Go watch the last few games and focus on #0. He runs free pretty often. There is also the 1 touchdown per game that Pyne misses him. He's not like a first round talent or anything like that, but he does not deserve the hate he's gotten this year.
I agree, he's also catching the ball much better than in the past. I can't think of any glaring drops he's had this season, especially the past few games. Styles has been struggling a bit; I hope to see Pyne continue to give Lenzy some chances and keep working with Jayden Thomas.
I know it's not going to happen but Pyne seriously needs to spend an hour or two every day after practice throwing to Lenzy, Styles, and Merriweather. Something is totally off with their chemistry. When they are open, the throw is shit. When the throw is on target, the catch is shit. They just need to bury the reps and force progress.
When I played football, if the RBs fumbled the coaches made us walk around school the next day holding a football to and from every class and the students were tasked with trying to knock it out. I feel like Styles needs to get random footballs thrown at him by the students (kidding). Audric certainly needs to walk around campus with a football though.
Agree with this. Coupled with having a first hand account of how much of a leader he is in that room, I'm in agreement this is more on our deficiencies at QB
I know we joke about it, but making a football player who fumbles a football carry a football to their Finance 202 class, or to the dining hall is the dumbest and most archaic practice. It has no application on gameday.
Not sure what they can do to get Audric's ball secruity improved at this point; he was clearly instructed to keep two hands on the ball when approaching contact against UNLV after he only had one arm on the ball when that back-breaking fumble occurred against Stanford. Still didn't help.
I pointed out how Lenzy has negative reputation of dropping the football, which hasn't really been the case this year, and pointed out that my bigger concerns with this offense aren't Lenzy related, they're Styles (drops) and Estime (fumbles).
I agree with you that in the past Lenzy often had drops on short to intermediate throws, which he has cleaned up this year. Saying that, he still struggles coming down with jump balls/contested balls. To me it just seems like he just does not have very good ball tracking skills and instincts.
I'd agree, but given his size/stature, he isn't necessarily the best option for those kinds of passes. But it's been nice seeing him catch more balls with his hands and he's dynamic on those toss sweeps.
I was thinking the exact same thing……maybe Colzie’s two receptions has distracted them ☘️
Playing special teams…..
He made a special teams tackle on that last drive, right?
Would have like 4-5 more TDs if someone on this team could throw a deep ball.
