HuskerInLostWages Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Someone's going to have to find the highlights for all those. I know some people disagree with me, but from what I saw while watching it live, at least two of Kinnie's "drops" were not on target throws at all. Yes, it is conceivable that he could have caught them...but I would not call them 'drops' so much as bad throws. That is not to diminish the big stepping up that Quincy did today. That was awesome! The main pass I was talking about, Kinnie was led almost perfectly, it hit him in the hands. He had an easy extra 10-15 yards had he caught the ball and had he gotten by the only defender close to him he had a TD. I believe it was the end of the first quarter or start of the second when it occurred. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 He and Kyler definitely need to get the ball more Quote Link to comment

If they weren't on-target at all how is it he had is hands on them? I'd say they were not optimal but catchable and he failed to make plays. Making plays = catching what you can get your hands on, beating defenders for balls, and getting yards after the catch/contact. That said, it was just one game, WAY too early to call him having a Menelik Holt '09 season. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Again, someone will have to pull up the video on these. I only saw them once and while that was my initial reaction to them, it may or may not be right. There's a big difference between hitting the receiver on target and throwing a ball very off target and having the receiver helplessly contort his body and stick out an arm to make contact with it. There were some plays where the receiver, not sure who it was, wasn't even looking that way because it went to the opposite shoulder, or something like that. I don't know, I was watching on a small screen and now I don't have the replay Would love some clarity on these! Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Ya know who else needs to get the ball, TURNER!!! DAMN THAT KID HAS MOVES!!! gave me chills Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'm pretty sure you're right zoogies. They weren't all on target. That being said, I'm a firm believer that you have to catch it if it hits your hands. BK did not. Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 I taped the game and rewatched it again late last night and stand by my original post. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 There was a practice video of Kinnie a few days ago that showed him trying to catch the ball with one hand. His other hand was heavily taped. Kinnie is a tough guy, but he probably needs to give it a rest for a bit. Quote Link to comment
Nebula Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I remain confident in BK, regardless of what appears to me to be rampant overreaction to the first game of the season. Jmo, of course. Quote Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 If we are going to bag on someone, it should be Rex. He ran like crap, couldn't get yards, just looked plain horrible. The younger guys looked better then he did. Kinnie wasn't the only one that had problems catching the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 True, Rex running into Taylor was huge and a freshman mistake. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 His first drop was way behind him and he had to completely turn his body around, and it was a 5 yard out so he really didn't have time to turn his body around and adjust to the ball. Trying to catch a ball where you have to completely turn your body around to make a catch is about 50/50. That was a fairly difficult ball to catch so I'll give the benefit of the doubt on that one. His second drop was conpletely his fault. He had an easy touchdown and tried catching it with his chest and not his hands. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 First game guys. Pass judgement in a few games maybe. ^^ This. BK will be a stud at WR for us. Just wait and see. Quote Link to comment
