eball Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Made a really nice TD catch for the Raiders last night. I didn’t watch much of the game but Zay is a good guy and it’s nice to see him have some success. Still consider that a pretty significant “miss” by McD (pre-Beane) in the 2nd round but crap happens. The Bills have moved on with a great WR corps and there’s no reason to hate on the guy. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 He has a whopping total of 21 receptions for 162 yards and 1 TD in 12 games played since joining the Raiders. I'd say to get a 5th back was a quality swap. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hating at all but he has been a major non-factor in his entire career. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I was happy to see him make that catch too! One of this regime's few blown picks, but glad he's still in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he “caught” that thing with his forearms. Ball was moving all over the place. Shortly after they tried to throw a fade to the corner... he did some weird stutter step move on the LOS that fooled no one. The commentator was perplexed 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have moved on with a great WR corps and there’s no reason to hate on the guy. The miss by Coach McD was replacing a good WR coach with one from a coach who had bounced around league and was at East Carolina. He was Zay Jones coach and recommended picking Zay Jones and frankly Coach McD was not qualified to pick offense players and took his recommendation. Problem was the coach had not shown the ability to raise level of WRs including when he was WR coach for Phish. 2 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I mean, 1 reception for 15 yards and TD on 1 target ain't nothin', but it could also be the "no one expected that guy to be targeted" factor at play.

Agholor 2 targets, 2 receptions and Zay Jones 1 target, 1 reception. Carr passed 68 times in its first 2 games: 7 targets between the 3 of them. These "prominent role" dudes got 10% (7) of the targets, and the other guys (who aren't prominent?) got the other 90% of the targets (61). That is kind of an odd definition of "prominent role". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I thought the Zay Jones pick was such a slam dunk at the time. I thought at worst he would develop into what Beasley is now which is a solid upper end slot receiver. Sadly he had a lot of issues here and I think that the team put him in over his head once they traded Sammy right before his rookie season and not having much help in 2018. I hope he does at least have a few more years in the league, it just was the wrong place at the wrong time for Zay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Strange how it just doesn't click for some guys. By all accounts, Zay is a hard-working dude that does his best to improve everyday. Very productive college career and led the Bills in receiving in 2018. But now he's kinda been forgotten, even in Vegas he's like the 5th option behind Ruggs, Agholor, Renfrow, and Waller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reks Ryan Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I was at the Miami game on Sunday and thought about Zay Jones in comparison to Diggs. My 2 favorite catches from Diggs on Sunday, were the contested catch around midfield in the 2nd QTR where he went up to make the make catch between 2 defenders, and the sideline grab in the Bills last scoring drive. One of the last games I attended live before that, was home loss to NE last year. There were 2 Allen INTs in that game where Zay Jones had a chance to make a great catch, and not only didn't make the catch, but also allowed the INT. Both of the Diggs catches noted above looked like possible INTs when the ball was in the air, and actually became completions. It's great to have Diggs on the team. And glad the Bills management admitted their mistake with Zay and moved on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
