Jones is a nice feel-good story, but let's get real, he's not a starting WR in the NFL, and probably never will be. Easley probably won't be ready for prime time this year, but at least he has the size, strength, and speed to be a legit starter down the road. I hope he puts it together.

Â How do you arrive at this conclusion? Why isn't Jones a starting WR in the NFL? He has catches and has scored in games that actually count. BTW, he's 6' over two hundred pounds and ran a 4.46 at the combine. If you're going by physical "stats" which is seems you are, they aren't that different.

And side by side the difference seems even bigger, even though Jones has decent size. Easley is huge. Would you call a WR who is 5'10" 191 not that different from Jones? Because those are the same 2" and 17 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I arrived at that conclusion by watching Jones play. He's welcome to prove me wrong, but I doubt he will. And physically, they're not particularly close. If you dig up that WR picture from Camp Fitz during the lockout, you can see how much bigger Easley is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) actually jones looked very good on the road against the dolphins last year and he has been very consistant throughout all of camp so far this season. Don't get me wrong, i like both jones AND easley, but Big E has had more drops than catches this preseason so let's not annoint him the next eric moulds just yet....jones was given the #2 wr spot in camp by chan for a reason...i think he knows a bit more about wr talent than anyone on this board does. bottom line, I love the youth and desire that all of our wr's are brining to the table this season. go bills!

Â not to split hairs either, but it looks like Easley is listed as 6' 3".on at least one site. Â Bottom line: maybe he is better than James Hardy who was once touted as the big red zone target the Bills were missing and also might potentially take some heat off of Johnson.

John from Riverside Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Actually......David Nelson is taller but that is about it.....as far as body mass goes.....Easley is better biult and faster..... Â We really are splitting hairs here.....there is reason why Chan felt comfortable enough to let Lee go...he wants to get all these guys on the field to give fits more crossing route targets......big targets that are fast and run good routes....Fitz throws with an expectation of where a receiver is going to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Nice play. Fitz was hot. Our starting O dominating the jags starting D feels good. Our starting D held down their starting O too. Jags won twice as many games as we did last year. So, a good outing. It's going to be a fun start to the season. Â go BILLS !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBD Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 jones was given the #2 wr spot in camp by chan for a reason...i think he knows a bit more about wr talent than anyone on this board does. I would argue that Jones was given the #2 spot by default, and Evans was traded with Easley's development in mind. Right now he seems like the guy who will make a bunch of plays, but aggrivate you with drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Easley looked good and Jones looks pretty good. Are they good enough to replace Evans? Bring on the regular season and we will find out. so fa I'm pretty impressed. I'm also getting more and more excited about Fitz. If we can manage to improve the offensive line I've got some hope for us doing pretty well this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I certainly hope they can carry this over into the season. Also against the Jaguars. Maybe James Hardy's first game, or one of them. Maybe the first game of the season. Trent lofted a high pass in the corner of the endzone over the DB. Hardy jumped up and made the catch for the game winner. It worked so well that Jauron quickly pocketed it and never called it again.

Billsrhody Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I know it's preseason and all but I for one am excited about our WR group. I really don't think we'll miss Lee all that much because you can see the young talent on the roster starting to perform already. Â Here's to hoping Easley can transition to a guy with great hands and instincts.. that's all that's keeping him from being a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
