Someone upstream was saying he needs to be a KR or PR. Nailed it. The guy is clearly an elite athlete. Seemed like the way he holds the ball was awkward but he can fly. Bet he’s been fumbling in camp or doesn’t catch well. Id assign him to fielding all the punters punts in practice and then bring in 5 more punters or set up a juggs.

Yeah, that’s a big deal during the regular season. Zay has cost this team wins and points during his time here. Players all make mistakes, but Zay’s habit of making game altering mistakes needs to be corrected quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hopefully any issues that he has can be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He saw the hole, hit it quick, changed direction and broke it to the outside. And he looks to have some wheels. Vision and burst. I want to see more of this kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see the game so I don’t know what he was doing, but I played rugby in college. Backs are often holding the ball in a way that they can pitch to either side with two hands at any moment, or in a way they can be quick to get to that point. I’m very curious to see what they are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hed be hell hell of a returner Tell you what, I know that it was only one play, but if Wade keeps it up, the Bills may have to change their offensive plans. We may be having different conversations.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 NFL.com doesn't feature Wade's thriller. Kind of strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hed be hell hell of a returner I just brought this up to a buddy via text when the run happened. It seems that his open field running background in rugby and his speed would really suit the NFL return game. I’m wondering why he’s not gotten any looks there yet.... of it that opens up to him at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the pitch way, in the open field way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so disappointed I didn’t get to see this live, but I guess I’ll save on an hour of commercials and other nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
