Sky Diver Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Oh, Foster had an offer from Notre Dame. He can’t be too dumb. And Michigan, Illinois, Ohio State, Penn State among others. https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2013/robert-foster-12277#school-interests Edited September 24, 2018 by Sky Diver
apuszczalowski Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 At least the Bill's know they have alot of potential CBs to chose from in the WR room. Wasnt their a saying about CBs "if they could catch the ball they would be WRs". Maybe the saying works the other way too?

Expand One. The other deep ball was an underthrow where Foster made a nice play to come back and prevent an interception. That's on Allen. 1

I'm thinking he should start now. The expectation is when you're open and the ball is placed perfectly...catch the ball. It doesn't matter if you're a rookie....dropping passes when you're open isn't a rookie struggle. How much did you defend Zay Jones last year? Expand I defended Jones a ton last year and so I feel ok doing the same w/ Foster this year. Wideout is a tough position to adjust from college to pros. It's also a lot easier to defend a UDFA who apparently can't catch than a 2nd rounder who apparently can't catch.
RochesterRob Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 As said by others our dire WR situation pushed Foster onto the roster when normally he would have gone to the PS.

berg1029 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Whether you all like it or not, Foster is going to continue to be utilized in this offense. Having a QB like Allen who can throw the deep ball necessitates having a burner like Foster, because it opens everything up. Yes, it would be ideal if the guy didn't have stone hands, but a player like him is a necessity. Forces the defense to play honest and cover the whole field

Expand The benefit of airing it out isn't just the 1 in 5 chance it is completed. Bombs loosed up the defense, drop the safeties and open up the middle. Same way reverses keep the Defensive Ends at home rather than gaining big yards

Expand While I can generally agree with your point the Bills have only 5 WRs on the roster. With Foster not a special teams guy he has to produce something. I'm not trashing the guy but he does need to catch long balls that hit in in the hands.

Very good at tracking as you say and adjusting his speed. Very willing and able blocker. Good hands. Ran decent patterns. He was never just a track guy. People just assumed that without watching I guess. One could argue that his simultaneous track stuff retarded his NFL development to a degree. But he always had WR skills, even in college. Expand Goodwin's problems were all of the "availability" nature. Seemed like he was always nursing some injury, perhaps from being undersized and so finely-tuned for his track pursuits...
