David Foucault Starting at Left Tackle

[Black]

David Newton:

 

 

 

#Panthers undrafted rookie David Foucault says he is starting at LT for injured Byron Bell against Saints.

 

Should be interesting. 

[Black]

Hoping he does very well, and we never see Bell at left tackle again. 

[LinvilleGorge]

He'll almost certainly be terrible, but Bell is terrible anyway so whatever.

[TrianglePanther]

Anyone who watched him play in the Green Bay game knows how this is going to end.

[Captain Morgan]

how great would it be for him to actually be serviceable?  Not Bell serviceable, 

the kind of serviceable that means at least he's not hurting the team.

God help us

If Foucault just slows his man down, just a little, it will be an upgrade over Bell.

Let the fun begin!

Hope he does well but I doubt it

That's exactly what I said. Please, please, please let Foucalt play good. There is absolutely no way Foucalt can play any worse than Bell. Hell, all he has to do is fall in front of defenders and he is automatically better than his sorry ass.

People remember the dozen or so times Bell has screwed up but he's started every game this season and played almost every snap.  He held up very well for 90% of those plays.  He doesn't get beat every time he lines up.  He's not nearly as bad as people think.  He's played well enough for us to win some games.

 

I'm not saying he's a great LT but he's no where near as bad as everyone makes him out to be.

 

I really hope Faucault excels and does a great job but an undrafted rookie who was playing in Canada last year does not feel me with great joy. 

 

I'm much rather have Bell starting.

All we need him to be is better than horriBell

Nice post, Byron Bell.

I know everyone hates Bell.  Me too. He sucks.  But Foucault is worse  (at least for now).  This is going to be painful.  The Saints have two very strong pass rushers (jordan and gallette) and DT (bunkley and hicks) and our left side is two ROOKIE UDFA.
