merlin Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 There are 2 articles about yesterday's game (linked on TBD), I think both from the Buffalo News, that differ in pointing out which special teams player was the one called from the illegal block that caused one of Roscoe's 30+ yard punt returns to get called back. Was it Whitner or Ellison? Just curious. The article that mentioned Whitner said it was a pretty questionable call. That's why I wondered if maybe it wasn't even his block that was called. In any case, glad it didn't wind up costing the Bills in the end. GO BILLS!
Coach Tuesday Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Was Corto, and was definitely illegal. And unnecessary, as the guy being blocked wouldn't have made the tackle. Corto also had a chance to grab the onside kick. Not his best performance yesterday...
BarkLessWagMore Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Actually, it was Ellison (confirmed by the play-by-play at nfl.com). Corto's penalty was for a late hit on a Buffalo punt later in the game.
lets_go_bills Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Corto's penalty was on a different play. And it was off-set by a Jags penalty on the same play. I'm not sure who it was on, but it wasn't Corto.
