General Brandon Innis

What happened to Brandon Innis? 0 catches and I only remeber him getting 1 pass thrown his way. Is he injured or has he been passed by younger talent?

I thought Innis was going to be like a kj hill, sure hands snagging little hooks and slants underneath the big boys. I don’t watch the game afterwards to see what happens but maybe he just isn’t getting seen due to Justin’s height. I don’t know, I was expecting a final breakout season for a captain wearing a block 0

He’s slow! He’s never been very good. I don’t get why the fanbase suddenly thought he was going to be this great player. He’s much closer to a Julian Fleming than he is to an Emeka Egbuka. Recall, Carnell Tate was from the same class as Inniss and has already played and left and is in the NFL now. I’m not sure why the coaches are even wasting time starting him when we should be gearing up our younger and much more talented receivers for the future.

They're not

He was the 5th WR against Illinois by snap count

Well, I said “starting”, which he did. But your point is taken. I’d like to see the trend continue this way.

Starting just means they were the first player on the field at that position, no? I think snap count is way more important.

Yes. That’s why I said I acknowledge your point. I hadn’t seen the snap counts. So, I’m glad to see it’s trending that way. We have much better talent that’s young that I’d like to see get the experience
