BuffaloBill Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Roscoe is just too small to return kicks effectively. I'll say it again, he is an overpaid punt returner.
SACKMARINO Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Roscoe is just too small to return kicks effectively. I'll say it again, he is an overpaid punt returner. seriously. trade him for a draft pick. any pick!
cantankerous Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Today I saw Trent call a play at the LOS and Roscoe ran back and forth about 3x...he had no idea what was going on. The guy just can't get it done. His fumble on the PR was fu-king pathetic.
BuffaloBill Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 seriously. trade him for a draft pick. any pick! My post was not suggestive of a trade as they seem not to be able to get anything for him. Rather I was simply pointing out something I have said on this board for a long time - Roscoe is a punt return specialist and that is all. The Bills have deluded themselves into believing the guy can contribute more. He is overpaid and my guess is that he gets axed in the offseason.
outsidethebox Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Roscoe is just too small to return kicks effectively. I'll say it again, he is an overpaid punt returner. If he was a horse, they would have taken him out back and shot him.
bizell Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 several people (i believe myself included, if i didn't post it I was sure thinking of it) pointed out in another thread that returning punts and kicks are two different beasts. roscoe's ability to return punts doesn't translate into him being a good kick returner.
WVUFootball29 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I've said the same thing a few times over the years as well. Roscoe looked completely lost yesterday on offense and after that fumble on the punt return, tried too hard to redeem himself resulting in more poor field position for the Bills.
Jerry Jabber Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Since McKelvin left the game with an injury, why didn't McGee start taking kickoff returns again?
outsidethebox Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Since McKelvin left the game with an injury, why didn't McGee start taking kickoff returns again? Great question. The only thing I can think of is maybe he was hurting?
BuffaloBill Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 Great question. The only thing I can think of is maybe he was hurting? Lankster looked pretty good in the preseason. I wonder if he is an option for returns.
outsidethebox Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Lankster looked pretty good in the preseason. I wonder if he is an option for returns. I tell ya, he can't be any worse!
cåblelady Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Since McKelvin left the game with an injury, why didn't McGee start taking kickoff returns again? Exactly...............
The Tomcat Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I tell ya, he can't be any worse! I'm not too high on Roscoe right now either but yes, it CAN get worse...MUCH WORSE. Did you see the Tennesee game??
dr.fishopolis Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Since McKelvin left the game with an injury, why didn't McGee start taking kickoff returns again? I'm guessing b/c he's been hurt for weeks, and was on the field the entire game against the best passing offense in football.
WVUFootball29 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Since McKelvin left the game with an injury, why didn't McGee start taking kickoff returns again? Probably because they don't need both their starting CBs hurt right now. Lankster did return punts in college and he reminds me a lot of Roscoe and I don't mean that in a good way. I remember a game where he caught not 1, but 2 punts with his facemask.
outsidethebox Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I'm not too high on Roscoe right now either but yes, it CAN get worse...MUCH WORSE. Did you see the Tennesee game?? Yeah I saw that. Two rookies returning punts and kickoffs. A veteran like Parrish should know haw to protect the football. Even after the fumble, parrish was still holding the ball with very little regard to losing it.
