"I want my place on this team"


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

So says David Foucault in this piece from Bryan Strickland (link)

 

Excerpts:

 

So far, David Foucault has passed every test.

But the Canadian offensive tackle understands that at every stage, the difficulty of the tests will only multiply.

Foucault has ascended from tryout player to member of the Panthers' 90-man roster. His next challenge – the greatest and most important to date – is to secure a roster spot for the regular season.

"I need to be ready for camp," Foucault said. "I want my place on this team."

 

"I am very young at this position. I just have three years of experience, but Coach (John) Matsko and Coach (Ray) Brown put a lot of time in to get me better," Foucault said. "Matsko is the best coach I've had in my life.

"I have heard our defense is one of the best in the league. We have good defensive linemen, and our defensive ends are so fast. I've learned so much (playing against) them."

 

 

After the camp, he was one of two tryout players - along with linebacker Billy Boyko - signed to the 90-man roster.

The news left his family, which has recently dealt with its share of trials, overjoyed.

"They cried. I cried," Foucault said. "We had a lot of bad things this year, I think it was very good news to send back to my parents about what I did.

"A lot happened, a lot of stuff. My dad had prostate cancer this year. It was very tough, but now he is fine. It was good news to give them."

Foucault can only imagine the reaction if he makes the final roster spot entering the regular season.

 


"I'm pushing myself harder to make my parents proud of me," he said. "My first week was very tough, but right now I know the plays and I just need to focus on the small details to get even better. I need to get my weight up a little bit – maybe 10 or 15 pounds on my body - and I need to focus on my feet and the playbook. I need to get better and be focused because the tempo is very hard and fast.

"In Canada, it's all about hockey. I think in years the players in Canada will get better and better. But I am very proud to be here on this field because not a lot of Canadians play in the NFL."

Most guys say "I want my money" ..... This guy just want to be on the TEAM, good for him.

 

Who are these rookies that say they want their money? I think most guys that go undrafted just want to make the team and belong. Money will come after if they continue to develop and play well. And most rookies that were drafted just want to do well, the money will come after too.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
