Kmart128 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I'm guessing he is just holding a roster spot until we sign someone who was released. Maybe Bryant, Miller or Perriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheektowaga Chad Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Any chance he is on the roster then once practice squads are filled up by other teams he is cut and place on our practice squad easier? Seems odd he made the team to me. Although coaches raved about his separation and speed. Tre white even singled him out as one of the better wr's he had been competeing against. So maybe I shouldn't be surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) I can now confirm what many of you have probably guessed by now that, yet again, I did not make Buffalo's 53 man roster. At his point in my career, at age 57, I may have to face up to the fact that maybe this just isn't going to work out for me. I have to believe that my failure to attend a single meeting, practice or workout may have been a factor in my failure to make the team. Not being under contract, "officially", definitely had its drawbacks such as frequently being detained by security whenever I tried to get anywhere near the practice field. Still, I want to thank the Pegulas and the entire Buffalo Bills organization for the opportunity they gave me. And for dropping all charges. I have already bought season tickets for this year and I am assured that my seats are at least 200 feet away from all members of the organization as is required by the "restraining order" still in effect.

Yeah, I've settled on the fact that this is the reason. They must think he's coachable and can correct his route running. Coleman got his money and checked out. He probably didn't study the playbook and thought he'd get by on speed. Foster has a relationship and trust with the OC. That was probably the difference. I fully expect that 6th spot is a bubble spot and the Bills will keep looking for WR's, OL, LB, DE and possibly 3rd QB for PS. The next few days should be interesting.

Probably for trading up for Zay Jones. Whaley and crew did the scouting reports etc. The actual draft had a noticeably different “ feel” to it than previous Whaley drafts , however. It was widely speculated during the draft that McDermott was calling the shots and making the picks. It’s likely that T Pegs already decided Whaley was being let go and gave McD full reign over the draft process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS signings have to be placed on the active roster and can't be moved to their own PS. Would some desperate team sign Foster to their active roster later in the season? Maybe. But he'd be likely to stay on the Bills PS for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I did say Coleman wasn't going anywhere. Foolishly, I imagined burning a pick and millions in dead money would keep him around. But I forgot our love of dead money this year. That said, good riddance. The FO took a shot at position of need and missed. At least we didn't prolong the error. However, I'm not sure Foster will be around that long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I got, is that maybe Coleman wrote his way out out of town with behavior in meetings/practice/towards getting in the playbook. It would have to be pretty "out there" and the coaches persuaded he was not going to accept coaching to bounce him so quickly, but maybe it was. Foster has something we need and that can't be coached - speed. The coaches must feel he is more receptive to coaching and is trying to become a better WR. It wouldn't surprise me if he wound up on the practice squad if we're able to sign a player at a position of need, but not until other teams have made up their practice squads to minimize the chances of a waiver claim.

Oh is that all? Add to the above he has been seen to quit on routes, where if he didn't he might not have to lay out .... he looks back for the ball instead of running the route full out, which again slows him up and requires him to fight/layout. He has poor footwork and runs sloppy routes. But other than that..... Just now, John from Riverside said: but...its early...he is young....its a process Indeed. It all depends upon how much he wants it, how hard he's willing to work, and how coachable he is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
