So the only change is Daniels sharing the starting RB spot with Wadley correct?

I hope Mitchell still gets enough looks. Mitchell is the most complete back out of the three and offers something special on 3rd downs. Canzeri was deadly on 3rd down with his threat as a pass catcher and helped keep the line moving for the Iowa O. Wadley hasnt shown to be a threat in the pass game and last week showed if the DL can get a body on him he will go down. Daniels tends to plod at times and slows up the offense. Mitchell is the most well rounded of the three and most oddly as it seems like Canzeri. Wadley IMHO is still the #1 but Mitchell should be the #2.

Thought Daniels looked pretty good on limited carries, he seemed to get several extra yards after contact. Great to see Meiers starting, that guy we need.

We finally got the Daniels from the early season back and you're right he looked good. Has the quick explosive ability back and did break some tackles that he wasn't when he was gimpy on his ankle. Keep the rotation like we did against MD, it was excellent.

If Meier can go Sat with his usual energy/toughness, that's huge.

How long has it been Draper/Jackson behind king? Haven't paid much attention to the depth charts this year.

What's wrong with Meier? Did I miss something?

Arm in a sling.

 

[Freyvet]

Sure hope he is okay! Love his motor!

Arm in a sling.

Ugh.You could argue that OL and DE were the 2 positions that had the least depth and needed to stay healthy for Iowa to be successful this season.

 

[David1979]

They have been playing well without Ott but I can't help but think how good they would be right now with a healthy Ott. He was only fully healthy for one game of the year and still had 5 sacks and 3 forced fumbles.

Also, I don't think enough people have talked about Miles Taylor's performance. He is getting better and better every game and last Saturday he was great.

 

[ichawk24]

Meier had his arm in a sling in the post-game interviews, but when asked about it by reporters, said "I'll be fine." I agree with the speculation that he never would have been sent to post-game interviews if he was questionable for next week.

 

[hexumhawk]

Personally I think Wadley gives us our best chance to win at RB. Daniels still isn't 100% in the hole. Would like to see Mitchell and JD get carries but not as many as Wadley; he gives us the best explosion right now and home run capability.

 

[David1979]

I thought Daniels looked healthy against Maryland. I think you have to keep going with a combo of him and Wadley and then using Mitchell on 3rd downs or in a few other select situations.

I thought I wasn't 100% in the hole a few years back, long story short I have a child now and I guess I was wrong

 

[whatsup13579er]

I thought Daniels looked about as good as I have seen him in an Iowa uniform last Saturday. That being said I think Wadley should get the majority of the carries (15-20) and Daniels should get around 10 touches and Mitchell get more than 5.

Who gets the other 25 carries this Saturday, because my hope is that we can just run it right down their throats!!!!!!

At that point Wadley should have his 200+ yards for the day so KF should just be daring them to tackle the big boys Daniels and Mitchell.

Does Meier have NFL draft potential given his motor, heart?

Lots of coaches love to have a couple of these guys for examples...

 

[hexumhawk]

Not sure about Meir but I wouldn't count him out. Dude has like 8 sacks I think this year.

Probably not quick enough to move to LB and too small for DE at the next level.

 

[hawkeyefanatic84]

How long has it been Draper/Jackson behind king? Haven't paid much attention to the depth charts this year.

I think it's been like that most of the season.

 

[whatsup13579er]

I think it's been like that most of the season.

Jackson has played a lot in 3rd and long situations and made some plays. Kid has a bright future.

I don't think he has the size or speed to play DE in the NFL. Where else he gonna play?

Jackson has passed Draper for reps, the dime package is almost always Fleming/Jackson now.

Special teams...wedge buster...
