Jeffery Lester Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Roscoe has proven himself very valuable to the Bills as a punt returner. No one can question that. For a small NFL player he is tough, big heart. What Roscoe does not do though is break tackles. This is what has limited him offensively for Buffalo. He is simply outmuscled. He has never overcome this with his speed on a consistent basis. He seems to be standing still and catching the ball with his body quite often. Which in turn negates his strengths offensively. I view Roscoe as a valuable commodity. If he makes your team better keep him. I do not want Leodis returning kicks, punts and starting. Kid will wear out. Roscoe and a 3rd to Jac for J. Henderson would be a good deal though. It would bennefit both teams. Probably make both players happy also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that teams like Pittsburgh who were rumored to be after him before the draft did not pull the trigger (if the asking price was higher) is indicative of how much they were desperate to get Roscoe. My bet is Roscoe has suck it up and play here as a punt returner. He is definitely not a Wes Welker kind of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it would be a dream come true if we get John Henderson.... but i am pretty sure Henderson will stay in Jax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 He's the league's best punt returner. That goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Why get rid of him? Leodis is a fulltime CB now he doesn't need the pounding he will take. Who else to do it Freddie Jackson maybe? Roscoe misses alot of OTA's. I know they aren't mandatory but if he really wants to be a receiver he needs to show up and prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
