    Last year big ken played decently bs man coverage and struggled bs zone coverage. On Sunday we saw the 49ers play a ton of zone coverage. How long before the rest of the league catches on and starts playing kenny the same way? Will the browns?

    When did calling Kenny, “Big Ken” become a thing?

    Dumbest nickname I’ve heard for him so far.

    It popped up last week. It’s ****ing terrible, but after his performance on Sunday it’s well deserved. I think it initially came from cam’s podcast

    Watched a YouTube video the other day, stated the same. He is fine man to man but his zone reads are awful. More classroom work needed.

    After that performance against the 49ers his new nickname should be Little Ken :shrug:.

    I steadfastly refuse to use "Big Ken." It's ridiculous.

    KFP works just fine for me. And it's fitting in either mood: happy or angry. You'd just be using a different tone of voice and emphasis. :roflmao:

    I am going to categorically deny using "Big Ken" as his nickname from here on out. 1st of all, he isn't physically "big" like Ben was, and secondly, he offers zero similar play as Ben did, nothing near it. "Big Ken" is a bull sh-t nickname.

    As I stated earlier in the thread it’s a terrible nickname. However, after picket’s performance on Sunday it’s deserved

    For the seriousness of the thread.
    1st . It's true so far.
    2. Let's hope He gets better at it.
    3. Not every team can run zone effectively. Example: NE hasn't for many years....I don't know about this year. They use it, but they do not, and haven't been good at it for awhile.
    4. He better be working on this. I mean I heard all offseason How great it was having a guy that works, and studied as much as He does, and how much smarter He was than previous QBs.
