On the line right now Buffalo Bills wide receiver Donald Jones I should say starting wide receiver Donald Jones Donald -- so much for taking up the time in talking with me tonight. Think it. You know it's been a it's had to -- been a whirlwind couple of years for you or I should say one year for you Donald. Going from undrafted free agent rookie to you now hold. Starting wide receiver before the team that gave you a chance how has that band from the one from. The very first spot to where you are right now.
Look good -- the little blue will meet all those -- and that this. This format now. Not if there where it. Where to go to court. Weakened -- episode together.
Now I know it's it's. -- sad to see the way that. That you've got the starting role out of it by by seeing Lee Evans be traded away to the Baltimore Ravens. How to how did you how was your relationship with believe what did you learn from him in and everything like that.
It differently -- com. You know it's -- on the field. Enormous it will all look -- All that's left little utility you have been a petition -- then you know -- You don't need a lot from here. And some -- pulpit.
Did it did it really hits you hard the day you found out that that Lee was was going on to another franchise that this guy that's been. -- pretty much taking me under his wing is would be moving on in and leaving me here is as a second year guy and hold the starter.
Ali -- that move you know yeah. It's do away. But. Not so. About it humility is in fact. Absolutely knows in the and resident after a thousand more and you know which would they think He told you lots of them -- an -- does it work they --
Now it's our circuit -- there now since that that day that He was traded away you've been supply you've been put into the lineup. Number two wide receiver the starter on the outside. How do you think you've done with the role so far He had one pre season game you had a few practices to do it's do how do you think it's dogs are.
A lot of it's just an. Not that relief. There like you know me it. -- that badly in the coming out.
know.
They didn't. Yeah right now in the morning news anyway bad well there have been in the well it is not let -- wait that's right now operate normally do totally note let me try it again.
and you know Ryan Fitzpatrick has been no one of the guys who said you you're very physically talented and and I would assume that one of the things that the coaching staff -- about you is this your ability to use your body and be able to block and things like that. How how one. How are you coming along as a blocker on run plays and and and what have you learned since you've been in the week.
All. I'd let. You know to do really -- physical ability. Especially in the run into that -- This is really. Not an. Enormous opposition must sell the simply isn't it doesn't look so. You know simple and congress could block a lot better.
Now at wide receiver Donald Jones of the Buffalo Bills here with me now on the league GR Sports Radio 550. Donald and there's a big -- Stress on Stevie Johnson now -- you know Lee Evans isn't there anymore a perceived stress I should say. Now that He is the absolute number one guy and he's gonna BC in what -- you you're the priciest he's gonna be seen all the double teams things like that. How is He handling his new role with the team and what can you expect what can we expect from Stevie this year.
I don't load a person. You. -- seeing this side. And that's -- it without us. Orange and -- your utilities. They don't you know well let's do it in the club and make -- play. They let you know we can -- be wrong and they all will be. My. You know put these. -- what people -- out who they have a vote they.
And it seems like you know since he's going to be handling a lot of the double teams can be created a bunch of opportunities for you you have to be excited about the expanded role and and to be able to contribute to this team and a much bigger way.
I'm not really you know it about. I'm glad you know these totally worth it seemed that it be -- there. It seemed so low it's a lot more and in no matter what the -- that the data that.
Now Donald training camp has come and gone and now you're. -- I would assume your head back to buffalo. How do you think training camp his dog for you so far it will really with your it. Improved roll with within the team. And and how is it -- just you know chemistry camaraderie between receiver and quarterback how's that going.
You know. Don't go well. Look I just don't think you know that -- now right let you know simply don't -- com but do we. Who do build a lot so be it you know that's that's that they. On thing you know you know we were gonna talk -- Yeah I think we have a big effect on them. We need to do you do not -- every bit.
Now I may find that interesting because OT gays and and mini camps rookie mini camps everything like that that's a big proving ground especially for guys like David and yourself and Antonio Coleman and all the undrafted guys that made it last year. How how important is that I mean -- lost especially for undrafted guys trying to make the team this year I have any of those guys come up team like -- Aiken is a good example who's I thought has been good in training camp so far. At but he's he's probably behind the eight ball because of the lack of time. How much has that affected these guys.
I love that movie effects -- Because they do. We know that you lose your -- boat sank as -- as a man look and even take. -- Hello to the bathroom and she problem. No doubt there are lower and the like needs at this. You know make it seem really just seems like this. And low quality can be that boot up do you didn't He have celebrated thing.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Donald Jones -- with the -- WGR. Donald it -- Content I could tell by a coach Daley's face I could tell by. -- Patrick phase after practice today that -- it's been a frustrating few days for the offense. Telus Telus a little bit the struggles and what you guys can do as as an offense as you head back to -- 01 -- drive to try and compensate for the time lost there.
we've been putting. --
So it doesn't just getting anything -- we know so well what do you think right there you know that I have a lot of work to. Com. -- who -- in that first problem is nowhere. In your office and be --

Plane on those two half fields that hinder you guys I know coach Gailey said something about you know fly routes -- not being able to really. Do much on that front. How -- it hinder your your guys process as as a practice.
