OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 ...too much potential not to get it right............... Zay Jones is struggling in his rookie season, but the Bills WR remains confident Sal Maiorana, @salmaiorana Published 10:40 a.m. ET Oct. 5, 2017 | Updated 5:06 p.m. ET Oct. 5, 2017 ORCHARD PARK – Zay Jones grew up in Texas football country, born into a football family with a father who not only played for the Dallas Cowboys, but who has now raised two sons who are also playing in the NFL, with perhaps another on the way in a couple years. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2017/10/05/buffalo-bills-zay-jones-rookie-wide-receiver-struggling-cincinnati-bengals/735045001/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watkins90 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Good read. Jones will figure it out. Those 399 catches can be deceiving because he wasn't playing against top-level talent like he is in the NFL. Takes some time to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes some time to adjust. ....certainly true, but there are some clubs in the AAC with talent.....NO WAY am I comparing the two,but look at Jerry Rice's collegiate stats and the level of competition he faced at Mississippi Valley State....not to mention a combine 4.73 forty time....and he ends up as WR GOAT.......still, 160 single season catches is pretty damn impressive.....kid needs to "trust the process".........

I think he might just be pressing too hard...each drop magnifies the next attempted catch and he is trying too hard instead of just playing football. He is in his own head right now.

JerseyBills Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 He had a nice catch on that bullet by Taylor, I think there's definitely legit reasons to remain optimistic with Zay , and Taylor gaining more chemistry. He is getting open,has just had unfortunate things happen, slowing up on route, tripping over feet, I'm confident these big plays that Taylor and Zay are missing on will be connecting as season progresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Jerry Rice dropped a bunch of balls his first year. He wrote about it in his book. Someone buy it and send it to Zay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I would be more concerned if he has been invisible. Unfortunately, he is dropping the ball. Once Taylor and him get on the same page I really think Zay blows up. He is getting open and getting separation which is usually the hardest thing for a rookie to do. This week would be the time to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I would be more concerned if he has been invisible. Absolutely this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
