Kaleb Brown

Speaking of this, are we going to throw a deep pass at all this year?

Based on the hail mary in the ISU game, I'd say that deep passing isn't going to be a big part of this offense any time soon....

Tim Lester on Kaleb Brown: "There have been times we've tried to get him the ball and he hasn't run the route we need him to.... When he's on time, moving the ball is natural."

Makes some sense. When it looked like Brown was open against MN and Cade sailed it on him, they showed Cade screaming about something. Wonder if even though Brown was open, he ran the route incorrectly which is why Cade missed him so badly.

Would like to see Brown mixed in in any way that gets the ball in his hands quickly as he is a playmaker.

I would argue RVZ in his very short collegiate career has already made more game changing plays than KB.

RVZ has done ok, but has had 3-4 drops since the first game.

When the opposing QB isn’t a threat to run the defensive line doesn’t have to be as disciplined in its rush lanes and can take more risks and get up field further and work back to the QB. They also can rush inside moves more because they know they can retrace back once the QB is flushed because he’s probably not fast enough to make them pay.

Thus needing to run some draws throughout the game.

It's entirely possible that the coaches know what they are doing, at least some of the time.

You really want to believe that, but with respect to the passing game over the past 4 years, the Iowa staff hasn't really earned the benefit of the doubt yet.

Where is he? Is he in Kirk's dog house? There's no way he fell off this much. He's a game changer.

Watch the Lester interview if you want the answer.

Synopsis...he's having issues running the correct routes (requires reads in Lesters offense). Lester said he's coming along and wants to include him more.

Iowa must get the most mentally challenged WR in all of football cause every year it’s the same excuse of how hard it is to learn the playbook

Yet every other school has transfers, freshman, new schemes and doesn’t seem to stop their playmakers from getting the ball

People forget that this is a brand new system with all new reads and routes based of those reads. If the coach can't trust you to run the right route, it is going to limit your time on the field.

With that said, Brown can be a big time difference maker when on the field athletically so here is to hoping he gets it figured out and we get him on the field more.
