eball Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 ...Austin Proehl. I really thought that his skill set combined with an NFL pedigree would give him a real shot to make this roster. He has not impressed. Maybe it's just a matter of acclimating himself to the speed of the NFL and a year on the PS will help. Anyway, that's a disappointment and I was way off. 1
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 He was a 7th rd draft pick for a reason. Sometimes they pan out but most of the time, not so much....
McBean Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 He’s awful. Him and Foster are competing for LVP.
The Process Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 Foster usually had a step or two on dbs when at Alabama. Same in the preseason game. He needs to learn to adjust to the throw a little better. If nothing else use him to drag the safety over when his speed makes him wide open.
Chandler#81 Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 I was hopeful for the same reasons, E. But he hasn’t shown anywhere near enough to date for even PS consideration.

machine gun kelly Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 I don’t see either one making the team, maybe the Practice Squad. Eball, you’re a good dude and if everyone who was wrong admitted it, that would fill up this whole board. Enjoy you’re weekend. 3

Foster is not ready to contribute to an NFL team and neither is Proehl. Next! 2

Obviously Dabol knows what the potential is or isn't. My opinion is obviously biased.....Roll Tide Roll! Before Foster gets released and sent to the Pats where he lights it up, it would be fun to see Mccarron to Foster just once for an Alabama bomb! 1

Expand but he drops the ball...they're not going to move a safety to cover a WR that can't catch...they'll double Benjamin
Sanners Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 Foster and Proehl are long shots for a meaningful NFL career. McCloud on the other hand is looking solid. 1

Expand Fine. I’ll talk to Coach and have McCarron toss a deep one to Foster on the 1st play vs Cleveland. Then he’s cut on the spot and selling popcorn by halftime.

But simply being a ‘Bama fan isn’t enough to warrant continued investment in a poor playing, undrafted WR from a run oriented program. I suspect Daboll was asked if he knew anyone who had speed that may be flying under the radar. Simply quitting on a particular route because the QB is forced to scramble means he has little to no clue how to really play the position. ‘You can’t teach speed’ doesn’t mean you take years to teach a prospect how to play his position. I may be wrong. He may make PS. But I doubt it. 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 People have been raving about Foster and Wallace all off season. I was kind of looking forward to seeing them for myself.... They might have been the two worst players on the field Thursday.

Expand I had similar hopes that maybe he'd become our Edelman. I do think it's a bit premature to write him off just yet. He really didn't have a senior season, and it will certainly take some time adjusting to the nfl speed. I'd wait for that last preseason game before writing his nfl obituary...
