I literally made it a point to mention / state how important it was to consider context (and a ridiculously small sample size) before making claims. That's been the specific complaint I have had all along; people jumping to conclusions about the defense when the prior mentioned aspects were ignored or considered irrelevant.
And I will grant you Reid and Tartt. But Foster? In terms of plays made, he has not made "more plays than anybody on the defense." What did he play, a total of 11 snaps week one (three combined tackles and one pass defended)? He has game changing potential, but let's see him get 75-100 snaps under his belt this season before crowning him.
