I just read from Chris Brown

[The Juice Is Loose]

Dude, what the heck? We got the "quickest man in the NFL"...we have a hard time throwing to him because he's a spec on the radar once he's ten yards down field.

I bet the center could hit him!

Lets run some damn Wildcat with Roscoe back there! He's got the athletic ability of Vick, and frankly if he played QB in HS he's got to have the same type of throwing ability.

Vick can't throw.

Let's get Roscoe out in some Wildcat!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: I just read from Chris Brown

I agree. We have to get this guy involved. I just don't understand why the ball isn't in his hands more. He's a playmaker!!!

Re: I just read from Chris Brown

He has 9 career carries for almost 5 ypc. You can do a reverse with the option to pass. The guy can probably make 3-4 guys miss per carry.

I just feel that if you have multiple wrinkles in your offense

- No Huddle
- 4/5 wide sets
- Wildcat with Roscoe
- TO/Lee
- Fred/Lynch/Dominic

That is a lot for a team to prepare for. If you have to spend 5 minutes worrying about Roscoe getting the snap, that's 5 minutes you didn't worry about TO or Lee or Fred or Lynch.

That could be 10 extra yards on a crucial play to get us into field goal range, or extend a drive, or run out the clock.

The reason we play the Pats well on opening day the last couple times, was because they didn't know what to prepare for. Each time our team was drastically diff from the year before. This year is the same. If we throw Roscoe out there for 2 snaps per game, its prep time that is wasted by other teams.

You can't talk me out of this.

I'm not a tailgater, so I watch the warm ups closely.

Roscoe throws ropes up to 30 yards.

His arm is very noticeable, and very good.

Re: I just read from Chris Brown

I'm not a proponent of installing an all-out Wildcat set for the offense. However, if the guy can throw (and we all know he's quick), there's no reason why there can't be a couple of trick plays in the playbook involving him getting a reverse or something and passing it. That's just incompetence by the coaching staff.

Re: I just read from Chris Brown

1 he's too short (Flutie size)

2. Turk doesn't have enough tape on how to run the wildcat. He'll need to watch the fins run it more so he can learn.

3. no one can understand what he's saying

Re: I just read from Chris Brown

Yes it should be in the play book. And, they should run it the first week. This will put more on an opponents plate.

Re: I just read from Chris Brown

Oh, and I think Fred Jackson was the emergency QB last year, but Parrish was it for a year or two prior.

Re: I just read from Chris Brown

i think its def worth a shot

Re: I just read from Chris Brown

Lynch throws a fairly good ball as well.

Re: I just read from Chris Brown

Wow, you just found out that he used to play QB...umm, where have you been for the past 4 years?

Interesting. The main drawbacks with Roscoe is he is apparently not the sharpest tool in the shed, and his lack of height could make seeing over the offensive line a bit of a problem. I would not be opposed if Schonert designed some simple players with Roscoe as the wildcat QB that allowed him to roll out and then decide to throw or run.

I never really cared for Parrish. I wasn't happy when we drafted him. I felt we needed to add physical players, and we added the smallest guy in the draft and a TE we never heard of cuz he supposedly could beat K Winslow in a race (Everett)

Sorry I didn't look up the life history of our punt returner.

All I'm talking about, is that every team has installed a wildcat. Every team. Turk has been in the NFL in some capacity for over 20 years and people think he can't write up a couple wildcat plays?! You only need a couple. Once you run them, you come up with a couple more that counter the former ones. You don't need a 40 play book for a couple trick plays to Roscoe.

As far as being too short. You can run some sort of counter action to get him some space. I'm tired of hearing that. If he hands it to Fred or Marshawn the first time we run it, they'll jump toward them the 2nd time.

He's three times as fast as an LB or DL, so if they don't read it right in the first half a second, he's gonna have some space to make a throw.

Worst case just let him run it. Just knowing that he could throw a pass makes it better. It'd get him involved so it'd make him happier. He can leave it all on that play cuz he will be resting the next play.

Unlike a starting RB or QB who may have to run the next play. He can criss cross the field 4 times and burn some people.
