Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I honestly think we have number 3 WR talent on this roster, none of our WR's are even better than R. Cobb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 If he can put on about 12 pounds and retain his speed, kid could be legit. I don't know what was up with him the beginning of the year and why he was so awful, but the 180 he's pulled makes me think if he keeps working he could be the guy.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 A few weeks ago, Robert Foster said he needed to be cut. The undrafted rookie receiver felt being released by the Bills only made him more focused on becoming a successful NFL wideout. After a few weeks on the Buffalo practice squad, Foster got a second chance and he’s quite literally run with it. In the Bills last four games, Foster has provided eight of the team’s 16 pass plays of 20 yards or more. On Sunday, Buffalo’s deep threat had three, though two were aided by Jets penalties. Foster finished the game with 104 yards on seven catches, his second 100-yard receiving day of the season. "For an undrafted free agent I think he's done a nice job," said McDermott. "It's a credit to him the way he's developed. He's developed a nice rapport with Josh (Allen). He's started to round out his approach to the game with his preparation and the detail on his routes. And that will only continue to develop." Since Week 10, when he was promoted back to the active roster, Foster ranks second in the league among rookie receivers with 330 yards. Only Carolina’s D.J. Moore has more (379). The Alabama product also leads the league in yards per game for NFL rookies since week 10 at 82.5. Foster’s pair of 100-yard receiving games leaves him trailing only Sammy Watkins (4), Glenn Bass (3) and Elbert Dubenion (3) in team history for most 100-yard receiving games by a rookie. And Foster is the only undrafted wideout to produce two 100-yard days in his rookie season. “I’m proud of him,” said offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. “It hasn’t been easy for him, really, growing up to where he is now. He’s been through a lot and that’s a sign of a mentally tough person is to be able to fight through adversity, concentrate on the things that you can control, doing it to the best of your ability, block the noise out and work hard. When you get the opportunity, make the most of it. He’s done that the last couple of weeks and we need him to continue to do that.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Anything is possible for Foster. I said he could be an electrifying #3 to now I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes our #1. He's a raw prospect, good thing is coach Robiskie is a good NFL coach and this is what good NFL coaches do. Mouse McNally did the same thing with Jason Peters. So long as Foster listens to Robiskie he'll develop into a good player, the talent is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 He's actually 3rd among rookie WRs (Ridley). But still impressive. And again, there is no reason he can't be a #1 WR if he works on his craft and he can easily pack on about 5-10#. That being said, I'd still look to acquire a #1 WR.

Bing Bong Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Foster was a great find this season. I assumed we had to find SOMEONE given were thrusting anybody and everybody into this WR corps. It would be pretty damning if we didn't find one new guy we could stick with for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Foster is a keeper. #1? No. I say that because you cant scheme away a true #1. Now I will say he will dictate coverage. He could become a very good deep threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be pretty hard to scheme away a guy with great speed and the ability to separate, excellent route running and good hands. I guess you could try to press him at the LOS but that's dangerous.

I think there's a good chance that Foster will face a healthy amount of snaps matched up against Darius Slay this week. If so it will be a good test for him to gauge where he is at this point in his career. Edited December 12, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His size would put him as a solid #2, but our #1 will be coming out of this draft in Harry or M Brown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriftygamer83 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 A utility and decoy receiver who can give defensive coordinators fits. As for finding a true number one that needs to be done in the draft. Marquise Brown fits that bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very much awesome to see such a dramatic in-season turnaround. Again, he came to Buffalo with fresh legs. He was flanked by great receivers at Bama, especially Calvin Ridley. Even the running backs (Damien Harris for one) can catch, and they even had a top flight tight end, sometimes 2. There were just so many weapons that he didn't see much action. In this sense he is still learning and a work in progress. I continue to have very high hopes for him and it looks as if he may even exceed my expectations.

He was an afterthought and a part-time player. He was a disappointment in his time there from what they expected. Hopes of him becoming a number 1 aren’t at all realistic. We should hope that he learns to track (and catch) the deep ball. If he can develop into a 3 or 4 that can stretch the field he can be a useful player going forward. That’s a ball that Allen is always going to throw. If he can run underneath a few he can be an asset. A #4 should be a solid contributor on ST..a stud gunner.Foster is anything but that.He's gone this off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It builds draft capital for the line as free agency would tap us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbarg12 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Foster has been night and day since being called back up from the PS, I think he can be a solid #2 receiver for this Allen led offense. I like Zay but he has been on and off all season, but I would definitely like to see them add a #1 in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
