Kinnie

[Enhance]

I agree with Shatels article about this being the third year if he shot watson 2 yrs ago. But now, what about our defense? They looked like we just hired Carl and are learning their books all over again.

Your guess is as good as mine. The defensive line's inability to play well doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and I'm still struggling to figure out why they played so poorly. But as far as the defensive backfield goes, we don't have Gomes, Hagg, Amukamara or Dennard anymore. Dennard will be back in a couple of weeks, but those are four extremely talented secondary players that no longer help us control the middle of the field.

people are too tough on kinnie. he's fine, and he's a great down field blocker. he busts his arse on every play.

Part of being a reciever is helping out your QB by CATCHING THE BALL. If he can block thats fine and dandy, but jeez catch atleast one pass.

Turner probably isn't the starter because he probably doesn't know the playbook as well and probably isn't a great blocker yet...i believe Beck has a lot of plays designed for him though...we're just waiting to use them

Hell, he is doing alot better then Kinney not knowing the playbook.

BK needs to be watching this Cowboys-Jets game. Watch Dez Bryant and Miles Austin make plays on the ball. Damn.

Maybe he try stickem or practice with a roll of toilet paper...

Kinnie needs to be on tghe bench until he shows the same desire/heart as our Freshman receivers. They flat out want to play and went up and got balls. I agree Kinnie has NPD and should be on the bench. Has he caught a ball this year? Maybe he is a great blocked but if you can't catch you shoul be on the bench on all passing plays!

He did catch a simple throw in the first game for a few yards, hut nothing to call home about.

I dont think that BK should have to sit. Maybe they could move him to the defense and use him as a corner or safety. That way BK could give opposing recievers concussions by head slapping them with his hands of STONE!!!! :clap

That's for sure. It's great he knows the playbook but dropping passes all over the place........well.......

not sure, but against Fresno i think he dropped/missed 7 balls.....obviously some were poorly thrown, but i have seen enough for awhile.

I love BK's attitude. I hope he pulls through the slump and becomes a contributor to the offense. We need him.

Nebraska senior wideout Brandon Kinnie essentially was asked Monday to give a progress report on the Huskers' offense."Oh, we're all right," he said. "It's coming along."

Then he volunteered how he felt about his own play.

"I know I've got to come along, big time," he said. "I'm struggling. It's just a little adversity right now. It's mental."

but people are acting like all wrs do is catch balls. he has an important role with his excellent blocking. very important for a rush offense the can't get a push up the middle.

His blocking is nowhere near where Niles Paul’s was. Did you stick up for him whenever most of the “experts” around here were (still are) bashing him?

Niles made some great blocks, but he also whiffed on a LOT of blocks. Let's not pretend that Niles was some perfect player with a couple of drops. Great guy, loved him as a Husker, but let's be real about his playing time here.

I’m just saying that Niles was a better blocker then Kinnie is. They both have/had problems catching the ball. This is nothing new for Kinnie and people pretending that it is are kidding themselves.
