1. No surprise to anyone that takes a moment to think about this, but we're gonna find out one way or another for better or worse if it was the right move to hitch our wagon to a guy coming off a fairly significant knee surgery.
2. OL will be better, but will still have issues
3. WR is still a massive question mark, and the pumping of the breaks by this coaching staff regarding Kaleb Brown is a prime example of why. It sounds like Seth Anderson is having a good camp, and that's nice and all, but given our recent history of WR play coupled with our trash OC............oh yes it still leaves a lot to be desired and is very much in the "I'll believe it when I see it" category.
4. Cooper DeJean is top 2-3 most valuable players for this team to succeed in 2023........but you have to feel a little more comfortable about our situation in the defensive secondary if he were to get hurt again, compared to McNamara. (i.e. ...................our secondary is guuuuud)
5. I got nothing here, other than Tory Taylor should win the Ray Guy Award, because f*** Wisconsin, that's why.
HM- People keep bringing up Nick Jackson being behind Jay Higgins on the depth chart. Understand that they can both be flexible with how they get guys on the field, and that Jackson is still in the "newb" status with the Iowa program under Ferentz (i.e. earn your stripes sort of thing, whether that's to the undying chagrin and consternation of the fanbase at times or not.......). I believe, though I could be wrong, that Jackson only officially joined the team at the start of Fall camp, so it would be obvious that he has to go through the motions learning Iowa's system to start.
............basically, don't worry about it, because Phil Parker.
So what you're saying is our coaching staff is failing at certain development and evaluation aspects of their jobs.........
I wasn't at the start of the scrimmage but it was not reported that he started. Feth came in because Colby went out. Anderson did start and made a great grab.
I think we should have attached our wagon to your dumb ass. You talk alot and don't say much. KF tries to fix the QB situation and you bitch. Thank God you're now on ignore.1.

Somewhat agree.
So long as we hear the name DeJean 10x for every time we hear the name DeJong, this is a 10 win Iowa team at minimum.
Heard Aaron Graves was in the backfield more than Cade McNamara. I’m not sold on Barnett being the oline coach since he’s been here but KF has hitched his wagon to him.
If I'm Utah State, I'm blitzing and often.
Yeah, this board is going to be bad again this year. Sooooooo much negativity, and too many arm chair coaches.
Some people in this world search harder for any negatives or see negatives.
And you are gonna lose 55 - 3.
Were you there yesterday?
I would suggest they will rotate guys at guard the first game or two at least.
Your 3 is generous.
Perhaps.
Fingers and toes crossed thats what we are seeing.......
LB's, which we're pretty unnoticeable yesterday, probably had 14 points.
Need a game. I am very optimistic and excited about the season as I am sure many others are, also. We are only 9 practices and in. The problem is, we have had three consecutive abysmal seasons of offense and that is what causes the negativity right now.
I did a poor job of explaining.
