John from Riverside Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Parrish is a big reason why this offense would convert a lot of 3rd downs and moved up and down the field last year..... Blame ao horrid defense for our bad record.
Dorkington Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Parrish was the reason we lost so many games last year? Jesus, learn something new every thread.
1B4IDie Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Just the answer I expected--complete with emoticons. You say he's a perfect fit for "Chan's offense". Maybe, yet the Bills offense didn't really miss a beat without him, so it's hard to make the argument he is so integral to the offense he could never be cut. He had 17 first downs (of the 143 the team had in total in his 8 games). Without him, there was a dropoff in total 1st downs, but no significant change in passing yards or points scored. Like usual, you just make stuff up. A perfect fit does not mean integral. Edited August 31, 2011 by Why So Serious?

RealityCheck Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Roscoe Parrish is a decent 4th receiver. I like the guy and hope he finds a place on this team, but I no longer expect him to develop into a star. I mean, he's going into his SEVENTH SEASON in the league. If he was going to truly break out, he'd have done so by now. I mean, look at Johnson - he made the most of his chances and broke out in a big way. That doesn't mean I want him cut, that just means I only want to see him in 4-wide and maybe some 3-wide sets. If we were talking about Roscoe not emerging as a star after seven years while playing on a perennial contender then I would agree. However, looking at the last 7 years of the Bills as a hole (not whole, because I do mean hole), I am not surprised that any player's progress was severely handicapped. People refer to Stevie as having a breakout season last year. Well I hate to break it to you but, that could have happened much sooner. I distinctly recall being at the Ralph for a night game a few years back watching them play the Browns. Stevie was working ou of the slot quite a bit and he found the soft spot in the zone every time with great routes and separation. Of course, everyone at that game can tell you that Trent was doing what he does worst. Any coordinator that could not see then what a great route runner he was is a joke, and this is before TO was even on the team.
Defend Greece Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I would love to see Stevie and Easley on the outside with Roscoe in the slot. That could be a dangerous set-up. Yeah they have a combined average of 12 catches a year!!!
Rockinon Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I would love to see Stevie and Easley on the outside with Roscoe in the slot. That could be a dangerous set-up. And Chandler, Jackson and Spiller sneaking out to catch a few too.
miserable_fan Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 And Chandler, Jackson and Spiller sneaking out to catch a few too. Definitely. I think the Spiller screen will be a popular play this year
Delete This Account Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 That reminds me, I meant to post Gailey's Monday interview: http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Chan-Gailey-Monday-Update/0b36204a-30ee-4bfd-a434-31e6a52c3b81. Upon hearing Chan speak (talks about him near the end), I'm convinced that Roscoe is very much in his plans. funny, me, too. and i never realize this was a question. jw
