What can I expect from jacoby Jones?

I think to call a block in the back the ref would have had to assume the gunner knew Jones muffed the punt. It was a pretty bang bang play and I think you have to give the gunner the benefit of the doubt. I also feel that if the ball is touched, returners are fare game just like WR's on offense.

As far as the OP is concerned, I think his tape speaks for itself. He is as unreliable as they get. Yes he will take 1 to the house in a blue moon, but the cons outweight the pro's by a hefty margin here. I am not sure what position yall expect him to play, but I see him as TC fodder for you.

.. and then?
You just wanted to start another 63 page thread didn't you?
:kubepalm:
read this Jacoby's gotta go thread, then you can ask.
Agree with above... relo this to the NFL section.

The guy was not trolling and was just asking a question about what to expect out of an ex player here. Nothing wrong with the thread or the question from the Ravens fan. If you didn't like the thread choice, you didn't need to click the thread and involve yourself in it.
Lol! So it was just automatic that the Texans would have won that game any way, beaten the Patriots, and than smacked the Giants around? I've got news for you, we weren't in the SB in that game against the Ravens. And you seem to be conveniently forgetting that TJ yates threw like 3 or 4 picks in that game. That game wasn't all on Jacoby Jones.

Jacoby Jones in review:
I would gladly give back his few punt TD returns over the years, whatever highlights he has made for a guy that will make the right decisions. Athletic potential like no other but the guy is all legs, no hands and no brains. He's literally like a pair of legs just running about trying to catch footballs.

Drink up yall, its the Texans!
This is a fair analysis.
JJ has the one thing you can't teach, speed. As long as he has that, someone will give him a chance based on his potential.
I hope a change of scenery will do him some good.
Good luck.

I only have a PC so I play Madden 08...yeah, I know, no need to say it Anyway, if you happen to be in the same boat, there's a devoted following for updating the game since it was the last Madden PC game made (footballidiot.com/forum). You can also find continuously updated fan made rosters for the other versions on the internet somewhere.

Jacoby's a guy who doesn't trust others enough to be any good. Since he's a mental midget, trust becomes a big deal because he can't be retrained. His habits cannot be reprogrammed.
What do I mean by trust? You ever play catch and not run out your pattern because you think you are open and can just stand there or slow down because you are afraid you'll outrun the throw? That's Jacoby. He's just a dumb guy who doesn't finish his routes.

A guy going into his 6th season still making stupid decisions that a rookie would make. Dude never "figured it out"...
Then again, I'm sure that there is plenty of love for Jacoby in Maryland!!! :weneedajacobyfacepalmhere:

Not really directed at you, but spinning off your comment - folks often talk about JJ's speed when we have a faster WR on the team - AJ. JJ is twitchier than AJ who is a long strider but JJ is not faster. AJ won 60 and 100 meter dash Big East championships. JJ won nada. AJ was recorded at 4.27 in college. He has been a narrow second in the fastest man competition each time he has gone to the Pro Bowl. I'm sure his speed has fallen off some but his running style makes people underestimate his speed.

I expect JJ to get his drink on in Baltimore. Party on JJ.
Good riddance, the end only came about 2 seasons to late. Gary should have kicked him off the team when he was late for the flight to Jacksonville 2 seasons ago.

Besides your back-handed slap out Kubiak, I agree with everything else.

OP, keep in mind a lot of these posts should come with the disclaimer that a lot of Texans staff and fans were expecting him to be the #2 to Andre and a serviceable #1 should Andre have gone down. And it was extremely frustrating to see him waste all those chances we gave him.
With that said, I'm assuming Baltimore fans will have lower expectations, and for the decreased role I'm sure he'll see with the Ravens, he'll be more than adequate.
You also don't have to waste a draft pick or go through the whole process of discovering who he really is.

Exactly, heaven forbid you forget about TJ Yates throwing three picks *in all honestly should have been 5-6*
ckhouston is always good for a headscratcher. He reminds me of that Lewis Black joke about brain aneurysms. "If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college".
Why would they do that? He has already done more for the Ravens than the Texans via the last game in Baltimore. J/K
But seriously they are scheduled to give him the key to the city of Baltimore on Thursday.............
Not sure what you should expect on the field, but off the field you should expect the Ravens logo in a fly haircut:

Dallas Frog
You should expect to hear his name and the word "fumble" used in approximately 6 games this year.

Thanks Tex- the reason I asked the question is because I wanted to hear what the fans had to say. I know the writers have to say. Fans tell the truth.
Much appreciate the info Texans Fans! Thanks!

I am in now way a Jacoby fan, but that is not a fair statement. Here are his career stats...http://www.nfl.com/player/jacobyjones/2495651/careerstats
The guy hasn't realized his potential and certainly needs to mature both on and off the field but some of the stuff he is being labeled with ain't right.

No problem man, and welcome to this board. It's nice to have other fans come in here and give a different perspective on our team and their team.
And to answer your question of what you could expect, well Jacoby is very talented as far as his straight line speed. His route running skills are pretty poor and all he'll ever amount to is a deep threat which you guys do actually need right now. He has very poor hands though, so occassionally he'll have a big drop. He lacks focus a lot as well and that's always been his biggest problem. When he does get the ball in space though, he is damn hard to stop and can become a HR threat instantly. I wouldn't expect much out of him, other than a few huge plays that might go for some TD's.

Never said he was trolling, just that this is posted in the wrong section, because JJ is no longer a member of the Houston Texans organization.
You have your opinion and I have mine. I was watching the game with family, and the minute he muffed that punt I told everyone I would see them later and went home ... I knew the game was over. If we win that game, which we should have despite having a rookie QB, I dont think there is anyone that beats us after that. Just my opinion, so LOL at yours too.

I don't think you need to expect too much from him, you have five better receving options ahead of him in Boldin, Smith, Rice, Pitta and Dickson. JJ should be your 6th option, so if he gets more than 25 catches, I'll be surprised. I don't think that should be your concern though, the wheels on your defense are bound to fall off this year or next. After letting Jarret Johnson go and losing Terrell Suggs to an achilles for however long (at least 8 games I think), I would say your team is set to go about 6-10 this year. Ed Reed has trouble staying healthy and will be 34, Ray Lewis will be 37, and I just don't see it lasting much longer. The Ravens have been somewhat fortunate, but age is bound to catch up with them. If the defense can't stay top 5, then Joe Flacco is going to have to actually win a few games, and I just don't see that happening. He's gonna look like Matt Ryan next year.

THe Texans were his last and only team he played for. Where else did you expect the guy to go to ask fans about Jacoby Jones? Nothing wrong with him wanting to get a report on the guy from fans who watched him for years.

There is an NFL section.
In that section there are discussions about many former Texans. Lawrence Vickers, Seth Payne, Derrick Mason, Aaron Glen, etc.
The OP isnt a regular contributor to this site .... He's a Ravens fan who came here for insight on a former Texans player .... Give the guy a break , we dont need thread police like ClutchFans.

+1..... We all have our negative feelings about a guy that after 5 or 6 years (whatever) that never "figured it out". That said, I think we all gave the OP honest feedback, whether positive or more consistently negative accounts.. (Not to mention one of Baltimore's MVP players from last year's playoffs)
*Remember when Matt Schaub was running out of real estate against OAK Raiders and JJ worked hard to bail him out for the game winning TD?? No, me neither!

Yeah , I think we all gave honest opinions .... I just get tired of the thread police .... Its getting to feel like Clutchfans , and thats annoying. Let the mods mod ... dont like something , report it to a mod rather than clutter the thread or pad your post count , thats done in the drunk thread or LOTPW thread.
This was a public service announcement brought to you by some asshole on the interwebz.

I was wondering....
where does Doc get those wonderful toys?
Hervoyel
BUENO!
I'm sorry but Jacoby Jones is an immature bum with speed. Your one chance to get anything out of him is if being cut here somehow caused him to snap to the reality that this could all be over if he doesn't figure out how to focus and become a pro. Years in Houston under Kubiak never seemed to make that happen so I don't like your chances of turning him into an effective receiver very much.
Really, BooYah!!
It's as if 'cak didn't say, "Not really directed at you." or Hagar said "we're going to miss JJ's speed."
No one has ever said JJ is the faster player, much less receiver on this team. But, in the past, JJ was the only one even close. Double teaming, even triple teaming Aj is easier when Walter & David Anderson are on the field..... yeah, without JJ over the last couple of years, that's what we had on the field.
BooYah!! really??
