GunnerBill Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 8 minutes ago, Kelly the Dog said: It could easily be that they feel Brown and Foster are somewhat redundant, and more effective together in 4WR sets, and that Cole in the slot, Zay running intermediate routes and Brown being the deep guy is the best three pronged attack. I don't happen to agree with that in total because I don't think that Zay is a good intermediate guy, he is best at the 3-8 yard routes like Beasley will be doing. But there is a logic to it. Not to mention that Foster does seem to need a fire lit under him, and Zay had a great off-season and was the veteran starter at that position last year. Zay needs to take a giant leap in year three in a lot of areas, I sure hope he does. Foster needs to show he can run and be effective in 5-15 yard routes. He showed flashes last year but just flashes. I think it as much about Foster's mistakes in route running still based on what I hear and read. But I am not in camp, obviously.

hemma Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I know it is way early, but so far, this does not sound like a 16.8 points per game team. All the reporters sound much more upbeat about the offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foster made the team last year and got cut after the 6th game "that counted", because he was making route running mistakes and on his deep routes, not contesting for and even not catching balls that went right through his hands. After about a month on the Taxi Squad and an attitude adjustment, he came back refocused and contributed. This year, we've seen Foster fail to adjust/contest for a couple deep balls (his bread and butter) and make at least one mistake lining up that Allen called him on. People who are there have also commented on body language. I don't think McDermott is calling him out in a presser because it's "way out of proportion" - that doesn't seem like McClappity's style. He's concerning the coaching staff. He's got that thing you can't coach (speed) and he'll get every opportunity to make the team, but if he doesn't change state, it's not totally beyond belief that McKensie and someone lower on the camp depth will make it and Foster will find himself looking for a new hat - especially if McKensie has successfully been strengthening himself. Foster shouldn't bank too much on his combination of fast 40 time and height. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear from where you are coming from. But those in game issues are solved via practice. So was cut and signed to PS where he busted his but to get better after being humbled. Now comes into camp (After Bills signing same type of player, that runs better routes, in UFA) as he arrived and back to loafing. Yelled at by Josh Yesterday. Called out by McD. Maybe those will get his light back on and the feeling of I have arrived gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's NFL football, Man. Yes, he did everything right this off-season, but when the coach calls you out in a presser and says you need to "evolve", you better make a change, especially if you're later seen making a concentration drop from the second string QB.

We have Shady, Singletary, Gore, Yeldon and Murphy. 5 capable RBs imo (I like Murphy more than most). If we could get a draft pick for any of those guys (minus Singletary) I expect Beane to pull the trigger. I believe shady still has some gas in the tank, but 1 year left on his contract and a deep backfield makes him tradeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Foster came into camp expecting to start and maybe got down/frustrated/upset to see he had to earn it and McD is working to teach the young player the all important mental side of the game and commitment. The fact McD is publicly talking about it to me sends a signal they believe in the kid and working to teach him how to be a pro more than anything. People forget Foster worked hard this offseason too as he was wherever Josh was working out with him this offseason. I think Foster is going to be a big part of this offense still and McD is focused on getting this kid in position to teach his potential.

WideNine Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Keeping one eye on how Hockenson is doing and my later draft TE favorite Josh Oliver - was pretty sure Oliver was on NE's radar with their trades to get in front of us in the 3rd, then hasty retreat from the 3rd right after Marrone snagged him. Not wishing any lack of success on our own boys - there are a few that take their personal draft boards all the way around the bend with the "I told you so" and you wonder which team they are rooting for. First and foremost I am Bills fan and I want to see the guys on our roster become players that make other teams drool. As tempted to rush things as they will be with the thin depth, they need to take the long view and give Knox's hammy the time to fully recover. Probably goes without saying, but Kroft is PUP bound and Beane's staff will be watching other team cuts and waivers to improve our depth TE. I just can't help but remain curious about some of the TE's that stirred so much pre-draft controversy to see if they realize the potential some of us saw in them. That being said, regardless of where a player is taken in the draft it only takes a single injury for any player to go from hopeful hero to goat - it is the sad reality for professional athletes and we fans of the game can then argue forever about the kind of player they would have become. Personally I will never forget the kind of incredible player Sam Cowart was becoming and the Frank Middleton cheap shot that I think ruined a pro-bowl career. I always root for the Bills to crush Tampa the rare times we get to play them even though we are a generation or two removed from that hit.
