BJ Finney and LT Walton.


What. The. Fuck.

Foster has been damn solid, but not spectacular on our O-line for a long time. This season he's had an old age renaissance and hes become really fucking good. Yet somehow here we have yet another UDFA in Finney who came right in and wheeled out the heaviest rushing output in franchise history. I mean we all know how well he did in his first start against the Chiefs, but wow am i encouraged that we have a backup interior OL thats arguably an upgrade. Remember back when an injury to the interior OL meant Cody Wallace getting 50 holding penalties and anal punching people in the pile? Remember when guys like Darnell Stapleton had to start superbowls because we had OG's getting hurt? MUCH BETTER. And hes young too (25). We have foster for at least 2 more years after 2016 but boy do we have an awesome replacement when hes done. Front office, dont you dare let this man slip away.


LT Walton, well to be honest i have less to say, but he was really good in gap assignment and was a hugely underrated part of us stopping the #1 rushing attack in the league. I hope Mathews and Walton can keep it up so that we can give Tuitt a breather here and there. Walton actually started over Mathews by the way guys, i bet that surprised everybody. We could end up really deep at DL next season


thoughts? i know its hard to get excited about these guys in comparison to all that has transpired but these people NEED to be talked about

Bill Parcells once claimed that the difference between a "playoff team" and a "championship team" depends on numbers 23-53 on your roster.

Personally I'd like to see Finney starting next season. He's much more athletic than Foster and really gets out fast on pulls. For someone who hasn't played much in the NFL, he's done a damn good job. I've really been impressed with him.

I wouldn't object to that at all.

Finney and Hubbard were question marks coming in.

Now? Bye bye Goose Wallace.

OL and DL are talented with the starting units and deep as well.

I think both units have some guys on the PS that the team was pretty pumped to get in the system. Plus Hawkins on the OL.

It's like the lightbulb finally went off and this team prioritized building from the trenches out for modern football. Basically getting big guys that can move for both sides of the ball.

SOOOOOO glad that has finally happened!

I have seen this video before. It's absolutely awesome!

In an NFL where so many uber-talented players don't honor their gift, it's the kind of moment we don't see enough of.

How can you not root for that guy????
