Did he fumble another one? After his muffed punt?
I was wondering if someone was going to start a JJ thread. LOL
Guys that make it to this level should be better, most especially in their 2nd year. I guess we wait and see what he does at Dallas next week.
i live not far from where he went to college and its a very small town. i bet its like going from highschool to the nfl. he is the only reason i even know where lane college is.
Sheesh, call off the dogs, they'll get this sorted out before the first game.
not a bad idea, since he might not get many carries this yr. i just want a reason to buy a number 12 jersey
I think almost all of us were just far too high on Jacoby Jones. He was a good preseason story last year. "Kid from small school does good in the pro's and isn't phased by the transition" made for good press and he really was exciting but that was preseason before he knew what he was getting into and this is year two and the rest of the league isn't surprised at how quick Jacoby Jones is. They had him figured out in about three weeks last year and the sad truth is that he's nothing special at this level.
I'm not really interested in seeing the Texans keep him at this point. He's last years kool aid and nothing more.
It seems like David Anderson has leapfrogged him and is the #4 guy now. I wonder if Tim Carter or Harry Williams have any chance at also passing by JJ.
He kind of reminds me of a young player called up from the minors and starts playing well right as soon as he is brought up. But then the league catches up to him and we realize he's playing over his head.
I want to see Slaton take PRs with the 1s next week. If he's solid in that role then Jacoby is going to have to win the WR 5 job outright. But at this point he's not suiting up on Sundays until he proves that he's taking to the coaching and stops repeating the same mistakes.
I love how last year people were wanting to crown him the starter by game 3, and this season they want to throw him under the bus. Maybe he'll have a complete year reversal this year. Horrible preseason, awesome regular season. The knee jerk reactions are quite fun to read.

omg. Is that Reeves on the ground? How ominous. Someone should've shown that to Rick Smith before he even went in contact with Reeves.
Why do you assume it's a knee jerk reaction?
Have you heard what Kubiak has been preaching throughout the offseason OTAs and training camp?
Protect. The. Ball.
These aren't knee-jerk reactions and nobody is throwing him under the bus. Jacoby Jones jumped the shark and forgot that the path to success lies in taking it one step at a time.
The buck stops with him.
I'm as big a JJ fan as anyone, but his failure to hold on to the ball and his poor decision-making on punt returns makes him somewhat of a liability right now.

Yes. An end-around. NFL.com credited Brink with hit but I'm not so sure. I want to see the replay.
But from what the announcers said, it was a sure TD. Everyone flowed to the run fake and he had open field ahead of him.

Pre season phenom turned dud.
I'd be all for a player that wants to learn and that is playing. #86 Williams deserves the roster spot for his special teams play over Jacoby Jones.
Yes, I know its only the 2nd preseason game. But we learned our lessons with Mathis too. Play someone that actually contributes.
Jacoby Jones has to much talent for us to even say the word cut. What I see is a hyperactive guy that is trying to hard. All of his problems seem happen when he is returning punts. I say just take that away from him for awhile because with his size and speed he can focus on being a serious threat a cris henry (without the off the field problems). I think Jacoby needs to calm down and when he makes a catch...act like you just made a game winning play. Calm down young man and focus....JJ might want to watch the way Andre and Andre and Walter carry themselves. I think everyone wants so bad for this guy to do good but, he has to calm down some. Jacoby reminds me of another show off that we had in houston that really went on to be one of the crowd favorites...Chris Dishman..mah man..lolOK what happens now? Nothing?
