RB Donte Foreman Texas

[StylisticS]

He is always around the football. He makes lots of plays. He gets treated by Texas fans the way we Cowboys fans treat Heath.

Is he a stud, no. But, he would be great depth for our secondary and special teams

When it comes to depth, I caution the usage of the word great when it comes to Haines. He's around the football true but that's about it. He's a terrible tackler and has very little technique and skills. How many players have highlights running over him now? I don't even think he has a draft profile. He is maybe an UDFA at best.

Foreman could very well be the best RB in the draft. I watched his entire career at Texas and after Earl Campbell,Ricky Williams and Cedric Benson this guy was dang near as good.

Yeah, I don't understand how someone put up 2k and have no vision (as some here have said)

I was one who said he doesn’t have good vision or instincts. From what I’ve watched of him, he doesn’t appear to.

However, to be fair, I didn’t follow his career like you or Biggems probably did, so you know more about him than I do.

I watched a few games (and highlights of games) of Foreman’s back-to-back with Perine and, to be honest, Perine looked to be the far superior back with far superior vision and instincts (that is a guy that I really, really like BTW).

IMO, Foreman got what was there and then his massive size got him a little more… but my honest opinion is that he is lacking vison and pure run skills.

Like I said though… I could be wrong.

He's got break away speed and no one's going to bring him down in the open field.

Which is funny, cause my gums are small actually.

I'll be honest, I haven't watched him at all. I've just seen his stats and can't figure how someone could have no vision and be so productive. I'll have to take a look

4.45 forty for a man his size is unreal. He had some fumbling issues this past season, but I mostly blame the hand injury he had. He also tended to fumble when fighting for extra yardage against a pile of opponents.

He is a stud of a running back. I hope no one in our division drafts him.

If he has chronic fumbling problems, I hope they do.

As an aside, he seems to have dropped off the radar. Before the Combine, he was being touted as a possible first round draft pick. Did he really bomb during the Combine?

 

[tyke1doe]

His run instincts and vision are sub par

So he's a bigger Trent Richardson?

What about Perine? (Sp?)

If Perine can stay healthy he's gonna be a stud IMO.
