No room for Roscoe

[Yasgur's Farm]

I don't see any room for Roscoe to work on his superstar aspirations...

1) There's a reason why he averages less than 10 yards per catch in spite of all his elusiveness. Some of it I think is due to his tendency to give back yardage after catch in hopes of breaking a play. But I think it's more his inability to gain separation that does him in. This basically eliminates him from any consideration as a #1 or #2 WR.

2) Also... If Roscoe's on the field, defenses know without a doubt that we're either passing or running a reverse. His inability to block is the biggest factor in him not being a full time #3.

3) That leaves him #4 at best... As the 4th WR, there's no doubt we're gonna pass the ball... We're telling the whole world. Therefore his presence on the field is not detrimental in that regard. And with 3 other WR's lining up, he'll likely have a better chance of getting off the line. JUST 1 PROBLEM... If we're lining up 4 WR's... I'd much rather they be Evans, Owens, Reed, and Hardy or Johnson.

Sorry Roscoe... No room for you to be a superstar.

We can't keep him as a special team player that contributes no where else on the field espically being McKelvin showed he is capable last year. He has little to none trade value but could be used as a decoy.

The Bills are dumb if they don't make room for him, which they haven't - not enough at least.

I am not saying cut him but we do not need him. Unless they can figure out how to use him on the offense and get production out of him. We cant fill a spot with a kick returner that serves no other purpose and thus far he hasnt fit into any other roles...

Re: No room for Roscoe

I watched his play last year and I believe at the Jets game I saw him on his ass about 3 times.

Plain and simple the guy is not big enough and never will be.

Why do you think the Bills have been trying to trade him?

Cutting him doesn't make sense either. So he stays as the punt return specialist until someone covets a one dimensional punt returner.

1) the coaches haven't even been able to come up with a play to get Evans the ball so I'm not surprised Parrish couldn't get any balls thrown his way.

2) Evan is Trents no. 1 target in the deep ball and Reed/Lynch/Jackson is trent favorite targets. Parrish was most likely the 3rd or 4th option in the passing game.

3) He'd be a great weapon running screene plays. Problem is, our coaches don't know what that is.


Yes he's lost in the shuffle and he'd probably do better else where where coaches know how to ultilize his strengths.

The guy's route running is horrific.

But when he has the ball, he's a freak. I expect him to have the same number of touches as years past but more with running from the "wildcat".

Re: No room for Roscoe

This stupid coaching staff doesn't know HOW to use him. That's the problem....
