Kenyan Drake hasn't been getting as many touches since he fumbled the KO vs OM

I've been wondering why it feels like he hasn't been getting near as many touches as he should, and then I realized the fumble may have been the catalyst for it.

i am not sure if he is 100% healthy

I've noticed this year that he's trying to make a big play happen on every touch.. And it has cost him at times. He needs to take what he's given and the huge plays will come. He just seems a tad unsettled to me. Can't wait to see him settle in and break loose! Hopefully this weekend.

Down and distance has hurt us this year. We need to move the sticks and Drake has been dancing a lot. I think he will settle down and get back to being a mismatch for opponents.

I think once we can develop a good flow with this O, then we'll be able to move him around like they want to.

I think there are a few factors contributing but I am pretty sure this is at least a part of the story. I think he got nicked up against Ole Miss so it's probably a combination of the stuff mentioned in this thread.

If Damian Harris breaks out of his shell, we may see even less of Drake.

Why haven't see seen more of Drake at wide out? Staff afraid of injuries or something?

Bo looked so good in his very limited action. He may be that 3rd and 2 guy we need do badly. He has more acceleration than Henry in my eyes.

we really need to play him more at wr in the slot with Henry so they can be on the field at the same times. We tend to tilt the play when we sub him at rb for Henry. Teams know were most likely to run the ball and we won’t play action as much with him in at rb Because of his size in regard to blocking (picking up blitz).
If played in a complete whole offensive series. Teams won’t know when you’re going to just run the jet sweep. I really believe he could play wr thru a complete possession series.And do a better job than what Stewart is doing.
Because Stewart does a bad job of catching ball over his shoulder on deep balls..Stewart plays the Wr position like a Rb. He needs to catch more slants than streak patterns. Like white last year was always on crossing patterns or post corner routes..
In closing we just need to figure out how to get drake in more open field. Also nothing wrong with allowing he and Henry in I-FORMATION sets with Henry leading in a gap, Instead of the toss every time just to mix it up with Bo possibly being ready.
Find a way to have all three on the field at the same time like in bunch formations sets..
Bo on toss with Henry leading or Henry with Bo leading with fakes off that to deep Ridley(UGA game)..or with drake in crossing route(UGA-deep pass to Ridley)

1. Catching the ball
2. Blocking
Pretty much the two most important functions of his position. So I would go ahead and list
3. WR

4. Returning kickoffs.
Almost forgot that one.
