GG Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 In reality, Foster making the team is a bigger knock on how bad Coleman must have been than how Foster won the job. If the coaching staff had higher confidence in Foster, the Coleman trade never happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 On 8/31/2018 at 11:04 AM, 26CornerBlitz said: Bills Today: GM Brandon Beane on establishing the final 53-man roster 1 – GM Brandon Beane discusses the Bills’ process to get to 53 players by Saturday's deadline Saturday marks the deadline to finalize each team’s 53-man roster for the regular season and Bills general manager Brandon Beane is working to find the right combination for the season opener in Baltimore. Beane talked yesterday about how tough the cut-down process will be, and what the process is like. “We will meet with these guys Saturday morning, but we will cut it [the roster] down Friday,” said Beane during Thursday’s Bills-Bears broadcast. “We will know what the roster will be, and Sean [McDermott] and I will meet with each and every one of them.” Beane stressed that it is important to be honest throughout the process, as each player has performed to the best of their ability throughout the whole offseason and training camp schedule. “We think it is important for them to hear from us,” Beane said. “We want to answer any questions they have and try to shoot them straight. I feel the best thing to do is to be as honest as you can be.” Although the cut-down is a tough time for everyone involved, the Bills will also be focused on players who may or may not be let go from other teams. Beane noted that the Bills were active at the end of last year’s preseason, and that things could be similar in 2018. “We put in for four claims last year and got three of those guys,” he said. “Once we get our group down to 53, it doesn’t mean that we are done. We have looked at where guys are getting reps around the league over the last couple of weeks.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderGun Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Foster over Coleman is a pretty big shock for the simple fact that Coleman was the first WR off the board in 2016, while 32 teams passed on Foster 250+ times. But when you consider the following, it’s definitely nothing earth shattering- Both offer the ability to stretch the field, but Foster has at least gotten open to draw targets. He knows the playbook, obviously has favor/familiarity with Daboll and his system. Plus I’d be willing to bet Foster was out there with 110% effort being a UDFA with zero guaranteed money, while we all know Coleman lacks the heart to be a difference maker in this league. Now the Bills get to contribute $3 million to his shoe collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Quint Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Good job Skydiver. You took a ton of crap, but you were right. Doesn't make you any less of a homer, but still, well played! I love an underdog, so if Foster can figure it out he could be dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderGun Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 He could also still end up being cut sometime in the next 24-48 hours... that could definitely still happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Diver Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Foster has a great attitude. He earned his degree and is grateful for his time at Alabama even though his career there didn’t work as he had hoped because of injuries and being overshadowed by Calvin Ridley and other great WRs. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.seccountry.com/alabama/former-alabama-wr-robert-foster-talks-disappointing-collegiate-career-combine-invite/amp Just now, ThunderGun said: He could also still end up being cut sometime in the next 24-48 hours... that could definitely still happen.

Maybe for a PS spot he was just passed over 220+ plus times-by every team. Nobody would be jumping to grab him we needed speed, he knows the playbook, So he is still here he wouldn’t have been a huge priority because most teams have decent speed at WR already, hence UDFA I thought he needed a year on PS to get bigger and stronger but we need speed Edited September 1, 2018 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDogg20 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I assume he’ll be released when we bring in other players who have been cut but the familiarity with Daboll and the fact he’s got serious speed helped him. He’s always open, just can’t catch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
