GimmeSomeProcess Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Like the Spencer Long signing. Insurance if Spain doesn’t resign and is the worst case scenario. Him at LG and Ford at Tackle is still okay, though I want to see Ford at G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a versatile depth option, with starting experience, and we all know how much they love versatility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if he can't make it based on his capabilities on offense and is still on the team because we can't find a better gunner on punts, then they've made a mistake. He has to make it as a WR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 There isn't a Bills fan alive that doesn't think the Bills need two more WRs with at least one having the potential / reality of being a truly great boundary WR. However, even with those additions, Foster had a really strong Rookie year with Josh and I wonder if he can find some of that electricity again with Josh. Foster *can* be a valuable commodity for the Bills Offense, IF he can come out and play more than just the long ball or the gadget sweep plays. He needs to be physical at the point of attack, run sharp routes and use his speed in space. We'll see if he can make the next step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Long and Foster raise the floor on this team. Wallace potentially raises the ceiling as well. He was playing good football last year when he got hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was with regard to Spencer Long. But I do agree that they should be adding enough options at WR to push Foster off the roster. ST could be his saving grace depending on how things play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before anyone starts with their well rehearsed zingers about the pro bowl not being like a regular game, i think the larger point is that he can obviously get open and catch the ball. I think maybe I'd like to see a little more of him at WR? 13 minutes ago, The Firebaugh Kid said: I still cant explain what happened to Foster last year. Not a process guy? What gives?

BeastMaster Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I'm all for giving Foster a last shot...the kid has some serious burst, and has shown some connection with Allen.

SCBills Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I liked the comparison with Foster to how the Steelers develop their WR's, to where they have these guys that come out of nowhere in their 2nd, 3rd, 4th year in the league and everyone wonders where this guy came from.... Not saying he'll ever get to a point where he's a reliable contributor, but it certainly seems Buffalo sees something in order to keep working on developing him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Foster is still somehow 4th or 5th on the depth chart entering the season then they didn't do nearly enough at the position. I didn't say he's a lock. I said it's a little premature to claim that if he's on the team the Bills haven't "done enough" with the WR corps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem like the kinda fella that puts speed bumps on handicap ramps. That aside, Long is really the only player I think is worth while on that list.

T master Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Good move Long has the versatility McD covets in his players & The other 2 players they get at a vet minimum as far as their contracts go & probably can be cut with no huge ramifications as far as their contracts Beane continues his good judgement for the team !!
