Line play

Try actually reading the thread.

Oh wait, you probably have half of them on ignore
oh man, I totally missed your comment, I was far too busy walking my pet fish. Don't worry, I only have 3 people on ignore, but I did want to say congrats for being one of them! Bye Felicia

How much of the line improvement has to due with Lester’s run scheme. I have a hard time believing it has anything to do with Barnett finding a lucky nut. The offensive line has been a disaster over the last 3 or 4 years under his care. In the last 40 years I haven’t seen an Iowa offense line not knowing who to block like they have under Barnett.
As much as I agree with your statements, it is true that injuries, bad recruiting, and those not panning out or leaving all have played a role in how bad our line has been. I also feel that Doyle is getting way too much credit for our former OL. 🤷‍♂️

*psst* Iowa has bad pass pro, it must be addressed before the season starts.

Pass it on!
 
Be careful, you don't want the apologists on here to read this.
Iowa football doesn't need apologists.

Maybe the people you're referring to, that give coaches the benefit of the doubt over message boarders, are nothing other than realists.

Maybe it's the members of the 7th grade girls' club, echoing each other in the restroom, that are out of their minds

Recent Offenses bring out the need for apologists. When the USofA laughs at us regularly, apologizing is in order.
Having a generational RB did tone down the scorn to a degree. Unfortunately, pass protection is still abysmal and an affront to the game.

Recent offenses don't mean a darn thing to me. So I wouldn't be one of those apologists.

I laugh at anyone who laughs at Iowa football. Feel sorry for them, actually.

Why did that generational RB not keep Iowa from having the worst offense in the country the previous two seasons? Perhaps you should reanalyze what has happened.

Abysmal pass protection? Not really

I always thought that the biggest reason for our early success under KFZ was Joe Philbin. Yes Reece Morgan was a great asset. But to me, ever since Philbin left, we've not been anywhere close to as good. Of course he became an NFL head coach so there's no way he was staying. But the combination of O'Keefe, Philbin, Morgan and Doyle was magic. And we've certainly not been within 1000 miles of that since.
You’re wrong when you say we haven’t been “anywhere close to as good “ since Philbin left. We have had a lot of strong offensive lines and outstanding teams since Philbin left. 4 out of Kirk’s 5 top 10 finishes came after Philbin left. Your comments are wrong and way over the top.

It. Never. Ends.
 

A great opportunity to revive the thread.

Thanks Gunner!
 
Nd's starting center and right guard just entered the portal.

Their d-coordinator , Golden, just took the Bengals d-coordinator job.

Maybe the Irish drop back next year.

I have to disagree; blitzes were absolutely killers for us all year
