The int thing you could argue means something, but it doesn't really reflect his coverage skills more so his catching skills as he dropped 2 ints in the national title game.
Foster is the better player than Vigil and the tape shows it. What I would say is the year in the system does help, but the skills of Foster would catch him up quickly. I do think though for a SAM Vigil would be above average athletic wise and a really solid player there. There in lies the rub as Vigil will be playing SAM and Foster is a MIKE from day 1 and MIKES play in nickle packages because they wear the green dot (except Rey who was so horrible they couldn't).
I was responding to the comment of getting after the qb. As for foster, one could easily argue he benifited greatly from the dline of bama. I peraonally would take mcmillan ad reddick at the minumum before foster. Dont see what the big deal with him is. His coverage skills were average at best.
