YoloinOhio Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 https://buffalowdown.com/2018/08/14/buffalo-bills-zay-joness-road-redemption/ The stage is certainly set for Zay Jones to have a rebound and breakout season in 2018. He is in a new offense that certainly appears to be more modern in nature and should better utilize his skillset. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is all about creating and using mismatches to make his offense hum. That in and of itself should help the second-year wideout. He will also most likely be a featured wide receiver in the Bills offense. This should create plenty of opportunities for him to catch passes and prove that his 2017 season was a fluke. Based on his college numbers at East Carolina you can certainly see that he has the talent to succeed. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 McDermott in his morning press conference said he's seen a more serious and focused Zay this year. Not that he wasn't last year but showing more this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVilanch Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I am just glad I grew up in a time where social media wasn't a thing. Sure Zay's antics were on the extreme side but I am very glad none of the stupid **** I did in the military in my early twenties ever got caught on video. I hope he can bounce back and be a solid contributor to the team this year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 It’s hard to believe that all of WNY wouldn’t be rooting for this kid to turn it around and have a break out season. Come on Zay! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) I am not going to get too excited. So they claim he is catching everything, just like he did in college but he is also catching under non-contact. Until he catches everything under contact it doesn't mean anything to me. He really hasn't proven he can be a reliable receiver in the NFL when the hits are coming. Also I think if he can remain healthy Kelvin Benjamin is going to be the "featured" WR.

ddaryl Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The whole road to redemption thing is over the top.. If he screwed the pooch for multiple seasons then we talk road to redemption.. I chalk last year to being a rookie and a young man going through the college of hard knocks. I expect him to improve a bunch this year..... I figure he learned a few very solid lessons early on and that might be the best thing that could of happened to him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article said Zay would likely be a featured WR, not the featured WR. Some teams actually have two good receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great in Tier II level college ball and was a high pick, ignoring that he is nothing special.

YoloinOhio Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 If he can play like he has in camp... it’s simply huge. They invested a 2nd round in him. They could have 2 1st rd picks and a 2nd rd pick out there at WR ... let’s see how they do with a new QB and offense. Might not be as bad as we think at WR. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of WR's struggle their rookie years even ones drafted higher than Zay....... The offseason thing I chalk up to be young dumb and full of cum. We all walked that walk at one time. Let bygones be bygones and see how he does in his sophomore year. I'm hopeful.. I think he learned some tough lessons and will be better for it myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingOnYouboty Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Loved seeing him cheer on his teammates during the first pre-season game. He was hooting and hollering. I think he comes good if he stays healthy. He was just about to break out last year then got injured in the TNF game v the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on record predicting good things for Zay. If Coleman can get it together, then suddenly there are those three (including KB) plus Kerley and Ray-Ray. Not shabby at all.

Yeah, RoyBatty, he hasn't taken a single handoff, and the damn coaches keep splitting Jones out wide, almost like he's a wide receiver, or something ?

Juice_32 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) I'm a Zay homer, I'll admit it. I've been fortunate to know him for several years. He is dialed in, we've got our number 2. And for all the headcase jokes, he isn't, I don't expect anyone to believe me, but he isn't. He's one of the finest human beings I know.
