A conversation with DeShaun Foster.

A lot of fun memories here, and some pretty damn good analysis on all that’s going on now.

Thought some of the OG’s would enjoy this, in particular. Hope y’all enjoy it!

That playoff run against the eagles is my all-time favorite play. 

Last I heard about Foster is he was selling diamonds in the queen. 

That must be somebody else, because Deshaun Foster is the RB coach at UCLA. He’ll probably be a head coach at some point.

Deshaun Foster was my favorite player in the Fox era. I feel like we never truly got to see him in his prime except for the 03 run and a little bit 05. He had a really interesting blend of power, speed and ability to break tackles that you don’t see in a lot of players. 
 

Injuries killed his career but talent wise he could’ve been a great RB.

O my foster wasnt the type to run you over. That game was a old school struggle-fest brawl!! I didnt think we could score that TD. When foster broke tackles, then planet his foot, and stuck his body into the chest of 54..... Thats a god dam Playoff run! After he shed the three tacklers, that reach at the end was perfect ending too.

I still think if Foster doesn’t break his ankle against Chicago in the divisional round, we go into Seattle and win the NFCCG. We would be 0-3 in Super Bowls though because the league was getting the Steelers that championship in Detroit come hell or high water.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
