Punching Bag Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 If he does not make roster/PS I'd like OC to give him assistant job for a year. He can then use workout room, listen to coaches, get nutrition started, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Based on last week's performance, Foster sort of scares me in the way McKelvin scared me, i.e. "where's the ball?" Plus, Foster has the "lazy" rep to live down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 4 hours ago, Sky Diver said: Interesting that he can have all those supposed issues and still out race a CB with 4.39 speed. If you have ever played WR you would know that tracking the deep ball is probably the single most difficult thing to do (at least for me it was). Doing it on the sideline is much easier than in the open field because you have a boundary to work with. I think Allen threw the first one just out of bounds and there wasn't much Foster could do on that one. But the 2nd one he clearly had issues tracking the ball and that one is all on him. He should have caught that one. He wouldn't have needed to lay out even if he tracked it better. The third one he gave up on his route and almost stopped running before he noticed the ball in the air coming to him. That's all on him as well. So he needs to play better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 As an UDFA you have to lay it all on the line to even be considered for making the final 53. And Foster not laying it out on that Allen deep ball (the one in bounds, LOL) is a severe black eye on him to the coaching staff. He had better go thru a brick wall the next two games for McDermott to think about keeping him as the number 6 WR. To say he is on very thin ice is big understatement. Unless something changes drastically, Foster will be one of the very first cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever player on the Bills needs to get better. He’s a freakish athlete who had the third fastest 40 time among WR’s. Not a lot of players would have been in a position to catch either ball.

That's why he was an undrafted rookie, and I disagree with you. Plenty of players could have caught those balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snamsnoops Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 1 hour ago, Sky Diver said: Where did my post say anything about Alabama? Do you suggest I change my avitar? He had great separation on Thursday and just missed on two huge plays, scorching veteran CBs. He caught one, but the ball drifted out of bounds and the other was just outside of his reach. He lit it up in practice on Monday. "On Monday, he pushed that aside to have his best day of training camp by a substantial margin. Foster was all over the place, making catch after catch during team drills..." https://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/joe-b-7-observations-from-2018-buffalo-bills-training-camp-day-14 He has blazing speed and he knows how to get open. It's pre season easy boy. KS may have been in the league a few years, but he is far from good. SO i don't know why u keep referring to him as a veteran CB. You should just say some schmuck that wasn't even good enough to stick on Buffalo's roster. It's not like he would be starting in this league if not for injury to the panthers CB's. Good thing he has 4.39 speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cudi Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Just scrolled through this whole thread and here's what I got out of this. Robert Foster: 4.41 speed officially but plays faster in pads. Beats a CB that runs 4.39. Leaves him in the dust. Former 5 star HS Recruit. Translates well to the NFL. Scorches CB that runs 4.39 Tracking doesn't seem to matter if you're fast. Runs past CB that runs 4.39 Catching doesn't seem to matter if you're fast. Dominates CB that runs 4.39 Alabama possible Space elites? Can they run 4.39? All players from Alabama seem to be gold mines teams are sitting on. Probably can all run 4.39. Alabama wins engineering competitions within small populations. (Not sure how this football) Can create machines that run 4.39 Watch games on your own and don't have talking heads explain anything to you, just form your own opinions. (independent thinking) Def can run 4.39. 2 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 What’s Foster’s 40 time? He looked fast out there. He was a 5 star recruit who did nothing while being coached by the best CFB has to offer. I’m not sure why anyone expects this kid to suddenly get it. All the things we saw the other night are right in his scouting report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 6 hours ago, Cripple Creek said: The tracking problem was him running with his head looking back at the ball leaving him a tad short. (Important distinction, the pass wasn’t too long) if you don’t believe me do the following: go outside face one direction look in the opposite direction run report back I’d suggest a nice, wide open field. Do NOT try this in a wooded area or a parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is big, strong, and shifty enough to get off the line. He has to be accounted for at all times. I’d like to see him get some sideline screen passes if CBs are playing off him.
