We are fine. Robert foster is a former #1 receiver out of hs, we got that oregon state transfer who has lots of experience, ardarius stuart looks like an upgrade over christian jones, and we have the #1 hs receiver from last year coming in fall. Your concern is endearing,

I'm not worried about our WR situation. Now, DB, QB, and RB is a different story.

What is your point? You said you are not worried about Auburn running the ball even though they have no proven backs. Do you think Bama fans are worried about the guys they have at receiver?

Cam Sims tore his ACL or he may have started this year.

WR is probably the position I'm worried the least about besides DLine. Even if they haven't seen the field a whole lot they've all been in the program for two or three years and have been with Kiffin for over a year. When they have gotten opportunities both Foster and Stewart have looked like playmakers.

If there is an issue there it's depth as beyond Foster/Stewart/Mullaney/Black there are no legitimate options (yet) with Sims injured.

6'2 181 lbs seems light for safety. I imagine he's put on a few pounds.

Thinking Lane Kiffen won't have a WR put up big numbers this year is somewhat laughable.

The article says he was up to 193 at the end of last month. He's coming along fine.

Why hasn't Robert Foster made an impact? He almost went to Pitt and Tyler Boyd in the same class is a projected first rounder? I asked this before and got accused of trolling, I'm just curious here. Isn't Chris Black pretty good too?

Robert Foster is expected to start this fall. We've had a lot of experienced receivers leave for the NFL in the last 2 seasons. Now its Robert Foster's turn. Chris Black is expected to play a lot as well.

The alter strikes again.

Only an LSU fan would post about Alabama like this.

Long on talent and short on experience.

He's not "moved" to WR - he's just going to play a dual role.

We're pretty deep, talent wise, at WR. #1 WR from the 2015 class (Calvin Ridley), #9 from 2015 (Daylon Charlot), #2 from 2013 (Robert Foster), #10 from 2014 (Cam Sims).

Considering how young he is, he's probably in a backup role at both spots. Depth and where he shines best at will determine if one ends up being his primary role or the other.

AU and Arky must be worried I assure UA will not be hurting at WR, they will stretch the field and expect a lot of deep throws, to go along with the package they had last year, I believe they will get plenty of chances UA has the best front 7 in the nation with track stars ad dbs they will get better and better each game, and for those who think we will lose to ole sis at home you are going to be very disappointed, UA by 14, we are going to surprise AU its going to be ugly, Now any more questions talk to the Hand, Roll Tide.
