Any updates on Jonathan Parker injury/return?

[BigOHawk]

Would be another nice weapon in passing game and/or jet sweeps to get some more offensive momentum. That said, has Ryan Boyle been in on special teams for all games this year?

Jonathan Parker makes his return this Saturday. Book it.

 

[Hawk68]

Well, that means we will get to see one jet sweep.

Well, that means we will get to see one jet sweep.

And my guess is Northwestern will never see it coming...

 

[Slappy Pappy]

Use him to stretch the field. Throw it to him, even overthrowing, and with his speed, He could be pulling the safeties deep to open it up underneath. We need more deep threats badly.

Parker was captured by Men in Black at the end of the 2014 season

 

[QChawks]

Too sexy.

He probably hasn't learned the vast playbook yet

Didn't help that every time Our jet sweep guy came in the game we ran that play! Real sneaky..

Jonathon Parker could help us a great deal. He looked very good in the two open practices this spring. Now , with the apparent injury to Matt Vandenberg , we need Jonathon and several other receivers to step up big time. If we can get him the ball in the open field, he could certainly do some damage.

How to get him touches: (all based on him having his speed and being healthy)

--Screens.
--Jet Sweeps
--Run him deep to see if he can surprise a secondary and get behind them.
--Keep running him deep to allow for the mid range routes to open.
--pitch toss
-- horizontal passing game to the outside
-- quick slants (typically I like bigger WRs doing this, but his quicks might be able to create some space)

He's working hard to develop so that he can touch the ball once more before his career is over. He has a chance of that. Certainly.

You forgot kick returns...

 

[David1979]

I think it has been close to 8 weeks so I wouldn't be surprised if he is back practicing this week. However, back practicing does not mean game ready. I do think he would be a good option in t he slot. Not only is he super fast he is super quick. No way a linebacker could cover him.

 

[BigOHawk]

Good info and analysis. Somebody should tweet Morehouse to ask about him after the presser today or call into Hawk Talk tomorrow night.

 

[whatsup13579er]

KF said that Parker is Full Go in practice now. Practiced last week and is working his way back. I'm assuming they are getting him into game shape.

 

[BigOHawk]

Just read that, good news! Time to alert the FAA, jet sweeps will be happening in Iowa City soon!

 

[QChawks]

Must be in the doghouse

 

[Stormn Norman]

We didn't need him today

 

[Jonnymungo]

We didn't need him today

Is this sarcasm?

 

[WORTHYWISH]

Is this sarcasm?

Are you serious?

Is a frogs a$$ water tight??

Man I figured. Was just making sure.
