Ramon Foster Signs His Tender

[phillyesq]

Per multiple reports on twitter.

Apparently, he found no takers in RFA.

Not me ... I like Legursky much more than Foster. Legursky I think is going to be a pretty good left guard for us. Not great but pretty good if he ever gets a chance to play more than 2 or 3 games in a row at that position.

If Lekursky is going to play I would rather he play center, where he can call blocking assignments, and have Pouncey and his quick feet at guard.

legursky stinks.

I don't get the manlove around here for him.

I agree, but I don't want to be so harsh on the guy. He's a total overachiever, and I think that's why people overrate him here so much. I do believe you want guys like that on your team... as backups. He is not even a "good" starter, and I personally doubt he can ever be. He is "serviceable" for stretches at a time, especially in our scheme.

As Foster goes, one could argue that he is the most consistent lineman we have. THE most consistent. That being said, he'll probably always be one of those guys who you are looking to replace.

That's a great idea, never thought of that. Supposedly the draft has alot of talent at guard this year. How about moving up in second to take [URL="http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=5531484&yr=2012"]Kevin Zeitler[/URL] put him at RG Legursky at center and Pouncey at LG pulling... oh baby!!!

I'm all for this and have been wishing we'd go this way. I think we'd be solid with the 5 guys we've got if we put Bronko @ C. But no one seems to want to move Pouncey over to G for some reason.

I think we'd be solid with Gilbert, Pouncey, Legs, Foster, and Colon. And the first lineman I'd draft would be someone who could play RT or LT.

Ditto, however neither one should be an NFL starter.

I like Ramon. He always does that little extra to keep plays alive and help his OLs and his QB.

Watch him on Ben's scramble against the Bills in 2010 and Cotchery's TD in Denver this season. Always goes all out and plays whistle to whistle.
