    its the same "attitude" that gets some girl knocked around in an elevator and then the browns are left holding their dicks because you wanted "attitude". What to know who he is? just another rookie that aint done shit in the league.

    Likely the latter Logic. He's a good player and the best ILB to come out in years but you gotta be cool when playing with the domestic issues guys. Maybe the nurse was screwing with him

    "Do you have any medical issues we should know about?"

    "Stop being so nosey, bitch!"

    after the hundreds of other people examined he was being singled out LOL

    The nurse didn't know she was dealing with the first tough guy to have ever attended an NFL combine.

  • @RobertKlemko: Adding some detail to Reuben Foster incident which led to his dismissal from combine, per source...

    @RobertKlemko: Foster grew impatient with long line for exams... pulled the 'do you know who I am?' card.

    @RobertKlemko: A male hospital employee, unimpressed, told him he would wait like everyone else.

    @RobertKlemko: Foster warned the man that he'd put hands on him, and the employee said, simply, Do it.

    @RobertKlemko: That's when the "face to face, heated exchange" happened, as Schefter reported

  • doesnt really sound so tough to me......actually, the opposite....

    Truly bad ass men dont ask "do you know who I am?"....and act out like that.......the insecure ones do....

    Guarantee his stock is dropping as we speak.....low character AND rotary cuff issues.......

    He might just be there at #12.....then the REAL debate will begin......😉

  • If true, Foster sounds like a fucking imbecile.

  • So Foster is the first tough guy with a mean streak to ever go to the combine or is he the first one dumb enough to get booted from the combine?

    Well only guys with recent injuries get sent to the hospital for medical exams. So that limits your pool quite a bit. Then you limit it to who's gotten dicked around by the staff for this long. I don't know that, neither do you. Then we don't know if he asked nicely first and was responded to rudely by the doctor (sorry I forgot--doctors are NEVER rude). We don't know if the NFL has had this happen before and just decided to ignore it. We don't know anything. For you folks that want to see some self-restraint, he never put hands on this precious medical employee.

    Lastly, I'm not saying he's not an entitled prick. I'm saying he's a football player, so it's not relevant to the position he occupies in my world.

    I'd certainly say he's in a class of his own, at least among this year's participants. Certainly on the field anyway.

    Wanna watch a bunch of nerds, then don't watch football.

    That attitude is the same one that's going to make him refuse to be denied by a 235 lb. RB in the hole. That's gonna make him grab Shon Coleman by the facemask and give him the Gary Burteer-to-Ray in Remember the Titans speech. Same attitude that's gonna make our defense nasty.

    The great thing about football as it relates to a guy that says something like "do you know who I am?" is that you get to find out (and adjust, if you can) the answer for yourself.

    its the same "attitude" that gets some girl knocked around in an elevator and then the browns are left holding their dicks because you wanted "attitude". What to know who he is? just another rookie that aint done shit in the league.

    Likely the latter Logic. He's a good player and the best ILB to come out in years but you gotta be cool when playing with the domestic issues guys.Stupid Decision. Maybe the nurse was screwing with him i dont know.

    So getting rattled by a rude employee is now comparable to beating your wife in an elevator. Got it.

    really it doesn't matter he should have been a professional and failed to do so

  • wow Liufau way slower than i thought he would be

    Really surprising results in the 40

    Mahomes slower than Trubisky

    Watson = Trubisky

    Webb > Kizer


    Trubisky 4.67(u)
    Watson 4.67 (u)
    Webb 4.79 (u)

    Mahomes 4.80 (u)

    Kiser 4.83

    He should definitely be applauded for not attacking a stranger. He should also get a gold star for pissing in the toilet.

    I don't know why the NFL would keep a lid on it if anyone else had acted the same way and needed to be dismissed.

    If the employee was rude, it appears that every other player there must have fully functioning brains and could keep it together long enough for the exam.

  • wow 4.22 is really quick

    Ross has some wheels.

  • A couple thoughts.

    Trubisky is the QB I like. However, #1 overall... I don't know. And because I don't know I'm going to say taking him at #1 is a huge risk. We should probably take another player at #1 and see if Trubisky is there at #12. If he's not, I'm okay with going with Kevin Hogan and Cody Kessler.

    Fournette had an okay combine, I'm upset that he didn't do the bench press and his verticle was a little disappointing but then again I'm not asking him to jump over guys, more so to run through them... and at 4.51-4.52 and 240lbs he's more than capable to do that. He's still on the radar.

    My favorite though thus far is McCafferey. This kid ran the 40 in the 4.4s and didn't drop a pass all day. He had the second highest vertical jump at 37.5. He's a very natural catcher and runs nice routes and has great get off speed. Good hips and foot control, turns on a dime and for a smaller guy he did put up 225 pounds 10 times.

  • John ROSS ran the 40 like a BOSS! Holy moly 4.22~~~!!! Ghost! Sets a New Record

    Here's what that looks like functionally in a game-

    I don't know if it's true but my buddy said Adidas was giving an ISLAND to whoever could break Chris Johnsons record!

    He is a professional .......... football player. They're paid to get rattled.

    I'm just saying in the grand scheme of things nothing really happened. He didn't hit anyone. He got snippy with an employee. Knowing your personality here, I highly doubt you've never done that. Furthermore, again, who cares?

    "Needed to be dismissed" is a description subjective to the standard the NFL sets. You're acting like they get some vision from on high "X Y NEEDS TO BE DISMISSED." "Oh, well hell, I guess we better send him home Mr. Goodell." No, they can decide what's worthy of sending a kid home or not. And in the past, this may not have been. We have no idea.

    A former OL for A&M posted on our messageboard this morning that when he was stuck waiting at the hospital at the combine for 5 hours while other injury-free guys got to go meet with teams, market themselves, and have fun, he was pretty close to strangling a nurse too (note: Foster did not strangle a nurse). And this is a nice kid from the same high school I went to which is extremely wealthy and objectively, very soft. But Foster can't raise his voice a little....

    It is a bit more than getting snippy when you threaten to go hands on with a stranger. I am sure they have had players who have an attitude. I guess the dismissal was related to threatening a male hospital employee. So even with the potential of losing a good chunk of money, dummy chose to threaten someone and get dismissed.

    I don't think this kid will end up being a Brown so this is honestly just debate.

  • we should probably keep the conversation to players ACTUALLY attending the combine.

    I'm looking forward to the passing drills

    Also it really looks like Trubisky's athleticism is really understated
