I really think he just has to beat out Reilly, Streater, Dupre...not quite the biggest hill to climb. He was a 5* recruit so he has talent. The main knock is his lack of production, but he was on a team that didn't have a great passing attack. He was in the shadow of Calvin Ridley. He could be a gem. Time will tell. 1
Logic Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 10 hours ago, Sky Diver said: Foster is 6'2" 194, I don't think he is competing against two undersized slot receivers. Who do we have on the outside? He is competing to make the roster as a wide receiver, PERIOD. Benjamin Jones Kerley Holmes are likely making the roster. That leaves two spots at most. I'd LOVE it if Foster beat out Andre Holmes and could contribute on special teams and offense. Time will tell if he can do it. 1

Not a productive guy in college, and the speed stuff is a bit overblown. Of the long shots I think Cam Phillips has a better shot, but the competition in camp should be fun to watch. I would think Daboll would know best how productive he can be. The fact he's here should tell you something.

I see your point. However, that same point would make me question why he wasnt more productive under Daboll in college.
Kelly the Dog Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Just now, thenorthremembers said: I see your point. However, that same point would make me question why he wasnt more productive under Daboll in college. As stated earlier, the fact that Foster chose Buffalo knowing Daboll was running the show is one thing, and the fact that Daboll talked Foster up enough to McD and Beane so that they signed him ahead of other teams is another equally significant thing. The fact they both happened simultaneously is reason to believe this guy has a lot of untapped talent. There is also a very believable reason that he didn't put up good numbers. 1

Was their passing game limited due to the QB more than anything though? I kind of think it was after watching two very separate halves of football in the National title game.

I think if Daboll had been able to run the offense through the QB he wanted it would have been much different. This year I think he's got cart Blanche with the QBs, or at least he and McDermott have a clearly mapped out path of development for Allen. And I like that Daboll was in on that process of evaluating Allen. If this goes right he'll be a head coach in a few years. And I do believe Foster is a not so under the radar sleeper to make the 53.
Bangarang Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 I’d be surprised if he actually made the roster but I guess if you want to fight for a job then you’d probably have a better chance here.
YoloinOhio Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 I initially read this as Robert Foster got shot. That is all. 1
Jaywrizzo Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 This is the speed we need...badly. we need to find more speed besides Foster.
Freddie's Dead Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Didn't know Robert Foster was on the roster, thought he was a little old.... 1

JoeF Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Happened to catch the interview with Chris Brown on One Bills Live Friday. Chris said that Foster has impressed in practice and is a really good route runner. He said Saban's knock on Foster was that he lacked Football IQ - the ability to slightly adjust routes slightly based on what he viewed from the D to get open. Chris also said that Ray Ray McCloud has flashed some deep ability. The interview is at about the 1 hour 40 minute of the show. http://www.buffalobills.com/video/audio/OBL-68-AJ-McCarron-on-adjusting-to-Buffalo-Chris-Brown-on-Josh-Allen-at-OTAs/b6e2cdef-17c6-4b13-85a3-941e736b9a43

Lets slow the hype train down a little bit, he'll be lucky to make the practice squad. Yeah, I’m not sure I understand the hype around him. Very little production in college. I will admit that I only saw him play a few times, so my opinion doesn’t matter much. What is it that people see in Foster??

I am just surmising that Daboll thinks he has a shot and that is why we brought him in.

I kind of think it was after watching two very separate halves of football in the National title game. I kind of thought that was likely after watching 1 film clip of the QB in practice with Daboll this year 1 QB was throwing ducks and looked awkward in his drops. The other was smooth and throwing bullets. Looked up the numbers on the 'bama roster, Hurts = ducks.
