beggar13 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 As far as last season went, it could not have been more disheartening for anyone other than Roscoe Parrish. I think that's the thing I love about Gailey most, the fact that he recognizes talent and rewards the player with that talent who applies himself. I am so excited to see Roscoe finally being used in this offense. After the way the coaches treated him last season, I would have sworn they caught Roscoe stealing from their wallets and sleeping with their daughters. I really hope he shines this year. I for one will be wearing his jersey on opening day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I'm also happy for him, the guy plays with heart, as do alot of guys on this team..I too hope Gailey can work some magic on this team...!

T master Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It was disheartening to see the former coaching staff not pay attention to the talent that was sitting right in front of them, or seeing it and just not knowing how to use it. I guess that is why some Head coaches have success & some don't . But i am with you i always thought that Roscoe reminded me & could be a lot like one Steve Smith in Carolina if given the chance and i hope he will show us all just how talented he is !!

Cugalabanza Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Yup, it's good to see Roscoe doing well. I'm also excited for Stupar, who seems to have worked himself into the #1 TE spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Don't you just wish you knew the real story behind what the real story was on why Parish didn't play..! I know I do..! I agree I'm also happy for him, the guy plays with heart, as do alot of guys on this team..I too hope Gailey can work some magic on this team...! I think the real problem was flat out incompetence from the offensive braintrust. They had a weapon and didn't bother to find ways to use it. Lack of a good OL and QB played a part, I'm sure. But those limitations put a higher value on creativity. There has been none of that for the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggins Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Yeah not having Roscoe play was nonsensical; almost as nonsensical as having Fred Jackson returning kicks. So stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalvinoHernandez Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I think Parrish and Spiller are going to at least make this season more exciting to watch even if the wins dont pile up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one will be wearing his jersey on opening day! Stop with the "+". It's irritating. I read all the threads and don't need some pollyanna symbol to protect my eyes from negativity. This is the last time I will open anything with a "+" or "-"! If anybody else thinks this is childish speak up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poznasty51 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I don't feel bad for Roscoe. I think there is a few reasons he sat the bench, the main one being his attitude. I am happy for him now though since he has been working hard and trying to be a good receiver. His talent was never questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he want's to put + and - let him. To tell the truth, I didn't even notice it was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been none of that for the past few years. I think its a combo of that and the fact Roscoe was reponsible for some bonehead plays last year that cost us at least the browns game and DJ felt his seat get warmer and Freddy was playing awesome...he had to find a way to get him the ball...returning kicks was one way and that took roscoe out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roscoe didn't do himself any favors by whining about his role/asking for a trade/etc and then making a couple of what you correctly called "boneheaded plays". I'm talking about far more than that. Roscoe hasn't been used properly in the offense for years. Neither was Josh Reed. For example, this preseason I have seen more quick slants than the past three years combined.

Jauron seemed intent on over simplifying the offense and attempt to bang square pegs in round holes. The mark of a good coach, IMO, is one who maximizes what he has to work with and brings out the best in those players. Not one of Jauron's strengths. Hopefully, it will be one of Gailey's.

ganesh Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Nelson. I think this guy has worked very hard through the off season and training camp hoping for a long shot to make the team and he has done it really well. I appreciate the folks who earn their way through the long tough path rather than be given the keys to the corvette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
