ILBillsfan Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Horrible decision, the Browns are bad vs the run and I would like Duke out there helping to block vs having Fosters one deep route. I do not get the love fest for Foster by this staff 2
Real McClappy Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Just hope Foster turns is up in the cold like late last year.
Lurker Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Must be more to the story about Duke's deactivation the past two games than we're hearing...

However, I do remember seeing Duke on Special Teams (Kickoff) against the Titans (I was at the game.) Has Foster been playing as a gunner on punt coverage?
GimmeSomeProcess Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Screw that, we need speed on the field. Having Duke active just cause of his blocking ability over speed on the field is foolish. 1

Steptide Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 I don't know how many snaps foster gets per game, but is it possible for him to catch anything that isn't a deep ball? Meaning, can't they use him in the shirt game too?
Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Bills lack speed on offense. McKenzie and Foster are better fits.
Helpmenow Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Yeldon as well, not playing much. Thought he would be decent here
Da webster guy Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Foster was a top receiver 2nd half last year, but his failure to adjust to Josh's deep throw was baffling last week. Its like he lost the ball in the lights or didn't know he was targeted. Finally Josh underthrows a deep ball, but he didn't make a play on it, no chance for a catch, pass interference, nothing. Frustrating. We need to have an offense that can hit on these now and then, but Foster seems to be slumping.

Expand I like Duke as well, but not at McKenzie's expense. Crazy to say this perhaps, but it seems like he when the offense is clicking it seems that he is on the field, he stirs the drink so to speak. It seemed like last week that Motor's best carries were coming off McKenzie going on his "Jet motion" pre snap. 2
Bring it Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 It’s puzzling, Foster does give more of a deep threat than Williams. But the offense is better overall with Duke as a 3rd receiver. Another weapon besides the TEs. Better in the run game as well!

CaptnCoke11 Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Don’t get the in-fatuation over Williams at all. 1
Chill Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Duke is not good... Edited November 10, 2019 by Chill
WideNine Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Not sure what is going on with Duke do not want to read too much into it, but Daboll's offensive personnel decisions are kind of like the offense itself - no identity. I think that is a purposeful thing in that he is trying to replicate a NE game plan-specific personnel package each week, but this group "ain't" there yet in regards to being able to consistently execute like that. Would think keeping some consistency with the guys on the field to develop that consistency in execution would be a better approach. Same way I don't believe that every offensive play has to be a new look to be successful, success can come because a play (even one a defense is expecting) is well executed and your guys are well coached and know how to win some of the match-ups you create. I think Duke brings that physicality to the edge and that is also where we need to attack this defense on runs so the decision is a bit baffling. 1
