Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Is Lenius a doog legend?

I never boo the kids, but he was super hyped here during the offseason for one 16 yard catch against UCLA last year. I know I was happy with his size and route running ability, but he has failed to deliver everywhere else this year.

Since UCLA last year, all I can remember about him is running backwards from the 1st down marker on 3rd down at BSU, fumbling against USU, that holding penalty against BSU that cost us field position, the offensive PI on the first play against Cal, and failing to block the Cal CB on Micken's bubble screen a couple of times.

I know it's early, but he is one player that has failed to live up to the offseason hype.

    He's just one of many WRs who are playing like shit. They have trouble getting open, they have trouble catching the ball when they do get open, and they have trouble holding on to the ball when they do get open and do catch the ball. Oh, and they can't block for shit either. Other than that, they're playing great!

    In a perfect world, he wouldn't be playing yet but when you have a scrap heap consisting of Marvin Hall and a one-legged Kasen Williams, you have to look at other options.

    Despite the backwards running that he must have learned from Mickens, I like the looks he's gotten over the middle of the field on slants.

    Lenius needs to get on roids and stay on the roids. Weakest 6'5 225 WR I've ever seen.

    That being said, he has some nice skills.

    What skills does he have and when is he going to show them?

    No WR has done anything. Pettis has also sucked and Mickens continues to be Mickens. It's on the coaches. If these guys are actually that bad, get Daniels, McClatcher, and Renfro (despite fumble) in there more.
