The fumble resulting from the lack of training camp and preseason contact is spot on. I didn't have concerns about Foster being effective from the lack of August work, though the fumbling was sure to be a concern.
The offensive gameplan did Foster no favors, either. Without a downfield passing attack (or rather, even a downfield passing effort at all), Foster had to run into a defense knowing it was going to run, and seemed to have a pretty good idea of where he would be headed too (not many counters?).
All in all, a nice effort from Foster, one better than his stats would show. Seemed to me the Redskins players appreciated what the Texans were putting him though too... lotta respect out there for him from his peers.
