Robert Foster?

[Wolfman]

Is he redshirted for the year? He would be the perfect weapon to replace Drake. He's a bigger version of Cooper.

 

[Blindside13]

Reshirted last year he among a few other players were supposed to be in the new crop of playmakers and contribute this year.

 

[bamanix]

yes, he is among a bumper crop of receivers we have, 5 stars, 4 stars, black, sims, foster, but, we don't need them this year, we cant get the ball downfield, and utilize their speed, and hands. we lack a lot of tight ends that can block though

Looking elsewhere. Will know more at the end of the season.

As in looking to transfer?

As in looking to transfer?

Yup.

We had other players looking into it last season, but playing time fixed that. So as I said, we'll know more at the end of the season. Maybe he stays; maybe not.

I don't blame some of the WRs. I'm surprised we sign as many highly touted ones as we do considering how poor our passing game is compared to some of the air raid schools.

 

[Wolfman]

Dang. As a Philly/NJ fan, I was stoked to see him on Bama.

 

[Love the Ping]

I don't see a Drake replacement on the roster.

Not one in the conference. The kid was/is special.

I don't think it'll benefit Foster in a way where he has to transfer. Foster has hard time keeping his heads up when he tackle a player... His injuries kept him from getting the reps he needed. IF I were him, I would stay another year, because It would be Ragland and Foster up front next year.... So I dont see him trying to transfer.. I do have a feeling of who will transfer next year...

The thread is about Robert Foster the wide receiver. You are talking about Reuben Foster the linebacker.

It definitely makes a difference, doesn't it.
I hope Robert stays, but I could understand his wanting to play.
It's the talent on roster, the 'Nature of the Beast'.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Oh, my apologies. Let's see.. Cooper, White, Jones are gone after this year. Robert should have a chance to crack the lineup next year. IF he's going to transfer, he probably would have to do it before the fall camp.

 

[BamaMoon]

If he can catch a punt and hang on to a kick off I can think of a place for him right now.

 

[gtowntide]

Actually Robert Foster was the return man on his high school team and was very good. Why not give him a shot?

 

[bamaga]

I don't see a Drake replacement on the roster.

Maybe Ardarious Stewart, Thought he would play more regardless.

 

[russtang]

If Foster, Black, Stewart, Falkins, Sims don't get any playing time this year, we can still use the excuse that "we're young and inexperienced at receiver-we lost three senior receivers-we are in a re-building year" when we play poorly next year.

At least your outlook is positive.

If the worst part of our team next year is the WR group we will be just fine. That is about the least most important part of the team IMO, meaning that it's a lot harder to find and develop QB and lineman than it is a WR. Saban has said as much also, that WR and RB are the easiest positions for a freshman to come in and make an impact..
