'18 OR ATH Braden Lenzy (Notre Dame Signee)

[Irish YJ]

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Surprised by this but good for him

 

[tko]

Dial it in and hone your craft son. Opportunity is in front of you.

 

[PANDFAN]

Spend more time with the jug machine

 

[Rizzophil]

Love me some jugs

 

[ND88]

I’m sure this was a difficult decision. Much respect for making the tough call.

Kelly to Jack Nolan yesterday "He's (Lenzy) going to catch the ball down the field. He's going to score touchdowns for us".

 

[Old Man Mike]

Sigh of relief ... need an imitation of Will Fuller sooner or later on the team. Unlike most others, I believe if that sort of WR is literally "out there", Book will get him the ball. Book is too damm good a mechanic and hard worker NOT to get the deep ball downpat. REALLY hoping Lenzy can add the Blazer threat.

Agree....When a team has the ability to take the top off, it creates so much more open space in a defense.

What worries me is in the video of him catching a ball he had to turn around and stop to catch it, can the QB get the ball in the right place?

Well, that was one rep.

I'll be worried when I hear the beat reporters saying that Book/Phil are consistently struggling to get the ball out in front downfield.

We know that was a limitation of Book's last year but the staff and he worked hard at it all offseason and this is a young WR who they are likely still building rapport with. And this specific WR is blazing fast. He will adjust/get the ball out quicker.

Today is day 5 of camp. My only worry at this point is keeping the roster healthy.

I'm fine with him adjusting back, if his defender is even further back...

I'm forever pessimistic about my football teams but one thing that worries me not about either of my football loves is having a QB that can accurately get the ball to the receivers.

Can we bring back the Tunnel/Rocket Screen?!?! I know you want to hit downfield with the guy, but no doubt these speeders do well in space on this play.

Amir Carlisle and Fuller both had a lot of success with that tunnel screen. I wouldn't hate seeing Lenzy &/or Keys get a shot at it.

That was someone else's playbook. Maybe they left a copy laying around and Chip found it.

Oh I know, but god it’s so good

Except when it gets blown up

Except when it gets blown up

Yes...A blown up screen is ugly!

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Most reporters agree: Braden Lenzy has a different speed.

Let's hope he gets a few opportunities/game to show it. Whether it's tunnel screens or go routes.

I suspect it will be a go route first. Give the defense something to think about. When they play back a little use the screen.

Who are the ones that disagree?

I don't want to say all reporters agree because I haven't seen every one of them state it in the affirmative.

New starting WR on NDInsider's depth chart. When does ND release depth charts each week?

Was this depth chart out before Loy broke the news?

Pretty sure ND withheld the depth chart this week as Michigan didn't release theirs

Unsure but getting designed plays in a big time matchup said it all, IMO.

 

[Luckylucci]

Now they just need to put Keys in a 50/50 rep share with Finke and we’re all good.

 

[koonja]

Just please no Finke on the outside, my Lord.

 

[NDVirginia19]

man I can't wait to see this offense as designed with Jafar Armstrong and then the explosion of Lenzy and hopefully Keys. Could be an entirely new look offense with those three.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Just please no Finke on the outside, my Lord.

Agree 100% I’m okay with Young leaving too let’s get these young WR’s ready for next year next man up
