Sky Diver Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) He was a 3* recruit out of HS. 434 National Rank and 58 WR Rank. Foster was a 5* recruit. 23 National Rank and 2 WR Rank. Foster is more gifted and has higher upside than Phillips. Plus he plays special teams. Foster is bigger and faster too. I don't see Phillips beating Foster out. Edited August 2, 2018 by Sky Diver

Just my opinion

Reed 2.0 Expand I was thinking Naaman Roosevelt 2.0. Appears able to separate but not much speed.

Expand Hard to tell on speed issue, would love to see him run now that inguinal hernia is behind him. They take a while post surgery to become comfortable with fully extensing core. Basically intestines penetrating a weakeness in abdominal wall. 3 types of abdominal hernias... inquinal (sports) lower abdominal wall, umbilical just like it sounds, and hiatal hernia the stomach penetrating diagraphm... most of us like 80% have very small ones but the bad one cause a lot of reflux and trouble swallowing. If he doesn’t gain speed and can’t play special teams.., agree probably practice squad at best for him. We will see.. So far he looks good.

Expand As Daboll said in a presser, there's many ways to stretch a field. It doesn't have to be vertical/down field passing.

I like KB and I see a lot of potential in our younger guys, but there's something to be said for having someone who the safeties know can be past them in a flash if they cheat up at all.

Expand Not sure how much the recruitment will matter, but i agree- if they're looking purely for a developmental guy, they will likely go with the guy with higher upside. If Phillips wants a spot he has to prove right now that he can have a positive impact.

Benjamin and Kerley are locks Zay Jones probably? Dupre maybe? Then there’s a whole bunch of slot receivers. Reilly, Phillips, Foster, McCloud, Proehl, etc. just from reading reports, I can’t see Reilly, Phillips, or Foster getting cut. So that puts our two drafted receivers on the practice squad? Expand How is Kerley a lock? Did I miss something?

Not every thread needs to be about Bama in some way, shape or form but you try to integrate it into every discussion. It’s quite fascinating. I truly don’t care about his ACT scores. it was just a joke, no need to be so sensitive.
CommonCents Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Drafting WRs should be easy then, just look for the next big fast guy like Roy Williams. I was going to make a Matt Millen joke but didn’t realize he was in bad health.
