Robert Foster candidly talks future with Alabama, frustrations

[JustNeedMe81]

Sounds like the rumors regarding his lack of work ethics was true after all. I'm glad to hear that he'll be back next year.

"Yeah, I'm going to be here next year," he told AL.com at Sugar Bowl media day.

It started with footwork, but he also said he needed to be "more coachable" moving forward.
"Take coaching to another level basically by listening and taking their advice, basically," he said. "Sometimes, I feel like I do my own thing. But at the end, the coaches are always right. So I just need to take the coaching more serious."

This is great news and I suspect he will "explode" on the scene next year!

It sounds like he has a really good attitude and outlook. He'll do well with that in the future.

I'm just happened that he figured it out... I think he realized that if he had worked harder he would've got more playing time this year.

He's definitely one of those guys to get the spots next year... Chris Black as well. Makes me wonder about Falkins and Ridley.. I think we'll see those guys a lot.. we may see lot of rotations at WR.. and it's not a bad thing.. Our offense will be hard to figure out and they wont know who's getting the ball.

To say Amari is an exceptional talent and should be a primary focus of a throwing game is the understatement of the week. Having now said it, I`ll also say that I`m looking forward to 3-4 guys running routes, all pretty much candidates to get the throw.

I am also excited to see what happens when OJ Howard gets everything together. My gut feeling is that Howard, and Chris Black are going to light it up next year. And, Foster has he potential really light it up as well. I know we lost a lot of of this team, but there is a lot of talent ready to develope into exceptional players. JMHO

Watching Foster in warmups, he looks the part; coordinated, smooth, effortless. He just looks better than the others, like Cooper does. But he has yet to carry it to the game. Hoping he does. I will be surprised if he isn't a star, but I said that about Chris Keys watching him in practice and a few others based on practice alone.

I was going to say the same thing. He is a very smooth receiver. If him and OJ Howard can get everything going, our offense might be better next year.

Isn't this the guy that in one of our CBS games last season Gary Danielson singled out as "the next great wr at Alabama"?

I know he's big but he was also a great return player in high school. It would be fun to see him work there a little bit.

Just the way he spoke told me that he likely has bought into the process and the light has come one. I expect great things from him...

Having a guy like #9 helps get other player's attention. If you prepare and listen the way Coop did the sky is the limit. CNS has said it's best when the most talent players buy in.

Yep, there's no motivation like having the man in front of you win some serious hardware, snap some pics in NYC, and be in the top 5 of every mock draft.
