d_wag Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Rookie wide receiver Roscoe Parrish may finally make his regular-season debut on Sunday in Oakland. Mularkey thought about activating Parrish for the Jets game, but decided it was best to wait another week. Parrish has been out since breaking his wrist in training camp. "I think we had higher hopes earlier in the week," Mularkey said of Parrish's availability agaisnt the Jets. "But then I really started thinking that this is the first time he's caught passes and punts in really eight weeks. We haven't tested him being hit, we haven't tested him if he falls on the ground. I just felt let's wait a week and see if next week is a better week and maybe test some of those other things out." http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20051...?tbd1054105.asp i'm more excited to see him on punt returns then anything else..... question -- does reed, aiken, or smith take a seat?

BRH Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 One wonders if it might not be better to save him for the NE game rather than give Belichick a whole game film of Roscoe to study. Alternatively it might be good to get him in there against Oakland just for a few plays to get him acclimated, but really take the wraps off him in two weeks.

Frez Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 What should we expect from Roscoe? Hell, Josh Reed is doing a great job this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I was hoping to see him last weekend, but since the Bills won, it doesn't matter. If they can beat Oakland without him, so much the better since it gives him another week to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeRay Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I still stands by me prognostification that it will be wk. 8 that Roscoe will be plugged in. If he's active at Oakland, I can't imagine him getting on the field other than a punt return. Why? Well, I have a difficult time believeing "Mr Secret", aka Mularkey, would expose Roscoe to video tape a game prior to playing Mr. Belechick and allowing him to see Roscoe in any formation that could or would give Belechick a tip. We've won 2 in a row sans Roscoe and we're playing a pretty bad team, likely to be without it's best player. So, this Bills fan sees no rhyme, reason, or advantage in playing Roscoe this week... unless they want to expose Roscoe to the typical Raiduh thuggery and risk injury and/or retaliation penalties.

If he's ready, play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I'm really looking forward to seeing him, too. But I want him to be 100 percent ready before he hits the field. Reed seems to finally be coming around, so I don't see any need to rush Roscoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure other teams have seen a slot receiver before. Unless they plan to doll up Roscoe in pink tights and a tutu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
