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. 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? 1 hour ago, MAJBobby said: 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.

Logic Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I feel like this thread should be called "lone Crimson Tide fan battles dozens of realistic Bills fans". ALL OF US are rooting for him to succeed. What Bills fan in their right mind WOULDN'T want a big, fast, talented receiver to do well and earn a role on offense? All everyone seems to be saying is that he needs some seasoning, he has some things to improve on, and he might not make the 53-man roster based on some drops and concentration lapses that have been happening for about two weeks now. No one says he can't EVER succeed or is a bum, just that he has a lot of work to do to make the roster. Why is that something that must be fought tooth and nail for 11 pages? Sheesh. 1

Ga boy Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 12 hours ago, That's No Moon said: Yes, I saw the first one that was well out of bounds. I also saw the second one where Foster was watching the ball for 25 yards and I also saw the 3rd one where he gave up on the play and stopped running. He got open on deep routes a couple times, no plays made. 1 on the QB. 1 clearly on Foster. One split roughly 50/50. Then there were the other targets, one where he either ran the wrong route or Allen missed him by 3 yards, 1 50/50 ball where he allowed the DB to undercut him, and one he flat out dropped. He needs to make plays on Friday. A lot of them. It wouldn't hurt if he made a special teams tackle or 3 either. If the dude is all of that, he better be all of that under the Friday nite lites. Like to see it happen for him; otherwise, his only Friday nite lites will be at HS football games back home. 1
Ol Dirty B Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 12 hours ago, Sky Diver said: He had great separation on Thursday and just missed on two huge plays, scorching veteran CBs. He caught one, but the ball drifted out of bounds and the other was just outside of his reach. He lit it up in practice on Monday. "On Monday, he pushed that aside to have his best day of training camp by a substantial margin. Foster was all over the place, making catch after catch during team drills..." https://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/joe-b-7-observations-from-2018-buffalo-bills-training-camp-day-14 He has blazing speed and he knows how to get open. He was playing 3rd stringers against a secondary that was planning on starting Cockrell, and is now looking at Kevon Seymour. Those guys are garbage he was playing. I like his athleticism and would love a surprise. But quit it with the agenda. 2 hours ago, Sky Diver said: 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. You only created this thread because of the Alabama connection. It's so transparent, it'd be better if you just owned it. 12 hours ago, Sky Diver said: Correct. He torched a 4.39 speed guy. Did Steve Tasker point that out? What if Tasker went to Alabama? You'd be having a hell of an identity crisis right now. 1

I just don't think he will. It wasn't as much but his hype reminds me of Da'rick Rogers out of Tennessee if I remember his name correctly. A guy with potential, but at that level more times the potential goes unfulfilled rather than working out.
