6 Hawkeyes on Monday Night Football

[DutchyFunStar]

That has to be some kind of record for Hawks in a game.

SF: Beathard, Kittle, Mabin

GB: Daniels, Jackson, Bulaga

Edit to include Bulaga (assumed he was hurt again)

Bulaga

Kittle is the leading receiver on the 49ers. Pretty good. How many plays is Mabin getting per game?

I think Mabin has started at least one game. I guess I could look it up.

Looked it up, he's played 4 games this year, no starts.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Mabin is listed as the back up for one of the corner spots.

[HawkinMN]

The staff should be showing this to all recruits.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Green Bay Hawkeyes vs. San Francisco Hawk eyes....

 

[rchawk]

The staff should be showing this to all recruits.

Kirk and company coach 'em up to NFL paychecks. No doubt about that.

 

[ichawk24]

Mabin has only 53 defensive snaps this year, but PFF rates him very well in limited time.

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

God I'd like to dig up all the threads ragging on Mabin. I'm guessing it's mostly the same posters that rag on all of our other players, but man, would be some good reading.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

I went to an NFL game & a Hawkeye Legends game broke out!

 

[ichawk24]

Agreed. Most Hawkeye fans thought Mabin was a terrible player at Iowa, when he was actually above average.

Agreed- I remember telling people Niemann and Mabin will have NFL careers

I'll be watchin' this one and hoping CJ can engineer an upset for the 49ers. I hate to see the GB Hawkeyes lose, but somebody has to. And it is awesome to see all the Iowa alums in this game, certainly a valuable recruiting tool. The road to Monday night football goes through Iowa City.

Gotta believe, despite all of the facets/talent beyond his control, this game dictates the long term future of Beathard in the league. High profile MNF game and a HoFer quarterbacking the other team. If he shows he belongs, can compete and elevate the 49ers above all their injuries, it will go a long way in the type of perception that keeps the QB paychecks coming. Good dose of irony that his Hawkeye brothers on the other team will play a part.

 

[NevadaHawk]

I would enjoy seeing all the Hawkeyes have big moments in this game but the Packers get the win.

I don't think so. NFL GM's do a lot more than just watch TV. If CJ can play, they will find him.

 

[Biggus Blockus]

Unless it's one of my favorite teams playing, I usually cheer for the team with the most Hawkeyes on it. Not sure what to do tonite except enjoy the player intros when "Iowa" is mentioned 6 times!

 

[justinjdry]

The Iowa staff should tell every potential recruit to tune in tonight to see why they should choose the Hawkeyes!

 

[citizenHawk]

I don't think so. NFL GM's do a lot more than just watch TV. If CJ can play, they will find him.

I'd like to believe all decisions come down to that, but if there is negative public perception regarding a player's ability, I think it impacts what GM's will ultimately do regarding high profile/money positions. More leeway as a backup, but with new players entering the league every year, new hotness sometimes looks better than what is in the fridge. Certainly, solidifying himself there in SF is the best bet, and most attainable goal, but if CJ goes toe-to-toe in this game, or can do something special, he could get the attention that leads to bigger things.

I think "we" know he can play, so no argument there. I'm absolutely rooting for him to succeed on every down. I hope he plays his best game tonight.

 

[rchawk]

Some supposed Power 5 conference teams don't have any of their players drafted. Hard to believe but sometimes a supposed major college football team will go three or four or five years without a player selected in the NFL draft.

That;s not all bad. if the team of questionable talent rallies around their stars who later get cut as free agents.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Agreed. Most Hawkeye fans thought Mabin was a terrible player at Iowa, when he was actually above average.

Ill be the first to admit that I would be on that list. Dude drove me crazy at times... now he makes millions of dollars playing the most popular sport in America. He wins and I am really happy for him.

 

[cheerscoach]

My recollection is that Mabin was always in good position, but like Moss he was a little slow early on reacting to and playing the ball, so gave up some plays. He continually got better (and was always solid against the run), but was dinged up most of his senior year. Anyone else remember it that way?

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

It would be lovely if the 49ers D didn't suck balls. I was up by 30 points in FF to start the night. Rodgers is going to have that by half.

I need a tender collarbone here.

 

[SoFla-Hawkeye]

Mabin is also playing all ST tonight

 

[cecilB]

Only dumb ones. Seriously, he was critiqued mercilessly here by ‘most’. Tells one how ya have to sift through threads, eh?

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Mabin is getting beat like a drum late in this game. Pretty much going at him every play. Poor guy.

Mabin got absolutely torched in the last two minutes by Green Bay

Nope. I am sure there are some people on here who will say he was in perfect position but just got victimized by perfect throws.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Blame 49ers for not putting Sherman on Adams the entire time. And for the penalty that gave the Pack a first down to extend the series.

I’m starting to wonder about the NFL on the calls they make for certain teams.

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

Nope. I am sure there are some people on here who will say he was in perfect position but just got victimized by perfect throws.

I’m guessing you were one of the guys ragging on him all the time here and don’t like those posters pointing out how stupid that was. I’m not sure anyone would say he didn’t get embarrassed the last two series. But something should be said that the guy is playing in a Monday Night game when about 1/3 of the board here said he didn’t deserve to start here.
