He seems dejected and sitting in the back 40 even after Saquon's TD. That's your #1 draft pick, benched or mentally defeated(after being physically defeated). Mister Confidence no more...
This guy really needs to step it up, or get some good technical advice. He seems easy to push around and not fast or strong enough for the league

Oh my God, I remember him on the Oxygen tank last year after an assisted sack. Basically he cannot purge the acidosis from blood with poor aerobic capacity
If he’s not being taught techniques , shame on coaching; if being taught and not using them, he’ll be in the NOT FOR LONG league.
He really needs to gain functional strength and learn some additional pass rushing techniques
He is easy to block
Everything that I saw at Oregon is playing out here.
I question whether this guy has the fire in his belly to be great.
1 QB hit is the only stat he has to show from yesterday. And Oshane Ximines had 2 of those in 1/3 of KT's # of snaps.
What the heck is going on?!
is there something about the initials KT?
Second, every time I saw him he was taking on a double team in a zone blocking scheme.
Third he was showing full throttle effort the entire 4th qtr.
you people never learn.
They are expecting Thibs to be the Alpha Dog on the defense. He's got the rep, top 10 push and name recognition to make himself some good $$$. But he has to take it. He's not just one of the guys.
This defense underperforming so much, seeing stuff like this, you wonder what could be going on behind the scenes.
Cigarettes look like they are affecting him now. He looks slow
Cigarettes, Less lung capacity now, He does not have the endurance he had last year and it shows.

I suspect 2 packs a day is what's going on.
Yes, he does, there is an Oregon U podcast video of him prior to draft saying he likes smoking to paraphrase.

He needs Nicotine Gum and ween himself off cigs

His speed alone isn’t cutting it. There was one play where the LT let him run wide and stayed close enough to just push him wider and behind the QB where if he planted his right foot and cut behind the LT he had a hit, if not a sack.

Jfc this thread probably several top 5 of your stupidest fucking posts and that’s saying something. Fucking moron
He's fucking 22 years old, anyone who lifts knows that you go through a huge bulk phase in your mid 20's and that gives you your mass especially legs.
We all agree he needs to up his game, trying to read into his mind by how he’s sitting on the bench is dumb and pointless
-Ruin recovery between downs
-trash your heart and Vo2 max
-Circulatory system to entire body all at once(like a football play)cannot deliver blood to all the necessary muscles
I do notice when he has his shirt off that he's a bit softer in the core and his lower chain(glute) is not better than a kicker. He needs to shape up literally

Have something to do with his inability to have any impact whatsoever? Guy is playing a position his body isn’t built to play at this level

I don't think he is contemplating like Socrates or Plato on the bench. His ego was hurt and he was sulking like a 4 year old child who didn't get his favorite flavor of ice Cream.
At least we won't have any adversity/controversy leading into Thursday night!

Oh please. I swear anything for clicks. He could have been looking at plays on his device.

Does the replies in this thread jog your memory? Lmao
Second, because the right questions are:
Is there something wrong with Kayvon? (Because he isn’t having the impact you’d expect.)
If not, how is he being used? How are opponents playing him? Is he doing his job within the scheme?
If there is something wrong, what is it and how does it get fixed?
Remember, athletes slump at work for the same reasons anyone else does, plus all the sports reasons. We don’t know what’s going on with these guys, not really. So it could be a football thing or something entirely unrelated to football. Bad breakup, depression, sick parent, we don’t know.

The dude hasn't sniffed the QB in 8 quarters so far. There is something wrong because he looks lethargic and slow. He is not the first athlete to have his career affected by his habits.
It's also possible he doesn't really love football and didn't really put in the work to excel at it. And yes, he probably should have worked on adding muscle in the off-season.
But again, it's also possible that there's something else going on that's distracting him. We just don't know.
I don't have the exact stats to prove it but I think Francisco Lindor had a prolonged slump that ended almost exactly when his new baby was born. Nobody said his wife was having a difficult pregnancy, or that he was worried about her, or anything like that, but I doubt it's a coincidence that his season took off afterward. Same king of thing happens with lots of guys.

Eric, keep fighting the good fight.
Q: There was a video posted of you sitting alone on the bench, while a lot of the rest of the team was celebrating. I'm not insinuating anything, I'm just giving you a chance to respond.
A: What part of the game was that?
Q: I think it was at the end after the field goal. It looks like it in the video.
A: After the field goal, so that was the last play…I think when you play this game, you start to realize, and I'm only answering it like this because I know that there's videos and there's always narratives put out, but when you're in a situation where the fate of the game lands on one drive or one situation, and you're kind of those people, right? The defense are the guys who are looked to to answer that. The only person I look to is God, right? So, I'm sitting in that moment, and I'm praying, and I'm kind of, I guess you would say meditating and visualizing what we're going to do as a team to go out there. For me, it's kind of like there are too many people that wake up and want to put negativity out there. For us to come back and win a game, it's nothing but positive. For a defense, everybody just wants to be able to make that play when the time does come. I think it's more of a visualization and a meditation thing that, hopefully I don't ever have to answer something like that in the future.
