Robert Foster = total non factor


Steptide

Recommended Posts

I know he's a special teamer, but even in that category he seems nowhere to be found. Foster has 3 catches this year for 64 yards. In 2 games Duke williams has 6 catches for 58 yards. 

 

This isn't another Duke williams thread, it's a find another freaking reciever thread. Whether it's Duke williams or someone else, the bills desperately need another passing threat. Beasley and brown are solid, but past that the bills are almost hopeless.

He did make a tackle today on special teams. At least that is something. Agreed on the find another receiver. It clearly isn’t Duke, the coaches aren’t giving him another shot for one reason or another. Have to go into the draft to find a legit receiver. Need a guy who can body out a corner, make a contested catch, make a jump ball catch.

LOL

 

They will in the off season.  You're not bringing in some guy week 17 and expect him to contribute.  Of all the positions on the field WR is one of the longest learning curves as now matter how good or bad the WR is, he also needs to be on the same page as the QB, so 2 people involved.

I would not have said this before the regular season started but : if this was how we were going to use Foster, then I wish we would have kept Zay Jones. Zay was a total letdown and it seemed as if there was no place for him. But at this point, I’d much rather see him on the outside across from Brown. I don’t understand what happened with Foster but it’s been a complete waste.

It was a big tackle also. Would have been a huge return.

I just can’t assign blame to Foster when he’s not getting the time on the field. We’ve all seen what he can do with the ball in his hands and when he has a chance. 
I would think the coaches would design plays to let him run some deep digs and crossers and see what he can do after the catch. He needs to play over McKenzie imo.

good point. Zay is the worst, but at least could run some routes, get open, and catch a ball or two on a good day.

Either Josh has lost confidence in Foster and Mackenzie or they get no separation. Perhaps that's why Josh has to take sacks and or tuck it and run. Why can't Dabol throw to his backs. I also didn't see one screen.  They are running really vanilla offense with  an O-line that can't open holes against good front sevens. Unfortunately that's usually what you face in the playoffs.

Nobody can make plays if they don’t get targets. We don’t target Foster, or kroft, or singletary in the pass game, usually don’t even target McKenzie just use him as misdirection mostly. You can’t blame guys for not making plays if they are not given chances to make plays. Foster had 1 target tonight? That was him on the high throw in the end zone right? If it wasn’t him then I never even seen him on offense. 
I don’t care about duke or Yeldon but I would rather get them active and sit some special teams guys just to show defenses something different. We run the same formations over and over and everyone knows we will only target 3 guys in brown Beasley and Knox. At least mix up the formations some. If I see McKenzie on the fake sweep one more time I might puke. Glad they at least tried brown on one tonight

Woulda been nice if Allen hit him for a TD.  I think he was open in the 4th Q on that deep shot

  

I think Allen missed him on a good route in Miami.  The one tonight looked like it would of been pretty risky to squeeze in. I wasn’t sure if it was foster or brown but there was 2 patriot guys in decent position it would of had to of been a perfect pass.
