I’m not “rooting against” anyone on the Bills. But you know that. Btw the Bills do have an OSU player. I started a thread about why he could be cut. Because it doesn’t matter where he went to college, it’s called having authenticity in observation. 1 1
Matt_In_NH Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 People were calling for him to be cut after the game.

Do you have any idea how slanted you come off? Plenty of guys have some college affiliations, and that’s cool. They rarely let it become an obsession. It’s not about the player’s old school, it’s about the player wearing the Bills uniform. 1
Pete Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 Foster will have a big night and make this team. That's my prediction 1

That's my prediction I thought it went without saying but I guess not... I hope that happens! I would love to see it. I was excited about the potential when he was signed. I dont think it will happen though, because I follow the day to day reports of the Bills and how each of them are playing. Connect the dots, I do. Edited August 16, 2018 by YoloinOhio 1
MAJBobby Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 The only thing this thread needs is this: (unless I missed it) ”He has to stay on the 53 man roster, because he will never get to the PS. Some team will sign him. Probably Patriots and it will be genius”

If there was no interest and they though was a bust he wouldn’t have gotten 34 snaps. You love that 34 rep number dont you. Here are some other states to show HOW effective those 34 reps where. Targets 5 Catches 0. Yep that is ZERO, the big Zilch. 2 1

Connect the dots, I do. 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. 27 minutes ago, Augie said: Do you have any idea how slanted you come off?

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.

But you read he was good in shorts. And dont accept that he is struggling at camp? So what eyes are you using the Preseason Game? out of 34 reps as you say he had 0 catches on 5 targets. Can you explain to me why there was Zero Catches and only 5 Targets in 34 reps. And a player like Ray Ray gets 3 catches on 4 TGTs and a TD on 24 reps (so guessing he outphlayed Foster right?) also 34 reps inflated a bit right?? Because Brandon Riley got Injured. Kieth Ford had 31 reps must be they have him on their “ Radar” (even though his game was trash as well). See backend of Rosters get alot of Reps because well they dont want to risk injury to all the players above them. So using snap count in Preseason as some measure of success is asinine. 2 1

I don’t see people bashing Bama, just the players lack of refinement, for the most part. I bet 100% of the real fans here want him to go into the HOF as a Bill. He’s just not as close to that as you seem to think. He gets so many reps because they want the light to go on for him, but that takes more than a TC and a few preseason games with a guy so raw. That’s my guess... 1

Goldman was way off the play. http://www.nfl.com/player/ladariusgunter/2553528/profile Edited August 17, 2018 by Sky Diver
MAJBobby Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Right now Foster = Dez Lewis a player that dazzels in shorts. But once pads go on the steady drop in the depth chart begins to eventually being cut.

That’s my guess... 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.

You saw Allen's first pass, right? https://www.buffalobills.com/video/every-josh-allen-pass-preseason-week-1 Foster had 3 deep balls thrown his direction. 1st deep ball caught but thrown out of bounds. 2nd deep ball Foster got caught ball watching. He ran with his head starting at the pass instead of putting your head down running and looking back for the ball when it gets to you. Ball should have been caught if he tracked it properly but because he wasn't running at full speed and ball watching it fell out of his reach. 3rd deep ball Allen was scrambling and Foster stopped running cause he thought that Allen wasn't going to throw his direction. Would have been an easy TD if Foster didn't stop running. When a player has an arm like Allen you have to be prepared at all times.... He gave up on a play and it should have been a TD. And I haven't even mentioned his drop. 1
