MLJ did a solid job and I think was starting to 'buy into the team' and provide some decent reporting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I enjoyed the way he reported on the team best of luck to him going forward 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yea was a huge upgrade on Rodak. I think in the zoom only pressers of 2020 he was regularly the guy that stood out with the thoughtful question. Unfortunately at ESPN you don't get the chance to develop your ideas in your writing in a lot of depth so I hope if he is staying in the business he is going somewhere where they will allow him a better platform to do that. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 a good, positive, dude. beyond the football jock talk which he did well, he embraced the 716, it was mutually beneficial and he will be missed, hard for someone to come in just before the opener and hit the ground running....best to marcel and thanks for feeding us barnyard animals and being one of us... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 He did a nice job. I was never a Rodak fan, but I think Marcel Louis-Jacques got a much better deal during his time here. It’s more enjoyable to cover a relevant franchise. Any reporter during the drought years was going to incur the wrath of fans, anytime they wrote the truth. There were a lot of Bills fans who didn’t want to hear the truth during those dark years. Give that job to a Pats fan, and you’ve got a recipe for failure. I will say that Louis-Jacques was far more engaged and a more detailed writer than Rodak. He was a huge step up, but I think we’re likely to appreciate our reporters if we keep winning regardless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 He loved covering the Bills but in the end he waved the white flag and surrendered to a different job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigdaddyinOrlando Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Selfishly it’s a shame to hear, I liked his work and he really seemed to enjoy his time here in and around the community. However I’m happy for him if he finds something more to his heart to do. Either way just hoping it’s another solid hire to replace him and not a step back to the likes of Rodak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
