cantankerous Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Watching him block the past few weeks...he's awesome for a WR. He sustains his blocks and actually drives opponents backwards. I'm glad he's getting playing time because he has totally earned it. That touchdown he had on Sunday was awesome, he was determined to find the end zone and he did. He can run reverses, double reverses, return kickoffs, and like I said his blocking ability has been great. He also made a really great grab near the sideline where he went up high to make the grab and took a big hit as well. Kudos to you, Donald Jones.

Loved him even in preseason. however, I do miss Parrish with his speed and third down presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 He's 6' 214# with 4.46 speed and a 41" vertical. Seems to have decent hands. Could be a major find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'm also lovin' me some Donald Jones right now. The guy's a gamer. Contributes on offense, contributes on special teams, and appears to have loads of potential. Entering the season, who would have imagined that our greatest team strength would be wide receiver?? With Easley coming back next season, we are going to have incredible depth at this position. This brings me to and interesting point, but first, please allow me to preface this comment. I am DEFINITELY not advocating for the team to attempt to trade Lee Evans during the offseason. I am curious, however, what will happen if Chan and Buddy get some inquiries from other teams regarding Evans' availability. I am wondering the same thing about our depth in the secondary, and the potential expendability of Terrence McGee. Hmmmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets add Jones to the list of receivers on the roster who make a larger impact than Lee Evans. And don't give me that he takes away the coverage from the other receivers junk--I believe that if defenses begin to roll coverage towards Stevie Johnson more often, Johnson will still end up with more catches in a game than Evans. Like Gailey said, Johnson has the ability to find a way to get open--its time for Evans to show us a little bit of that, IMO. Evans should be flourishing in Chan Gailey's offensive system just like every other receiver on the roster is flourishing. I'm not suggesting the Bills get rid of Evans, I just want to see him produce at the level he should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHFO Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 The Bills thought he was one of the three best blocking WR's in the draft.

And he was taken 22nd (Bulaga was 23rd and Tebow 24th). It makes sense, considering what the Bills said about Tebow and given the facts that Thomas is from Georgia Tech and the Bills had a need at WR. Looking back, it worked out better not getting him.

timba Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I was not a fan of Jones making the roster over Chad Jackson at the start of the season, but his play continues to prove me wrong. I like what he does on the field when he's given an opportunity. He seems to be making the most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 He also lays people out on special teams.. I rewatched the game, Coleman was virtually on every single ST tackle, I was impressed. Corto, Jones and McIntyre are great on STs. I remember back in pre-season games, Jones, Roosvelt and Nelson were big contributors for Joique Bell's numbers. You could see the guy's hunger over Chad Jackson or James Hardy. Hard work pays off with this coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernMan Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 2nd round pick 2008 - Two years - Ten Receptions - Two Touchdowns - Currently a free agent. Another front office phuk-up Got me thinking on that one. I don't know what Hardy's salary was, but as a high 2nd rounder, I gotta think at least 3 million each year, right? 10 receptions at that salary comes out to $600,000 per catch. So, for the average shmoe making $50k per year, it would take him 12 years to equal the earnings from a single James Hardy reception. That's 12 years of stress from a-hole clients, a-hole co-workers, a-hole bosses, thousands of semi coherent emails, half of which are nothing more than cya CC emails, BS phone calls, traffic jams, crappy hotels, diversity seminars, etc. 12 friggin years of those headaches for the same $$ Hardy earned from catching a single pass. There is no god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
