Fokou Plays Game With The Right Attitude

 Moise Fokou is intent on making this football team and he made an impression from early in the OTA’s right on through this past Thursday’s game against the Jaguars.

Fokou plays with a mean streak and that’s the way you’re supposed to play the linebacker position.  Making friends is not supposed to be done on the football field against the guys you’re playing against.

Unfortunately during training camp that means roughing up your own teammates.

He expects to go back to playing the outside linebacker spot after getting chance to work at the middle linebacker spot when veteran Omar Gaither was banged up.  Gaither’s back today so the rookie will be back at the outside backer spots.

He didn’t do a bad job on Thursday night but he did have a costly illegal contact penalty, which gave Jacksonville a first down after they were in a third and 13 situation.

He seems to be a smart football player who has shown the ability to grasp this defense very quickly.

I think he has a bright future for the Birds because he plays this game with right attitude which is “take no prisoners”.
