Chris Lewis Entering Portal
- Thread starter KA4Prez
- Start date
There was a time when Magwood and Lewis would have been the best receivers on the field for UK.
Thanks for playing at UK. Hope he stays - I loved watching him play - but it looks like UK has or will have at least 4 guys that are better than him. He could stay and play in the future in my opinion - I say that because I see UK becoming a more passing oriented team from now on and we all know that a ankle injury opens doors very quickly in a game.
Go Big Blue!
If we had been going varied tempo all year, and not throwing 50% of our passes behind the LOS, everyone would've eaten this year. He wouldn't be transferring.
Instead we choked up on the rotation, skipped any rpos, hot reads, and even abandoned the middle of the field until UL, and wasted one of the best defenses we've had statistically.

I guess the eye opening part of Christian Lewis is
1. I get he's 4*...but last year he didn't beat out Epps early nor Demarcus Harris late
2. Then we assumed he needed a year to get his feet under him....and I get Key and Barion jumped him...but to be honest...Demarcus Harris appears to have stayed ahead of him.
So I don't know the deal. I bet Lewis is good on 50/50 balls but he may not be quite as fast and struggles to get open which is why he's not moving depth chart wise.

Preach the TRUTH. It's been agonizing to watch.
Magwood and him both passed up by younger players, with no real hope of any change moving forward.
It is part of D1 athletics.
Players want to play.
I understand, don't blame them, and wish them the best.

Anyone who couldn't beat out epps or Harris was never going to see the field amongst all this new wr talent. Jmo.
WRs need targets. Plain and simple. If you're not targeted when you're in the game, what's the motivation? We were spreading the ball around the first 4 games, using the field, hitting 9-10 players. Then we puckered up.
Wasted Upshaw, Cummings, Lewis, Harris, and Magwood, etc. Should've been rotating players through and taking advantage of their differing strengths. No one knew what these players brought to the table except our staff and their teammates, so defenses would've had a difficult time matching up with them.
So, as we did with our play calling, we played to our opponent's strengths. It was so frustrating to watch us have roughly 2 patterns for each position x-z, and that frkn screen. Only time we even tried to change it up was a mudder.fuggin.FADE, AND the occasional slant in the red zone (which they gave us all game at almost every point on the field) ... WTF....
No comebacks, posts, deep curls, picks, or timing patterns besides the screens. I was so excited when they finally did a shovel/pitch to the back outside the tacklebox that I almost got a woody. That's how unoriginal and pathetic our play-calling was. A TON of wasted "motions" that did NOTHING and told us NOTHING, because the defense KNEW the players were going right back where they started before the snap. EXCRUCIATING
Your WRs can all drive 20+ yards in 3 seconds. Hit em at 5, 10, or 15 yards and the ball is out quickly enough that the rush is useless. Instead of spreading teams out and setting up the run with the pass, we tightened up the formation and made it easier on them, running up the middle or only putting 2 in the pattern. Ffs why?
