Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris did not want to put too much pressure on Mason Foster in the beginning of his career, but Morris quickly found out that Foster was able to endure it. “In the beginning, I was trying to take stuff off his plate to ease it for him; to slow it down for him. And he's embracing a bigger role than I even anticipated, and it's been beautiful,” said Morris to Tampabay.com.
In the third game of the Buccaneers season Foster had to be the defensive play caller instead of Quincy Black, who was out of the game because of injury. “This is a kid who’s been put in a man’s role and he’s done an exceptional job. He’s in there every week now calling the defenses and changing defenses and he’s really become the quarterback there,” Morris said to aol.sportingnews.com.
Then in the last game the Buccaneers won this season, Foster injured his ankle, which made him have trouble playing as well as he had done earlier. “He hit a little bit of a rookie wall. Got a little tired there. Got a little fatigued. You know, everything started to ache. Everything started to battle,” said Morris to joebucsfan.com.
After Foster overcame his ankle injury, he picked up his excellent play, ending the season with 84 tackles, two sacks, and one forced fumble. “Now he’s starting to come back around, starting to play fast, starting to play physical. He’s done this all year, so he’s one of those guys that’s going to grow into his body and become that natural mike [linebacker],” Morris said.
