Seems UK ruins great talent and makes average talent good.

 

The list could go on and on of talent not used or ruined.

 

Despite the number of pros in the NFL that would contradict that thought, sure.

I think NFL could turn Timmons into an awesome slot receiver. Dawson doesn't work with Timmons like Neal Brown did, in my opinion.

Not sure. My real beef with Mountain Ref's quote was he lumped every UK player as a failure.

Who is the Wide Receiver Coach?

 

Tommy Mainord I think.

Looks like he's being targeted 2 times a game as opposed to 6 per game last year. Is it his confidence the problem or is it a lack of confidence in him by PT? Or is it just the circumstances of the games? He is certainly a valuable weapon when he's on his game.

 

I think PT throws to the first open receiver during his progression. Besides that PT doesn't have the time to figure out who it is catching the ball, as long as they are wearing a UK jersey.

How do you know how much a coach works with a player?

There's a lot of talent in the WR core, not enough balls to go around to keep people happy. Johnson, Baker, and Badet will always get the majority of the balls thrown to them because they are simply better. Timmons, Bone, etc. are going to have to fight for the scraps, and make the most of those opportunities.

 

It's not that there is something wrong with him, he simply isn't good enough.

I think it has more to do with the younger players are just as good if not than better than Timmons. The little things will be huge, like field punts and kickoffs, so if he can do those two I'm a happy fan.

I hope UK doesn't forget about their pass catching tight end. Came up big in the clutch last week.

Made a very poor decision against Missouri by fielding a punt inside the 5 yard line. Also fumbled a punt late in the game. Actually I think he is too risky to be fielding punts, maybe we should put King back there. He has just never lived up to the hype

Agreed. :thumb: Loved seeing Conrad have a big game.

I think Timmons was in the backfield a couple of times against Missouri. I don't have a problem with letting him run the ball or throwing him short passes out in space to see if he can make something happen.

 

But I'm with you on the punt return thing. He makes me a nervous wreck.

Stoop's and Vince have really upgraded the receiving corp. I think this is the difference in Timmons. They simply don't need him in the same role he played his first 2 years.

As far as the hype thing goes, you could say the same thing about Matt Elam--------at least so far (hope it changes).

Or MAYBE coverage is being rolled to him and others are open on those plays? This isn't directed at you but there is usually another team on the field playing defense after a week of film study and practice.
