Sky Diver Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) He was a 3* recruit out of HS. 434 National Rank and 58 WR Rank. Foster was a 5* recruit. 23 National Rank and 2 WR Rank. Foster is more gifted and has higher upside than Phillips. Plus he plays special teams. Foster is bigger and faster too. I don't see Phillips beating Foster out.

Reed 2.0 I was thinking Naaman Roosevelt 2.0. Appears able to separate but not much speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell on speed issue, would love to see him run now that inguinal hernia is behind him. They take a while post surgery to become comfortable with fully extensing core. Basically intestines penetrating a weakeness in abdominal wall. 3 types of abdominal hernias... inquinal (sports) lower abdominal wall, umbilical just like it sounds, and hiatal hernia the stomach penetrating diagraphm... most of us like 80% have very small ones but the bad one cause a lot of reflux and trouble swallowing. If he doesn’t gain speed and can’t play special teams.., agree probably practice squad at best for him. We will see.. So far he looks good.

As Daboll said in a presser, there's many ways to stretch a field. It doesn't have to be vertical/down field passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like KB and I see a lot of potential in our younger guys, but there's something to be said for having someone who the safeties know can be past them in a flash if they cheat up at all. 32 minutes ago, Sky Diver said: He was a 3* recruit out of HS. 434 National Rank and 58 WR Rank.

I don't see Phillips beating Foster out. Not sure how much the recruitment will matter, but i agree- if they're looking purely for a developmental guy, they will likely go with the guy with higher upside. If Phillips wants a spot he has to prove right now that he can have a positive impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s Phillips’ best time? Foster is 6’2” 197? How big is Phillips? Bitter that he chose Alabama over OSU? He turned down Penn State, Florida, Pitt, Michigan and Notre Dame too, so don’t feel bad.

njbuff Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 1 hour ago, CajunBillsBacker said: It’s going to be interesting to see who sticks in the roster. Benjamin and Kerley are locks Zay Jones probably? Dupre maybe? Then there’s a whole bunch of slot receivers. Reilly, Phillips, Foster, McCloud, Proehl, etc. just from reading reports, I can’t see Reilly, Phillips, or Foster getting cut. So that puts our two drafted receivers on the practice squad? How is Kerley a lock? Did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has the bigger heart and who wants it more is what counts. Have to see these guys in games first to see who has a chance to make the roster. Otherwise this is all hearsay. I am not falling into that Da'Rick Rodgers trap any more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you understand the joke... was in relation to your famous thread about the Ivy League of the SEC/Josh Rosen. Not every thread needs to be about Bama in some way, shape or form but you try to integrate it into every discussion. It’s quite fascinating. I truly don’t care about his ACT scores. it was just a joke, no need to be so sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Drafting WRs should be easy then, just look for the next big fast guy like Roy Williams. I was going to make a Matt Millen joke but didn’t realize he was in bad health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's a better receiver he will beat him out. 40 times and HS ranks mean pretty much nothing. I would not be surprised at all, though, if he was PS this year and not on the 53.
