Ferentz era all-time 2-deeps

One guy's take. I'm sure there's some positions where people will largely disagree, but I like this team. Curious what substitutions people would make.

Jewell is not an outside LB.

Let's make this a community effort! I'm only factoring posts that had a complete 2-deep, otherwise I'd have to make assumptions to fill gaps and I don't want to do that. Special Teams weren't always included, so I just counted those who had them. I gave 2 points for a starter and 1 for backup. If slots were shared, the points were shared. If more than two deep were given, they were ignored. Here's where we stand through greenLite's.

WR: McNutt 9, DJK 7, Hinkel 6, Kasper 3, Brown 2, Hill/Solomon/Douglas 1

Jewell is not an outside LB.

Maybe so. But I want him on my team and that's where I have a place for him.

I want Drew Tate on my team....I'll just slot him in at second team FB.

 

[whatsup13579er]

The real flaw in your system is that Iowa has 2 inside backers and 1 outside backer. Jewell and Bower are inside backers and Niemann is an outside backer. You have plenty of room for Jewell.

I know there's a difference, but I'm dumb to all that. I just put up some linebackers, OK? I mean for crying out loud, I'm not even the first guy who put Jewell at OLB.

There, I just combined the LB and S on the combined list so y'all can get off my back.

no 3rd roud draft pic and NFL player in Carl Davis at DT

 

[greenelite]

Mike Daniels > Babineaux

Mitch King? Nice player, tough SOB. Top 2 ? ... these things are indeed subjective

Mitch King was the Big Ten defensive lineman of the year. Dude absolutely dominated at times.

Put up a two deep and I'll get your vote added!

Mike Daniels > Babineaux

Put yours up and get your vote counted. Personally, I disagree. If you want to factor NFL careers, well Daniels has about half the number of years Babs had so we'll see. In their times at Iowa, I think Babs was better. I went searching for stats on the pair, but the websites I found apparently don't have defensive stats back that far. Anyone got any leads? I can get Daniels' stats just fine.

I understand...great player, put up big numbers...thats why we loved him.

Also undersized and part of some dLines that got pushed around at time. We're talking 2 deeps over a long period of times, and some real talent over that period of time
