The Facts: Foster, still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon and still looking for a new job after being cut by the Texans, believes he's getting closer to a return to full strength. "I probably need another month to get where I am, the person everyone is use to seeing," Foster said. "I can definitely play, but I need another month to be where I want to be and be at that Pro Bowl level I can be at."
Diehards Line:
Two years ago, Foster was pretty good, with 1,246 yards rushing and an average of 4.8 yards per carry. From 2011 through 2013, Foster had three straight 1,000-yard seasons, with a total of 4,264 rushing yards. In fact, Foster is quite confident he can make a similar contribution on the field -- for team's that can deal with him off it. “I am not one of those Captain America, ‘Yes sir, no sir,’ kind of cats, and a lot of that comes across as arrogance. But if anyone has spent any real time with me, they’ll say I’m not arrogant,” Foster said. ... As PFT suggests, someone will give Foster a chance, and there’s a decent chance he’ll still be pretty good, if not better.
