You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry…
DeShaun Foster runs well when he’s angry and he was angry Sunday. So were his Carolina Panthers teammates. On Monday night, the Panthers admit they stunk it up in a 24-14 home loss to the Packers. Jake Delhomme called the performance “pitiful.”Amid a sea of red-clad Kansas City Chiefs fans, Foster wanted to silence critics who say he’s a fumbler. Sure, he fumbled at UCLA. And during the preseason, he fumbled twice against the Patriots and Panthers coaches began to look at him with a skeptical eye.
Everything changed on Thursday night. Stephen Davis grew tired of a knee that was swelling and had surgery to fix it. With Davis expected to be out 2-5 weeks, Foster finally had the responsibility of being the team’s workhorse back. He wrapped his arms around the football as if he were a fireman carrying a baby to safety. Pity any Chief in his way or any defender trying to strip the ball.
