Foster may well have the physical tools to be a 3-down backer but so have a lot of 'bama backers. They simply lack the innate feel for it and don't have a good idea of what to do with themselves in space.

In the past, yes.
I think they've tweeted their ILBs a bit and they've become more ready. Mosley has transitioned well.
I think it's more about the player himself. So many of them were slow footed downhill types and they've gone more to smaller athletes.
Or atleast it seems that way to my untrained eye.
