty, angry, dirty, way the o line is played is being set by him.
    Whether it is a funny, physically, or half way comical sexual exploit with him on the field , you must love the tenacity.
    Ramon foster will be replaced but next year. Played well enough to not rush decastro back, which is what we would do if Adams wasn't up to par, that he is solid til the rest of the year.

    While we're on the subject of the OL, is it just a coincidence that there have been zero OL injuries since Gilbert has been out of the lineup?:shrug:

    i think Foster is a free agent and will get offers from other teams to start. He's been very reliable over the past couple of years and after this season I don't think he will want to sit the bench behind a rookie. But we'll have to see how DeCastro is with his recovery.

    He's been doing a good job but I definitely want to see DeCastro when he's 100% healthy.

    i'd dump colon in a minute as a starter. his best move is the bear hug takedown. he holds constantly. yes a slightly better kemoeatu. max is subpar too. DD to the leftside is fine with me. i still want a stud LT soon. it will amaze people how well the offense will operate with a better o-line.:cool:
