  1. I disagree. He certainly made a play on Allen's first pass. It just didn't result in a TD because the ball was thrown out of bounds.
  2. Foster makes these guys look like they are wearing cement shoes. It looks like he caused a few ankle injuries.
  3. He came up with the first pass, but it was thrown out of bounds. That’s hardly Foster’s fault. I disagree about the 2nd pass. He made two excellent football plays to get behind veteran CBs which very nearly resulted in TDs. Other Bills WRs likely don’t make those plays. Let’s assume for the sake of argument you’re right. He still torched a 4.39 CB by a few yards. Are we really arguing about a 50 or so yard pass that was just off his finger tips? If he can do that with supposed bad technique, we may have something really special.
  4. The first ball, which Foster caught, was thrown out of bounds and the second ball was just out of his reach. He made two excellent football plays to get behind veteran CBs on deep patterns that very easily could have resulted in TDs. Maybe Coleman has the same ability. We’ll see. Otherwise, who do we have that can do what Foster did. We have to have a guy that can stretch the field.
  5. Rogers played one year at Tennessee and then transferred to Tennessee Tech after Tennessee suspended him. Tennessee Tech is a FCS school in the Ohio Valley Conference. Rogers acknowledged he failed 3 drug tests while he was at Tennessee. My points stand. Foster is a 4.4 guy Rogers is a 4.5 guy. Foster has run a 4.34 while at Alabama. He has more than “some speed” and he plays fast. Foster has had no off the field or drug issues. Foster played in a superior college program/conference. If he plays at a school like TT, I’m sure that he would have gotten a lot more touches. Foster played gunner with the first unit during camp, so he has special teams skills. I don’t know about Rogers. Foster made two plays in last week’s game which were very nearly TDs after he torched veteran CBs. His potential is undeniable and he had a great practice on Monday according to an independent account. I choose to be optimistic about Foster, but for some reason that is highly upsetting to some people.
  6. I remember the hype. He plays for the Argos. There is no hype for Foster. Rogers had some off the field and behavioral issues, I believe. There is none of that with Foster. Foster played in a much better program/conference and he’s faster than Rogers. I don’t think they are the same type of players. We’ll see how much playing time Foster gets tomorrow.
  7. They are in the same building, why weren’t they in the office together for the meeting? Applogize to the listeners and go through her slide deck. Just tell her next time find a better way to communicate if she can’t make a meeting. I had food poisoning recently. It isn’t much fun. It wasn’t as if she bolted to get in 18 holes.
  8. Funny since I was abused for criticizing Dareus, who I pegged as a bum early in his career. I was never a fan of the guy.
  9. A lot of the 11 pages are trolling about the academics at Alabama which is completely irrelevant to Foster and the Buffalo Bills. But hey, if you want me to discuss academics, I am happy to set the record straight on what a fine university Alabama is. You must be new because a lot of the posters here aren’t in their right minds. I obviously disagree with the general assessment of Foster’s play last Thursday. Great player, probably a nice guy, but a terrible announcer and commentator. Providing you a definition of a catch clearly didn’t help. Here is a video that describes what a catch is.
  10. Maybe this will help. catch kaCH,keCH/ verb intercept and hold (something that has been thrown, propelled, or dropped). "she threw the bottle into the air and caught it again" synonyms: seize, grab, snatch, take hold of, grasp, grip, trap, clutch, clench; More capture (a person or animal that tries or would try to escape). "we hadn't caught a single rabbit" synonyms: capture, seize; More noun an act of catching something, typically a ball. a device for securing something such as a door, window, or box. "the window catch was rusty" synonyms: latch, lock, fastener, clasp, hasp "he secured the catch"
  11. You were watching the Bills, right? Blue uniforms, white helmets with a Buffalo. What do you call that thing that happens at the 10 sec mark?
  12. Agreed, but don’t discount McCarron. He’s a competitive guy and he’ll bring his A game.
  13. Show me an example of a WR not looking back for the ball. The criticism on the second deep ball is ridiculous. What commentator does it come from? Wrong, as usual. At least your consistent.
  14. Anyway, with the Coleman signing it looks like PS.
  15. Not arguing, putting it in perspective.
  16. He actually has a reputation of being a good route runner. The knock was his lack of production, but he was actually tied for the 2nd most receptions for WRs his last year at Alabama. The problem was Alabama wasn’t a passing team and the roster is loaded. There are only so many touches to go around.
  17. He was covered by 23, LaDarius Gunter. Goldman was way off the play. http://www.nfl.com/player/ladariusgunter/2553528/profile
  18. Haven’t been to camp, but from what I’ve read, he was impressive in OTA’s but struggled a bit in camp. If he was terrible and had no chance of making the team, do you think they gave him 34 reps? Do you think Allen’s first pass would have been a bomb to him. And if he can’t track a ball, how does he come down with a 60 yard pass? If I connect the dots, he’s getting a good look. Read my first post. There was nothing about Alabama. When the trolls pop up bashing the university, I’m going to respond. If they want to go off topic and discuss academics, I’ll play along.
  19. If the Bills had any OSU players, I wouldn’t be rooting against them like the Bucksty Guy is rooting against Foster.

  21. By being on the radar, they are giving him a close look at giving him reps to develop his game. If there was no interest and they though was a bust he wouldn’t have gotten 34 snaps.
  22. If the guy isn’t on the Bills’ radar, please explain why he got 34 snaps, the most of any WR.
  23. He had great separation on both of the long throws against veteran CBs. He is big, strong, and shifty enough to get off the line. He has to be accounted for at all times. I’d like to see him get some sideline screen passes if CBs are playing off him.
  24. It really is. The grounds are impeccably maintained. It’s a wonderful environment. They announced a $600M plan to renovate athletic facilities so campus will be even better.
  25. Ever player on the Bills needs to get better. He’s a freakish athlete who had the third fastest 40 time among WR’s. Not a lot of players would have been in a position to catch either ball.
