PolishPrince Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) I just wanted to give a shoutout to Zay Jones. Lost in all this Allen talk and KB Clay talk is Zay Jones. He has really stepped up his game running routes, blocking, his hands have been fantastic and unlike K-Biscuit and Clay, he seems to be working his tail off. considering there were posts calling him the “biggest bust in history,” the issues in the off-season, and coming off a surgery, he has really made great progress. Kudos Zay! PS: How about that throw and catch by Allen and Zay on 3rd and 12 on our own 2 yard line!

BillsFan130 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Descent game by Zay today. Still would have liked to see him make 1 or two more plays though. That 3rd and 11 in the first half (was a tough catch don’t get me wrong) And the one at the end of course. I know it should have been PI but would have liked to see him come down with it regardless. Overall he has progressed nicely this year though and actually looks like a NFL receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) This man had a heck of a game. Zay was the real break out player today. If Josh had been accurate on his throws Zay would have had 150+ yards receiving and at least three TDs. Happy for him given the rough start. Edit: is anyone else having issues evaluating receivers on this team? KB is an obvious disappointment. It's a little harder with Foster, Thompson, and Zay given how bad the QB play has been. It's possible Zay is having a great season and most of us don't know because we're not watching all 22. The stats clearly aren't telling the whole story.

JohnC Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Now that Zay Jones is living up to his draft status the rating of this regime's two drafts appear to be very solid. There is no dud selection with any of our first three picks in the two drafts with many solid pickups in the lower rounds.In the next draft we have a full complement of picks. If the picks match the previous two years of selections the roster should be bolstered with the franchise continuing to move in the right direction.

John from Riverside Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I can’t tell if he is a 2 or a 3 but I def think he has a place in this team and is starting to show his draft status worth there are 1st round receivers that bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see a true #1 a burner at #2 and Zay in the slot. Give Josh that setup along with a reliable TE and we may have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezertbill Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I really see Zay not only growing on the field, but also growing off. I'm officially become a big fan of his. I loved his post game interview. He couldn't even really focus cuz he was soo upset about the loss. Just by his answers you can tell he is going to be a leader of this team moving forward. He is going to start calling guys out (IE mom's post about Benjamin) and start holding guys accountable. We need guys like that. At the end of the conversation he was asked about Charles Clay and his response "Charles is a grown man you can go ask him" speaks volumes about his compete level and how he holds guys accountable. Especially guys who are more veteran than him, and make a lot more money. I think this is a game this team will look back upon down the road and will be used as a measure of how fast they grew up once we get more talent and more experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17years&waiting Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm happy to see Zay's development this season. And, I fully admit that I was one of the people calling for his head after last season. His growth has been fun to watch. But, he has a lot more growth to develop into a serious threat.

And he needed to get better. 2 TDs and a 2pt conversion is not just a quarter for some guys. Few WRs get 2 TDs a game. Zay Jones gives Allen a lifeline. How about that 3rd and long that Zay caught walking a tightrope down the sideline. Then he went back to him with 1 minute left in the 4th and Zay nearly hung onto it to beat the Phins. Yesterday was hopefully the start of something between Allen/Zay. I need to see this again and again and again. Could be the start of a 10 year thing. The stats and accolades will come.

I'm not going to get carried away and anoint him as an elite receiver. But he is capable of being a good receiver. He's not a number one receiver. But that doesn't mean that he can't be an important contributor in the passing game. His rookie year was problematic. But let's remember it was his rookie year. This year, it can't be denied that he has shown flashes of ability to play up to his second round status. I'm happy with him and even more optimistic about his future. He will never be a dynamic receiver but he can be a good receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zay is 6'2 and runs amazing routes and can catch in traffic. He can be a possession guy and redzone threat. Will he be a burner? Probably not, but he can score points and pickup 1st downs.

Once again he nearly had 3 TDs yesterday, that's what you want from a #1. I think Zay will put up 1,000yards next year or close to it. Granted it'll be at 11yac but still there's nothing wrong at all with 10 yards and a 1st down. He can be a 10TD guy. Once again, he is a big WR in the red zone, big 6'2 target and has wonderful feet. We need a splashy #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
