'21 OH WR Lorenzo Styles Jr. (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[Crazy Balki]

Can you blame him? We have zero QB’s capable of getting him the ball

I can 100% blame him.

Dude had his chance to get the ball a few times on Saturday and literally dropped the ball.

You don't get to blame your QB in that situation. That's on YOU.

I don't buy the rumors for a second, but that's a spineless shit move if enacted.

 

[BeatSC]

On one of the passes he did catch he looked very speedy up the sideline and physical to look at. We should let the season play out. I can’t imagine might mite (I mean Pyne) lasting the entire year whether by injury if pathetic showing so maybe Angeli will sling it with a WTF attitude. I think we are going to go down the 2012 ball control run the ball approach to keep games within reach.

 

[stlnd01]

I don't know why you would make a decision about next season based upon the QB room three games in to this season. We will probably have a different QB, and quite possibly a different offensive coordinator, and either way Styles would almost certainly be our #1 receiver.
You give that up to flip to DB two years into your college career?

Me not buying either.

Dropped what 2 passes now everyone hates him lol. Remember Mayer these past 2 years how many drops did he have in big situations. People need to calm down.

Not at all, but if he's going to have a "take his ball and go home" mentality based on the product on the field when he was part of the problem, then bye Felicia.

 

[pumpdog20]

Like I've mentioned, he's good enough to be a decent #2 or strong #3 on a good offense. Unfortunately, our offense sucks, but he's not at all that I've hoped for.
And assuming the rumor is true, he knows it and is why he's willing to switch to corner.

 

[ulukinatme]

Unpopular take: Let him go drop balls for OSU then. Not like he's elevating the offense currently.

I know it's a low bar, but he's literally our best receiver. On the flip side I don't think the rumor is legit.

 

[Southside Sully]

I brought this up in postgame thread but he absolutely was in at DB after Bracys injury in the 4th

Will need to check this out when the game replay shows up online somewhere

It is probably too late to shift lenzy over?

I'm not sure it would be of any use. We put Styles back there because he's been a proven playmaker. If there's a hole, and you don't have another defender to take the spot, I think you let your best offensive comparable guy play both ways to fill in the gap.
[EDIT] Disregard, they're saying Watts went #4 now.

 

[JamIrish]

Xavier Watts was wearing #4 today, it might have been him.

Ahhh if so that makes sense didn’t see 4 anywhere else on roster or anything

[ulukinatme]

I guess we can't expect Watts to be getting anymore reps at WR then, unless he only comes in to spell Styles.

Is he hurt? He looks like a different guy this year in terms of explosiveness.

Need a QB to get him the ball or a OC who can call plays

Looks noticeably stiff and less athletic. Since OSU, I’ve felt something was wrong with the S&C program. I’ve felt several guys were stiff and less explosive. Too much bulk in the off-season?

 

[Crazy Balki]

He had opportunities to make plays when he got the ball and didn't.

It's not helping, but he doesn't get to use that excuse. He was bad.

 

[T-Boone]

All the RBs and WRs seem to be getting slower.

 

[allenm5333]

Lo seems to me like he is playing slow because he is not getting targeted enough. Like a RB who is getting a touch here and there. No rhythm

 

[irishff1014]

That's exactly what i was going to ask.

 

[Grahambo]

This is a big reason why this offensive failure falls squarely on TR. He seems to be trying to run a pro-style offense instead of keeping it simple and allowing his skill players to use their natural gifted abilities.

He’s not designing simple plays for Zo to get open. I could be wrong but it seems like I see Mayer, Jayden, and Lenzy go in motion more often then Zo. Zo needs to be the one in motion the most which will allow him to be put into favorable mismatches like lining up against a LB or a Safety.

Reminds me of an old physics teacher/ bball coach I had in high school. He had a sign on his wall that said
KISS
Keep it simple stupid

Tommy could learn from that

 

[CanadalovesND]

Maybe he was over-hyped a little given his recruiting ranking and the HUGE chance at being the guy this year, but maybe we all, media included, got a little too ahead of ourselves.

Physically he looks fine, if anything it seems like a confidence issue. Dropped touchdown and missed catch on that seam... perhaps he can't rebound himself quick enough.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

His hands and ball tracking are disappointing.
Honestly he looks like a DB playing receiver.

Our best DBs look like converted WRs and our best WRs look like converted DBs. Maybe the answer is that we just suck?

Sir, this is Styles’ thread, not Lenzy’s.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Styles seemed faster last year not sure what happened

 

[ThePiombino]

Anyone know WTF happened to this kid this year? I mean, I'm sure he's not thrilled with having a low-talent pigme behind center, but these drops are next level inexcusable for a D1 WR, let alone one who's supposed to be WR1 at ND...
