RyanC883 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I would like this addition. Good depth. I'm impressed with the depth we are amassing all-around. Last year we lacked starters at key positions (OL, WR, TE) and depth at others (secondary, LB). We are fixing those problems this year! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and Now I can look at these pre-camp releases to fix and address depth instead of still trying to find starters. Foster at age 30 would be tremendous as a Back Up to Edmunds and to help him Continue to Grow. I think this one would be a no brainer. Normally not a XXXX Released Go Sign him Bills, but this one just screams smart to me. Edited July 23, 2019 by MAJBobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not to mention after being in the league for 9 years now, will provide the experience to grow Edmunds. Think of him as Barkley to Allen. Foster to Edmunds.

Like I said....definately always open to improving especially the back end of the roster and McD and Beane do a lot of tinkering with this..... I am thinking more of the type of LB.....(I dont know a lot about Foster) Julian Stanford fits that athletic cover LB that it looks like the D wants to employ in the middle of the field.....

Foster is a sideline to sideline LBer and good (not great) in coverage. Also can play MIKE and SAM. So is he better than Stanford (I say yes but can be debated) or even better than Deon Lacy (absolutely is) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Stanford has been in the league for 6 years and has 0 INTs, 0 Sacks and 1 Passes Defended. Foster did better his rookie year. If Foster would be willing take on a backup/mentor role with the Bills and play some STs like he has in the past he would be an upgrade IMO. After the starters the Bills have no real game experience at LB. Edited July 23, 2019 by ColoradoBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Joshin' Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 LB depth is the weakness of the defense. If he is willing to backup Edmunds, he should be pursued. Can he play outside? If so, even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't all be roses if a capable player is dropped right before camp Makes me curious. If there’s something else floating around (DUI, etc) it’ll surface in the next 48 hours or so. The timing is a little unusual with the R Foster injury, but there are plenty of reasons for a release... anything from a coaching disagreement to a promising rookie.

Back in December, the linebacker said "F--- this team and fan base," referring to the Redskins and their fans. He also famously lashed out at the team's front office back in 2017.

Foster is still good enough to start on a few teams and I bet he will be looking to go to a team with a chance to start. I don't see him having a legit shot to compete for a starting role in Buffalo.

Bills will pitch the competition thing like they did with Yeldon as well. Add in the pitch about the recovery center (for an older player especially). But your right ultimately his say but I would hope Bills are making the effort to try to get him under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) There is a connection there as he played for Leslie Frazier in Tampa. He was also terrible there in the Tampa 2 system becuase he lacked coverage ability, and that was when he was young. That said, he would definitely be some solid depth, but I don't think the regime will go after him. I don't think he's what they are looking for. Just my 2 cents. He's a 3-4 ILB imo.

At least I hope he does. I also like Joseph as the dark horse player of the year on Defense. And yes to Foster. Guy got killed here for a lot of alleged charges that amounted to nothing, but that may be enough to spook OBD. If Foster wants to play pro ball, put everything behind him, play in a small media market, and focus on football with no immediate expectations (because of Lorax, Edmunds, Milano) then yes. It's a no brainer. I actually think the culture is strong enough right now to bring in a Reuben Foster and benefit for it. Foster could man MLB #2 and maybe play some MIKE. Rotate Lorax, Joseph and Foster as needed. He would be an immediate #2 MLB/ILB if McDermott wanted to show some 3-4 looks, or 4-3 over looks on running downs.
