Donald Jones getting love from Sports Illustrated's Peter King
(1/1)
ysuindy:
Sports Illustrated's Peter King from his Monday Morning Quarterback column (the best read on the internet IMHO) has some love for former Penguin Donald Jones
--- Quote ---Sunday: Buffalo Bills, Pittsford, N.Y
Three quick practice observations on the Bills
1: Lots of teams can say when they spread the field that they're going to be difficult to handle. I saw it with my own eyes late Sunday afternoon. When the Bills line up in a five-wide formation, with Ryan Fitzpatrick in a shotgun, they go with Lee Evans and Stevie Johnson outside, David Nelson (second-year surprise from Florida), Roscoe Parrish and the heretofore unknown Donald Jones inside. (Jones, you can tell by being here, is a favorite of the coaches and the quarterback.) The reason this formation could be a major threat is because of the speed of Evans and Parrish, the over-the-top catching ability of Johnson and the physical nature of Jones and Nelson. Sometimes the Bills might use C.J. Spiller as one of the slot guys and they might line up Brad Smith in the shotgun instead of Fitzpatrick. Whatever they do, there are enough young weapons here to make the AFC East take notice.

King's 5 fantasy football tips included Jones
--- Quote ---4. Donald Jones, WR, Buffalo, 12th round. The Bills are going to throw it a lot. Jones could be the second-most productive receiver to Stevie Johnson, with apologies to Lee Evans. Don't worry if you haven't heard of him. No one in your league has, either.

and from Tuesday's mailbag
--- Quote ---3. Yes, I know about Donald Jones. That's because a) I'm a Bills fan and b) I attended Youngstown State. Go Penguins!
4. The shotgun/Wildcat might work if Fitz doesn't get creamed. Offensive linemen, anyone? I would've kept Jasper on the O-line, if for nothing else than to serve as the great wall of Chy-lie. Or Peet-Zah."

On another note, I believe I saw Dominque Barnes was let go by the Lions.
IAA Fan:
According to the Detroit News, Barnes was supposed op be released to sign a Tony Moll, but he has not been released as of this morning.
