Tuesday on "The Fan Morning Show," Steelers offensive lineman Ramon Foster said, "Everybody that I've talked to that's played against [Burfict] doesn't believe he's good for the game. You look at the stuff he's done, I mean, it's not just our quarterback. Heck, he's done it to Cam [Newton], he's done it to other players, he's done it to tight ends – the ankle twisting, the aiming at the ankles to, like, dive at guys. I saw him a few times on film just straight up dive in and, like, try to get at a guy's knees."
