Title: Malik Knowles
Post by: deputy dawg on October 09, 2020, 06:46:44 AM
Has anyone else noticed that he has suddenly become inconsistent in his pass-catching?  I can think of at least 2 TD's he's dropped that were catchable passes.  I know that he comes through with stud plays, but am wondering if anyone else has noticed (besides NFL scouts)?

Didn’t he have a couple horrendous drops in his first game for us?

Yes, he had some bad drops, but he's also dropped some balls that were not great throws as well. I think a bigger issue is that he hasn't found ways to get open like he did last year.

I disagree quite a bit with your "suddenly"

I feel like he has pretty good straight line speed, he’s got a big body but he must not be a very crisp route runner.

I'm very disappointed with Knowles AND Youngblood so far this year, whether it be from injuries or whatever.

Deuce can't do it all... or can he

I didn't see it, but was told he had to make the one hander because he ran/broke off a terrible route?

I mean I don't know what the call was but that didn't appear to be the case.

I look it as a glass half full situation. When staff coach up Knowles and Youngblood to their potential, this team will take another big step toward titletown.

Pretty clear that Howard has spent a lot of time throwing to DJamer Render in practice. I didn't even know who he was. At least YB was used as a decoy several times yesterday, our guy Malik is way off the plot right now.

Yeah. I kinda felt like Howard and render have played a lot together.

extremely telling when he drops the TD against TT and doesn't even react

Dammit!  Howard drops one into his hands in the end zone and he doesn't handle it.  Announcers say KU defender broke it up, but a decent, much less good, wide receiver, would have snagged that.

Yeah the defender really did get his arm in there at just the right moment.

Yeah the defender did a great job too.

Side note Howard looks pretty good when he has protection

Knowles dropped another touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter.  But he looked pretty studly on that 7 yd reception (1st of the game for him).

We need to keep scoring.  Like PW says "cut the head off".   I know that's a sorry bastard thing to say, but somebody's got to put them out of their miserly.  They are a wounded animal in the Big XII.
