Tipster19 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Dial up Tampa for CB Alan Zemaitis. They have a need for Wr and just like us, they'll be creating flexibility for themselves by addressing one of their needs before the draft. Zemaitis is a local boy for us and Roscoe is Florida homegrown. It's best to deal from your strength and the WR position is more than adequate for us. Even if the principle players are inaccurate, the concept of this would eliminate us having to be forced into picking another position of need early in the draft. The more needs that we can fill before the draft, the more that it will allow us to take the best player available in the draft, reguardless of position. http://www.buccaneers.com/news/newsdetail.aspx?newsid=5116 http://www.buccaneers.com/news/newsdetail.aspx?newsid=5126 http://www.buccaneers.com/news/newsdetail.aspx?newsid=5221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that we would have drafted him last year. Get 'er done Marv!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Outside of evans big play capability at the wr position is nill. Price no longer has the deep speed he once had. Reed is a posession type. Sam Aiken is slower then a one legged man in an ass kicking contest and I think is a free agent anyway. Davis is also a free agent. Not to mention roscoe returns punts. Theres's some good corners we could get via the draft so why trade away a good st's player and a guy who has big play capability to fill out depth?

Tipster19 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Well, I did state that this scenario was really more about concept than specifics. I do agree that Roscoe does give us big play capabilities but I don't really believe that he's a #2 WR. Do we really have the luxury of keeping a player who is to be used more as a specialist when we could stand to have a more prominent player filling a primary need? I think the Bills do have some ideas for him and may not be willing to part with him at this point. I'm not too crazy about his size and feel that if the Bills targeted someone that they really liked for a mid-late rd pick at the WR spot, then yes, I believe that Parrish could be expendable for the right cause or need.

clumping platelets Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 This isn't a bad idea..........Zemaitis is a great fit for the cover 2 (off shoot of the Tampa 2).......he can play CB and FS, contribute on ST....... Bills can then look to the draft for a legitimate #2 WR....... we would then need to find a PR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clumping platelets Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I believe he has.........might as well give him a reason to be on the roster LOL Some WRs I like in rd 3 or 4: Paul Williams - Fresno St Rhema McKnight - Notre Dame David Clowney - Va Tech Jason Hill - Wash St Jacoby Jones - Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was UCFs only real threat this past year, with Moffett throwing him the ball (who let me say might have the worse throwing motion ever) he still had over 1000 yards recieving.

MattM Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 another player I really like in the 4th, maybe the 6th is Mike Walker out of UCF, at 6'2" 208, his only knock was his speed, but then at the combines he ran a 4.35 40.

Zemaitis is a Rochester guy (native) as well, but didn't he pretty much ride the pine last year in Tampa--I thought I read about him having trouble even getting activated for games. If that's the case, no way you trade an emerging playmaker for him..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynthered Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 It's also becoming more obvious the player Tampa Bay would consider moving up for is Georgia Tech receiver Calvin Johnson. http://www.sptimes.com/2007/03/29/Bucs/Gru..._at_move_.shtml Gruden doesn't like midget receivers.

H2o Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I think Roscoe is our perfect fit at the Slot WR position. Remember the game against Jacksonville last year? I think he proved his worth to the team that game. Zemaitiis would be a quality addition, but I would like it if the Bills would keep Parrish. I don't think I would make this move. We will still probably be able to get Eric Wright, CB from UNLV, with our second round pick. He's a good cover CB with speed. Hopefully our 1st round pick will be Patrick Willis. Then with our first 3rd rounder we should take Chris Henry (RB out of Arizona). If Willis off the board, I think we go Marshawn Lynch and will pick up a CB even later in the draft because we would address the LB spot with a 2nd round selection taking David Harris (ILB from Michigan). Harris is a big, strong kid that I think would look good in the middle of the Bills defense for years to come. Then in the 3rd round we could go with Josh Wilson out of Maryland or David Irons out of Auburn with out first 3rd. All in all, we really have ALOT of options this year.

Billsjunkie Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Anything that involves offing Roscoe is a terrible idea. I agree. Roscoe is an exciting player that made some big plays for us last year. To trade him for a cornerback that is just as much an unknown as Youbody is crazy. Roscoe taking that slant in the Jets game is all you have to think about. Get the ball in his hands and let him go. That play was a thing of beauty. I still don't see why people want Chris Henry. He is a workout warrior!!! That is all. He is not a good runningback. People stop looking at these combine numbers and listening to the media and draft guides. Can a person play football on the field? Yes or no? According to Arizona fans that I have talked to Chris Henry will not be a good back in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Once again this scenario is more about concept than specific. Trading a player for another player of need will give us more flexibility in the draft, that's really the point that I'm trying to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsjunkie Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 What is peoples beef with Reed? The Reed of last year was the Reed of his rookie year. He played very very strong and came up with some huge 3rd down receptions. Do people even watch the team? What do they want there slot receiver to do? Catch 80 balls and have a 1,000 yards? When Reed was called upon to make a big catch last year he did. He also is our best blocking wideout. I don't understand the hatred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Reed was called upon to make a big catch last year he did. He also is our best blocking wideout. I don't understand the hatred. 1. No - Only ESPN recaps, and stats 2. Yes - If they play for the Bills, they must be the best in the league, otherwise they are worthless and should be run out of town Seriously, why do we have to off Roscoe? would that remove all the Cap hits he would face? we could always trade or release him, or even force him to retire, but OFF him? A little harsh, But I guess if it has to happen, might as wel give Tony in Jersey a call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
