Remember Eric Foster

Foster has made his share of big plays

Following one of the recent organized team activities, Foster stated, “As I evaluate the entire season, me and (Colts Defensive Line) Coach (John) Teerlinck came up with the fact that I’ve got to explode out of my moves.  I was doing a great job beating my guys. It’s just that extra little push.”  It is clear that Foster realizes he has some things to work on and he took it a bit further when he said, “You can’t stay the same.  You have to find something in your game, and it’s always something you can improve on. The hardest thing is to focus in on what exactly it is you need to focus in on.”

Foster showed a lot of energy on the field in 2009, bringing back the “bushwhacker” arms from old-school professional wrestling.  He played with a great deal of intensity, saw the backfield more regularly, displayed the versatility to play inside and outside, and played a key role along the defensive line.  He is entering his third NFL season, his second in defensive coordinator Larry Coyer’s new system, and is determined to improve on a fairly solid body of work as a key backup at defensive tackle and defensive end.
