what do you think about roscoe parrish?

is he worth a trade or do you feel confident in our rookies going into training camp?

We need to keep our picks

and if you think about it, if we were to sign him we would have to cut one of our rookies.
Also we only have 6 picks next year so we need to keep or get as many as we can. However I would be more than willing to part ways with a another player like Northcutt. Maybe someone like Tony Pashos, he’s a player that fits in with the Bills and they are in need of an OT/veteran OL.

Roscoe

I’m a big fan of what he can do, but we already have a player with potentially that same slash ability… Mike Thomas.

I agree that

Mike Thomas is a similar player, but Parrish would be the best punt returner on the team and he has more experience than our rookies. If you think about it, no one has more than 16 catches except for Torry Holt.

Special Teams

I guess ole ’Spoon is going to handle punts this year. If he has gotten any stronger(which I imagine he has, with a full year in an NFL conditioning system) and maintained that speed, he could be a nice surprise this year returning punts. Dennis was always consistent, but he never really got any more than 10 yards.

Yeah Spoony

actually gained like 10 lbs, and supposedly he hasn’t lost any speed. I wouldn’t be sad to see Spoon returning punts, in fact I get excited every time he’s back there. But…, Parrish would be an upgrade none-the-less.

Listenign to Jags This Week

… it seems that Britton is struggling a bit, or at least at this stage Pashos looks better than him. I’d be reluctant to trade Pashos until Britton has had a chance to learna bit more.

I expect this to be the case

either way though we could just put Tra at LT and Monroe at RT until Britton gets caught up. And as long as Britton can’t be physical, which is the case in shorts, he will struggle against speed guys like Groves, Hayward, and Harvey.

Yep

We have to remember this is just a passing camp(OTAs). When the pads go on, Britton will shine because physicality is his game.
