He is looking into a potential visit to Iowa City this weekend
The secondary needs all the help they can get.
Words I didn't think I'd hear while Phil is our DC. But yeah, we do. And with this being Harris' last year, we need help at all 4 positions because our safeties are NOT good and the other corner position is a train wreck. Man, we went from riches to rags in the secondary pretty damn fast!The secondary needs all the help they can get.
No kidding!too bad we can't make in season trades

They're not playing with a high level of physicality like we're used to seeing either.Words I didn't think I'd hear while Phil is our DC. But yeah, we do.

that's the next step in NILtoo bad we can't make in season trades
Complacency, stubbornness…oh shucks 🤷🏻♂️Words I didn't think I'd hear while Phil is our DC. But yeah, we do.

Etringer has played well. Best safety we’ve had this year imo.Words I didn't think I'd hear while Phil is our DC. But yeah, we do.

We miss Joe Evans so much!No kidding!
The Dline could really help out the secondary with just an average pass rush this season, unfortunately the ability to pressure the QB has been abysmal thus far.
It makes a world of difference to a Phil Parker defense (or any defense for that matter) having an elite pass rush DE on the team. Sadly, there's no Van Ness, AJE, Drew Ott, Clayborn or Matt Roth on this team.
I know Koen is playing safety right now, but I think he's being groomed to take over for Castro at Cash.....Etringer has played well. Best safety we’ve had this year imo.
They looked like a different group against MSU vs Washington.No kidding!

Michigan State has a similar blue collar program that prides physicality all over the field. The games with them are always slug fests where the victors usually impose their will physically on both sides of the ball. Their ball carriers weren’t avoiding contact, they were initiating it. Easy to do when you win big in the trenches on both sides and stack 8-9 man boxes and crash LOS on D, forcing repeated 3 and outs because your opponent can’t throw the ball.They looked like a different group against MSU vs Washington.
He had a good habit of getting to the QB too!We miss Joe Evans so much!
Someday man. It will get crazy.too bad we can't make in season trades
Ironically the poor showing from the defense he got to see shld give him confidence he can come in a play immediately for a typically stellar Iowa defense. At least I hope that was his takeaway!!So, he just officially visited Michigan State to watch them beat the Hawks.
We have a lot of young talent, but they are young. We have talent at WR, DB, LB and TE, but it is all young. IF we get to a bowl game, after bowl practice ends, coach will tell us who the young guys are that are doing well this season, just like he always does. They don't have much time to sepnd with the young guys right now, so bowl prep gives them a chance to see who is taking the biggest steps forward. Then obviously we need them to double down on commitment in the off season.Etringer has played well. Best safety we’ve had this year imo.
I’m cautiously optimistic about the last 2 years classes but until they find a good QB it won’t matter. How they’ve continually screwed up their evaluations and development at the most critical position on the team is beyond frustrating.We have a lot of young talent, but they are young.

Nestor had a rough night but not ready to give up all hope on him. The guy he was guarding is an NFL WR already.But he saw Nestor and knew Iowa was the opportunity he was looking for.
That is where I'm at with it.I’m cautiously optimistic about the last 2 years classes but until they find a good QB it won’t matter. How they’ve continually screwed up their evaluations and development at the most critical position on the team is beyond frustrating.
Sullivan at QB and we win this damn game! Sullivan physicality pervades the entire team attitude!!MSU sure looked like they were using the Iowa blueprint.
That's a good thing, he definitely knows we need cornerbacks! 🤣🤣So, he just officially visited Michigan State to watch them beat the Hawks.

They’d have won the ISU game by 20 points. Should have without him. They might have won by 20 if he just would have played inside the 3 yard line.with Sully starting, I honestly think we are 7-1 instead of 5-3
we don't lose to Clown U
we don't lose at MSU
