Zay demoted behind Deonte

I really like how Zay has been coming along, but I do like this move. Hard to keep Thompson off the field when all he seems to do is make plays. 

 

Hopefully Zay keeps his head up and keeps progressing. I still say he's going to be a heckuva player.

It should be KB and DT on the outside and ZJ in the slot anyway.

Hes a rookie....

The talent is obviously there.

 

Once we get our real qb, a lot of this constant switching in coaches, coordinators, systems and players will stop

[Success]

Yeah - I like how Zay has progressed. Deonte seems like more of a big play guy now, which we need.

 

With Benjamin healthy, our wr corps is pretty solid

[BuffaloBill]

It is difficult for WR’s to be high impact in their first year.  I think Jones will be a good player with time but he has not been consistent this year.

Agree with this.  His catch percentage is abysmal, but the quarterbacking this year is as bad as I remember it being.

Why is Rotoworld only reporting this and not the likes of Chris Brown, Mike Rodak, Sal C, Sal M, Joe B, Vic Carucci etc....

 

I think next year, Zay is our slot replacing Matthews.

[H2o]

Zay will likely get the start this weekend. They say Benjamin tweaked that knee twice yesterday. I have a feeling he sits this week. 

[Bing Bong]

Deonte had an okay catch in a fluke game and with an absolute dime of a throw. He really hasn't shown anything all year, why is the board suddenly anointing him king playmaker??

[wppete]

Once we get a real QB Zay will be a standout out.

Thompson has been pretty good. I like it.

Good call. Jones was absolutely invisible yesterday. I focused on him a few times -in the game and on the sidelines. Deer in the headlights.

 

When it comes to WR decisions in the off season, I hope Beane doesn’t even consider he’s on the team. I’d hate to take a pass on a quality vet ‘because we have Zey’..

[White Linen]

It's hard for me to get excited about anyone with 25 catches and 291 yds.  I'll give Zay the benefit of the doubt with Tyrod being the QB and the blizzard game Sunday - but I'm far from liking how he's coming along.

DT was good $$ in preseason a few years back. I wish they would throw him the ball a little more. He made some huge catches vs the bucs too. I think zay is our kost targeted wr this season with the least amount of recs

What WR (or any player for that matter) didn’t look like a deer in headlights yesterday playing in a foot of snow?  I think Zay Jones has a bright future for this team as a slot WR.

I hope that they dont overlook the correct TYPE of receiver.

 

This team still lacks the true burner that gets behind the defense....need at least one good one on the team.  Thompson is the closest thing.

i like what deonte has brought to the team. hr seems like a nice contributor. i think that zay is a good kid with a lot of talent/ he has shown flashes here and there but has also been wildly inconsistent. i think all he needs is that one game where he gets targeted a ton and the ball keeps coming his way. i think it is only a matter of time (and targets) for him.

Here Is the weird part. Jones sucks the first like 8 games of the year but they continue to play him over Thompson. Jones finally looks like he is coming around as a player the past few weeks, and now they demote him?... Why wouldn't they do this earlier in the year if anything?

An "okay" catch? Really?

 

He's actually made several key grabs this season. No one is anointing him king anything just yet but there really isn't a question that he's been a better playmaker than Zay this year. Glad to see him get the promotion.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to figure out. He's looked like the best wr on the field the last few weeks(not saying much with benjamin out and matthews hobbled).
