I guess, to summarize the article, they took advantage of Kendrick's bad habits, most notably being slow at turning his hips. The article was being fairly nice to Lewis, but you won't find a national article that just flat-out bashes a guy. It was another way of saying "they were going after Kendrick Lewis all game, and he wasn't good enough to stop them".

Lewis almost single-handedly lost us multiple games this year.

Go back to every one of our losses and watch the tds we allowed...Lewis was involved in a staggering amount f them.

I just don't understand how Lewis was able to stay on the field as much as he has when Abdullah has clearly been the superior player since camp. Same question arrives when I wonder why they let Poe get so winded instead of playing Powe more. Powe has kicked ass every time he got on the field.

All you have to do to fool Lewis is wear the opposing teams jersey and he will personally escort you into the end zone.

BossChief, I agree 100%. Want to improve our defense A LOT? Simply get a better (i.e.competent) free safety. Kendrick did nothing all year. Still, it bothers me more that the coaches continued to start him. What am I missing???

Since we are pretty much hosed at FS and Byrd is gonna be expensive. What about moving Berry to FS and go after a SS in free agency. Maybe bring Pollard back he seemed to play better once be left KC.

Compared to what we had in other years, that's an all-star line-up. That was Cash's best year with 42 receptions. Dawson had 40 catches. Davis fell off hard that year after years of 900 and 800 yards and yet his 16 y/c was just out of the top 10. Vanouver was a return guy. Kimble Anders was their leading receiver. Really not a lot different than 1994 under Montana.
