GimmeSomeProcess Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Screw that, we need speed on the field. Having Duke active just cause of his blocking ability over speed on the field is foolish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I don't know how many snaps foster gets per game, but is it possible for him to catch anything that isn't a deep ball? Meaning, can't they use him in the shirt game too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Foster was a top receiver 2nd half last year, but his failure to adjust to Josh's deep throw was baffling last week. Its like he lost the ball in the lights or didn't know he was targeted. Finally Josh underthrows a deep ball, but he didn't make a play on it, no chance for a catch, pass interference, nothing. Frustrating. We need to have an offense that can hit on these now and then, but Foster seems to be slumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to say this perhaps, but it seems like he when the offense is clicking it seems that he is on the field, he stirs the drink so to speak. It seemed like last week that Motor's best carries were coming off McKenzie going on his "Jet motion" pre snap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring it Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It’s puzzling, Foster does give more of a deep threat than Williams. But the offense is better overall with Duke as a 3rd receiver. Another weapon besides the TEs. Better in the run game as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideNine Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Not sure what is going on with Duke do not want to read too much into it, but Daboll's offensive personnel decisions are kind of like the offense itself - no identity. I think that is a purposeful thing in that he is trying to replicate a NE game plan-specific personnel package each week, but this group "ain't" there yet in regards to being able to consistently execute like that. Would think keeping some consistency with the guys on the field to develop that consistency in execution would be a better approach. Same way I don't believe that every offensive play has to be a new look to be successful, success can come because a play (even one a defense is expecting) is well executed and your guys are well coached and know how to win some of the match-ups you create. I think Duke brings that physicality to the edge and that is also where we need to attack this defense on runs so the decision is a bit baffling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaT Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I'd be more excited if they'd use Foster like a normal receiver and not just have him run go routes all the time. kind of a useless one trick pony doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That all sounds good but he doesn't get open on a consistent basis. He’s slow with very little burst out of his cuts. He has to be able to catch contested balls because he struggles to actually get separation. Id rather have a guy that drops a ball every now and then but is always open than a guy who struggles to get open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckyBoys Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Browns pass defense is even worse than the run defense. Game plan should be to try and score quick and force the Browns to drop back 40+ times Maybe Foster finally shows up or at least clears out things for Brown underneath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
