Receiving Leaders through 1st 4 games - Page 2 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

He will have a break out game soon. He is just in a slump...I would not be surprise to see him have a 100+ yards receiving and 2 TD's in one of the next 2 games! He is ONLY a sophmore...he will be fine! He is a talented athlete and it will all come together soon!

But when better players arrive you slowly sink to the bottom of the depth chart.

Kumara has loads of talent and potential, he's not going anywhere. The only reason he is not starting anymore is that Tate and Floyd are making plays, and he is simply not at this time. He just needs to raise his confidence and go grab some balls.

My only knock on Kamara is finishing his plays all the time. Some of the INTs have been in a position where he can turn into defensive back and knock the ball away and he just appears to stop when he is not getting the ball. On the other hand, Tate has done a great job of turning into a DB and preventing a couple more INTs. That coupled with some of the bad drops Kamara has had have contributed to his reduced role. I really wish the call last week would have gone in his favor and the TD would have been allowed. I think that catch could have been the one to give him a boost.

Hang in there Duval, your chances will come!

For Kamara to get a lot of playing time he will have to play over Tate or Floyd. I just don't see that happening. I think both of them actually have more talent so Kamara made a huge mental mistake by not coming in to this season sharp and ready to go.

In my opinion next year Deion Walker could see some serious PT in place of Grimes.

He dropped quite a few easy passes, last year, as well. With Kamara, it seems like he catches only the balls that are the hardest catches to make. Put him one on one and just heave up a jump ball? 8 times out of 10 he comes down with it. Get him loose on a 6 yard slant and put it right in his breadbasket? Drop! I don't get it. But I don't have to get it, to see it happening right in front of me eyes.

I disagree. Hit him on a slant and it hits his shoulder pads because he doesn't catch it with his hands, and then the ball pops up in the air and gets picked, and then Clausen gets killed on the message boards for throwing an INT.

Yeah, it seems that people forget that he dropped a lot last year as well, and he had the dropsies in the spring as well. Bottom line is, last year when he broke the record for freshman receptions at ND, Tate was a receiver without a clue, and Floyd was a senior in h.s. Now they've arrived, and Kamara still drops the ball. Bottom line, he has to make plays. He hasn't. Like I said, he's a Domer, so I root like hell for him. But bottom line is there are 3 receivers (Grimes too) better than he is right now, and Parrish has his own niche as well. Time for Kamara to raise his game...
