While Adam Schefter’s ESPN comments revolved this past week on rationalizing a Terrell Owens trade, the Buffalo Bills are very likely to move a receiver within the next 48 hours. That receiver however, will not be Owens.

Good riddance. Fred Jackson did just as good a job as Roscoe yesterday. I'd keep FJ on kick and punt returns from here on out.

While Jackson is fine for punt returns, the only person returning kickoffs should be our pro bowl returner. If McGee is healthy he should be back there.

Hopefully it is sooner than later. It's a minor distraction the rest of the team does not need.

YOu can't have your best cover corner, and arguably your best defensive player returning kicks. It just doesn't happen anymore.

2 things.

1. having a stud returner does us no good this year. We can't help but take a ST penalty every return
2. Retire number 11 once he's gone. There is nothing good coming from number 11 in over 20 years.

Parrish has become a liability. He could never play WR, and now he has become counter productive as a punt returner.

Good riddance.

I'd like to see where the Parrish defenders are now. The guy makes some stupid decisions for the sake of making plays. And I'm not just talking about the Cleveland game. There was another game (can't remember which one last year) where the ball was punted to the goal line/1 yard line and he tried to return it. He got a decent number of yards, but since none of the other Bills were expecting him to try and return it, a holding penalty was called. They got backed up at their own one and I think it resulted in a safety or something bad.

If they can get any sort of trade going for Parrish, it would be a miracle. I'd love to see him moved.

When not making negative game changing gaffes, Roscoe has become mostly a bouncing punt watcher.

Good. I like having Freddy on Kick/Punt returns anyway.

If Freddy handles our returns, I'd give him 5-10 less carries, so Lynch has a chance to get rolling. Lynch is much better when he gets the ball 20+ times per game.

DMBcrew36

10-19-2009, 09:29 AM

I've never been a fan of parrish. He runs terrible routes as a wr and makes dumb decisions as a return man. He is just another guy who can't play his position that buffalo over-valued for S/T. Hopefully they'll learn their lesson about drafting guys from Duhhhhh U.

Especially with Stevie Johnson waiting to get a chance at WR -- Parrish is expendable. The Bills have others players like McKelvin (when healthy) and Jackson that can return punts.

bigbub2352

10-19-2009, 09:35 AM

Parrish is a toy not a football player, he provides nothing at all as a WR except for the occasional gadget play
He had his window as a punt returner like most do and Marv panicked and overpaid him
Get something for him and move on Jackson and Lankster can return punts
Roscoe is also very articulate in interveiws and the locker room so that mite be missed (sarcasm)

Because you didn't get excited every time Parrish returned a punt, right? He was always a threat to go the distance, and he did several times.

Seriously, everytime he touched the ball (this year anyway), i held my breath because i was waiting for something stupid to happen. He was pretty putrid this year IMO

Jan Reimers

10-19-2009, 09:44 AM

That doesn't make sense. They are sold out for the year and TO only got a 1 year deal.
TO has been a model teammate, but I wouldn't mind seeing him traded, if we could get anything of value. I realize our quarterbacking has been terrible, but it looks like TO's skills are diminishing rapidly. He has lost a step or two, his hands are worse than ever, and he really doesn't get much separation anymore.

I think he's an amazing punt returner, but

- He's been adamant that he does not want to be here
- He hasn't been able to make plays on offense
- We don't know how to use him on offense

If all he is going to do is return punts - we have other guys who can do that.

Definitely not this year, I haven't. Just look at the stats:

Parrish has 12 returns for 73 yards (6.1 avg), long of 31 and 2 fumbles
Jackson has 1 return for 27 yards (27 avg), long of 27 and 0 fumbles

Obviously Jackson's average will go down. But come on, he nearly broke it open on his first return of the year. Parrish has done NOTHING with his chances. In fact, didn't he lose like 20 yards on one return? He's worthless right now.

They have produced some of the best nfl players over the past 20 years

10-19-2009, 10:03 AM

I would think it hard to trade Parrish because he isn't worth his contract. His return ability will intrigue someone, but he isn't worth the contract the Bills gave him. That hurts his value, IMO.

If i'm jauron i'm thinking along the lines of getting another player, not a draft pick? Why? a draft pick won't help you keep your job going into next season. If i'm jauron I'd try to get a servicable tight end from somebody's roster who can help the passing game. Say Denver for Tony Scheffler? Maybe Mcdaniels can come up with something for the turd.

Good riddance.

He does suck. I heard a stat that in the last 2 seasons he leads the league in fair catches on punts. This season he cost us 3 points late in the first half in a tie game vs. the Saints and then vs. the Browns he cost us the game and on that punt return (i think 3rd quarter) he lost us like 20 yards. The guy is a joke. We really got to fool a team to pick him up on trade. I doubt anyone trades for him, and when nobody does, i hope we just cut him.

Buddo

10-19-2009, 11:13 AM

While there have undoubtedly been times when Parrish has been 'electric', the last couple of seasons haven't been so. As previously stated, he simply is unable to do anything other than return kicks/punts for the Bills, and he hasn't been doing that all that well.
Should he go somewhere else and be productive as a WR, then the fault will have been with the Bills Offensive coordinators. As things stand, we have other guys, namely Hardy and Johnson, who are much more use to the Bills , certainly in the future, and in Johnson's case, likely also the now.

Lynch and Evans are probowlers on any team. You cannot compare their stats to players on a team with a real coach, different system and different players around them. Sorry bro you are wrong on those 2
And JP Losman would have been great somewhere else. :crazy:

The way they are playing they are not Pro-bowlers.

I do believe Evans has never made the pro-bowl and Lynch only made it because everyone else was hurt.

Trade value for a guy who isn't a very good WR and makes 4 million a year isn't going be very high, if at all.

I don't know of any team that would take on a 4 million dollar punt return specialist. Seeing that's all Roscoe is.

we already know it won't be Owens. i started a thread saying the Ravens inquired about him and the Bills said no. (courtesy of Jay Glazer) they're more worried about putting people in the stands rather than making an attempt to make this team better in the future.

Or they are not ready to give up on the season. :idunno:

However unlikely, a turn-around is not impossible.

It would be kind of like punting when you are down by 10 with 3 minutes to go.

I thought Jauron moves were disliked around here.
