All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

Re: Can Roscoe be our Welker?

I think its a more valid question than some are willing to entertain. Parrish looked really good against the Bengals, but its pre-season. Gailey seems to know how to utilize him but only time will tell if Parrish will step up to the plate.

Rocket Ismail's best season was with Chan in Dallas. 80 catches 1000+ yards. He is an inch taller and 10 lbs heavier than Roscoe.

Maybe Chan plans on using Roscoe a little more than we think.

Re: Can Roscoe be our Welker?

i just don't know if roscoe can deal with the punishment. in 2008, they used him in the four wins, and then he was injured.

maybe the new bulk that people observed will go a long way to keeping him on the field.

Welker before last year went across the most dangerous parts of the field, took some of the worst hits, and was available every game for 3 catches and 50+ yards and a TD.

I think that's a bit much for roscoe, but here's to dreaming.

Re: Can Roscoe be our Welker?

Statistically, IMHO, Parrish can be no where near Welker performance. Welker catches 100 passes in his sleep, and is target a gizzillion times a game. Parrish will have a great season if he catches 50 passes, and is targeted about 4-5 times/game. His role, might be the same, but I highly doubt Parrish can fullfill the same role that Welker can.

Re: Can Roscoe be our Welker?

At least Gailey is running plays that utilize Roscoe's talents. That's more than Jauron ever did.

Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

I think we'll find out why Jauron never used Roscoe: he sucks.

I don't blame Gailey for trying to make the most of the guys he has. There is good reason to attempt to get Roscoe involved. I just don't see Roscoe rising to the challenge.

I don't think Parrish will ever be a Welker or a Harvin, but I think he could be a shifty little part-time slot receiver who will break a big play now and then.

If Edwards chooses to checkdown, i would hope its to Roscoe on a cross pattern.
