Someone with more futbol knowledge than me tell me why someone as catalytic as Reyna saw fewer and fewer minutes as the season went on. I feel like every time he was on the field he was making plays. What gives?

He was, his playmaking skills were pretty good.  What made him the odd man out was that he was a liability on defense and his fitness was always lacking.  He would never be able to go a full 90 minutes.  That’s always been the case with him, notorious for that when he’s played national games for Peru.  He wouldn’t even get close, around 60 minutes you could notice it, even when was younger.  I’m Peruvian so I’ve been able to watch him closely for a long time now.

Also, they have Vargas, who’s 8 years younger and towards the end of the season showed flashes of being able to be regular in the starting 11.  Plus Adam Armour who’s also 8 years younger, definitely not better on offense than Reyna, but for sure is on defense. 

You also have other wingers that are younger, like Jozwiak, Shinyashiki, Gaines, who are all arguably better than Reyna.  Reyna was just the odd man out in possibly the strongest group of the team. 

Age and defense liability were the biggest factors in my opinion.

He was also one of, if not the highest paid non-DP player I believe. I think it kind of shows this was the right move considering we got nothing done with him in the January window.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
