Anyone who said, "he caught that ball", clearly misses even the not so dine points of the position. Seems to have little to no awareness. ...so in your assessment, is that fixable?......probably didn't have much of an opportunity to sync his speed with 'Bama passing game.......assume awareness means hand/eye coordination for starters....

MrEpsYtown Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 This is clearly a situation where they really like this guy and his upside and they must know that either someone will claim or that they won't be able to get him on the practice squad. Keeping him on the roster must have been their only avenue to keep him. He was a very high priority UDFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite Poster Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 4 hours ago, Kelly the Dog said: He's a number one WR in the league. Not elite. But a genuine #1. There were 50 NFL players that had more receiving yards than him last year. If he can crack 32 I'll be impressed. To me, he's a good #2 receiver but he in no way, shape, or form is a #1 WR. His numbers, durability, measurables, etc do not stack against the rest of the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. I soured on Dareus very early in his career. Rear view mirror, doesn’t it seem obvious about keeping Foster? He could be displaced, but it doesn’t seem likely at this point.

A guy so bad in game 1 that he hardly got on the field in games 2 and 3. He and Conor McDermott remain the two mysteries to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foster demonstrated his potential in the first preseason game by getting behind the defense and getting good separation. There was 13 WRs on the roster so it’s no surprise he didn’t see much time in games 2 and 3. In game 4 he outraced a DB and caught a TD. He’s a playmaker and a game changer. It’s no mystery that the Bills need a WR who can stretch the field. Edited September 3, 2018 by Sky Diver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 3 – Rookie WR Robert Foster still working to improve As an undrafted free agent in the NFL, nothing comes easily. You won’t be afforded extra opportunities or handed extra reps on the practice; you must earn everything that is given to you. That is precisely what Bills wide receiver Robert Foster has done in his limited time with the Bills. Foster signed with the team after not being drafted this year, even after playing for one of the nation’s best college programs at Alabama. Although he has a level of familiarity with former Alabama and now Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, Foster says that he doesn’t believe that impacted the team’s final decision. “I think that the team and the coaching staff believe that I worked hard for this opportunity,” Foster said. “At the end of the day, I knew that I was going to have to come in here and put in work to get better.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Popinski Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Really shows you how little the preseason games have to do with final cuts. He did what he needed to in practice and earned a roster spot in the staff's mind. Good for him I hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I assume that he's active because Ray Ray isn't. But that said, if he wasn't going to play they would have made Lee active for a few short yardage blocking type plays. I also heard but never saw that Foster is pretty good on (non-returning) ST. That would make him more valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
