Opinion Isaiah Foskey will breakout in 2025 (31 Viewers)

[TrillSaints]

IMO I think he will have a break out season this year. He has the potential to be elite. I think he wasn't coached up correctly these past 2 seasons. According to Cam Jordan , Todd Grantham the DL coach wasn't teaching players technique in a interview he had. (Can't remember with who)That's vital to young players. We may already have one of our position of needs on the roster. As long as we get the right DC and DL coach. A player picked 40th is basically a 1st round talent. Just my opinion.

Barely saw the field but he's going to be a breakout performer?

He hasn't shown any improvement from year one to two

That's why I said if we get the right DC and DL coach. The talent is there. 11 sacks the last 2 seasons of his college career. Ran a 4.58 in the 40. I'm not saying it will happen but I can see it happening with the right coaching.

 

[St. Widge]

I think the one hope for Foskey is that if we hire Staley and start using the Fangio scheme, Foskey might be better as an OLB in a 3-4 or as a standup edge rusher in a hybrid 3-4. He was a stand up rusher at ND and that might help him at least get some production.

He was a stiff pass rusher who got most of his sacks in college from good coverage. Didn’t do much his rookie season including seeing the field. If we do go to a 3-4, maybe he can be a 3 tech or OLB but I wouldn’t bet money on him being more than a backup/special teams guy.

And who was the DL coach the past 2 years? The guy that basically Rissi fired after he became the HC.

It's probably more likely he gets released before the season starts than it is he has a breakout season.

Zack Baun is on line 2




I don't trust the prior regime at all in coaching our young guys up. They all should have a clean slate now.

Let's not make the same mistakes we made with Buan. he was a backup/special teams guy.

Look at Baun

 

[NatureBoy]

I think there is a better chance that Blake Grupe graduates from shopping in the little boys department.

 

[RaisingTheBar]

If only we moved on from DA a year earlier, Baun might still be on the roster.

 

[syracuse saint]

I will bet a large sum of money that Foskey will not have any success in the NFL.

Comparing him to Baun is not a good comparison. Baun was a very talented football player that I couldn't figure out how he was not an NFL star. Foskey is an untalented and uninspiring football player that I can't figure out how he is on an NFL team. Foskey wasn't good when he was good. He had one defensive move in college. A speed edge rush. He got all his sacks against inferior teams in large chunks. Whoever decided that he was our guy in the 2nd round should be in jail.

The former coach is on the record saying they saw Baun as more of a special teams player than off the ball LBer. He also thought Onyemata was underperforming. And that Hendrickson was a one hit wonder. He thought the team was better off without Chauncey Garderner Johnson. So yeah, who know. The kid might be a probowler.
