Big, fast, smart, relentless, dependable.<br \/>\nBut these days, when people say Reuben Foster could be the next Rolando McClain, they don\u2019t mean any of those positive things.<\/p>\n<p>They mean that Foster might be about to follow in the footsteps of another Alabama great linebacker who couldn\u2019t excel on the field because he couldn\u2019t control himself off it.<br \/>\nFoster was arrested last month in Tuscaloosa and charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana. If he had been doing the same thing back at his new home with the San Francisco 49ers, that wouldn\u2019t even have been a crime. Still, you have to know the laws where you are and obey them.<\/p>\n<p>But then came news over the weekend that Foster had been arrested and charged with domestic violence after an altercation with his longtime girlfriend. After searching the home, police also charged Foster with possession of an assault rifle.<br \/>\nI don\u2019t know all the detail of any of these charges and Foster deserves his day in court. But there is a pattern forming for Foster that, if it doesn\u2019t change, is going to make Foster a cautionary tale like McClain.<\/p>\n<p>Before it\u2019s too late, Reuben Foster needs to Tighten Up.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think needs to Tighten Up?
