Niagara 66 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 When Roscoe is back deep to return punts, the whole stadium goes "Cool, they're punting" and sits up a bit on the edge of their seats and pays attention. (Or, if you're like me, stands up and screams "ROSCOE!!!") You know something spectacular is about to occur. I'm to the point I'm actually disappointed when he gets tackled. The only other time I remember a player routinely having that kind of effect on the crowd was number 11 in the Aud. Whenever Gilbert picked up the puck behind his own net, everyone held their breath.... This kid is a lot of fun to watch, I'm glad he's a Bill. ROSCOE!!!
scribo Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Roscoe is a great returner. His ability have to be accounted for by opposing teams. His presence changes gameplans, causing punters to send balls out of bounds rather than trying to pin us deep, forcing offenses to go for it on 4th down rather than going for field position. I also get excited anytime Parrish goes back for a punt. I feel the same way when a team is dumb enough to send a kickoff to McGee. We have one scary return game.
Jerry Jabber Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 With Parrish & McGee playing so well on returns, will McKelvin even get a chance to field a return this year? My guess would be only if we're blowing out teams.

My guess would be only if we're blowing out teams. Give him time...besides, McGee is our starting corner and will need breaks from the return game as the season progresses.
Rubes Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I would actually expect McKelvin to get some chances this week, maybe in the second half. With the heat down in Florida, I imagine they would want McGee to stay as ready as possible.

He called security.. JK. What a talent!!
LongLiveRalph Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Shall we leave Scott Norwood and Drew Bledsoe out of the #11 in Buffalo thread???

OJ did the same thing during his heyday as well. EVERY time OJ touched the ball you just had a feeling he was going to do something special with it. GO BILLS!!!

LabattBlue Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Shall we leave Scott Norwood and Drew Bledsoe out of the #11 in Buffalo thread??? ...but include Bob McAdoo!
BuffaloSteph Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I have always held a special place in my heart for Roscoe.... I love that guy. I do get excited when he is out on the field, because when he has runs like he did on Sunday, it is just so exciting!! I think my next jersey will be an 11.
