*****Official Miami (OH) at IOWA Game Thread*****

[brewhawk23]

Well we will see our depth at linebacker. Damn shame......

 

[spiderland]

Wow. Just. Wow.

 

[Tommy Gavin]

His day is over.

 

[hwk23]

wow, impressive return. BS call

 

[dbq hawk 32]

Lol what is the point of even playing football at this point.

 

[ANYCHawk]

well jokey those four plays were fun while they lasted.

 

[flaiawis]

Targeting sucks.

 

[Hawktagonapus]

How is Jewel supposed to avoid that?

 

[BioHawk]

Can't do that Josey. Have to play smarter than that.

 

[anon_01irjibf16qqj]

wow, impressive return. BS call

No. It was the right call. Don't be an idiot.

 

[SoDakHawk]

This sport is getting unwatchable. Can't even block anybody anymore. Lead with shoulder, head is on top of shoulders, what's a guy supposed to do? Just layoff I guess.

 

[Tommy Gavin]

That neck snap looked brutal.

 

[Stormn Norman]

Two more of those and we tie Minny... sMh

 

[Run&Blade]

Call is legit, he targeted his head with his shoulder. No point to it at all.

 

[spiderland]

Toss sweep. Is this real life?

 

[GPRHAWK]

How anyone can say that is a BS call amazes. You might not like the rule but it was the textbook definition of targeting.

 

[Hawktagonapus]

Call is legit, he targeted his head with his shoulder. No point to it at all.

There was no intent from Jewel. Miami tripped and stuck his head out.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Incidental as player was losing control and stumbling, but rule doesn't allow for that. Good call whether we like it or not.

 

[mvhomerj]

How is Jewel supposed to avoid that?

You serious Clark? He should be gone. J,J,= dumb ass.

 

[Hawktagonapus]

You serious Clark? He should be gone. J,J,= dumb ass.

It would have been a completely legal hit had Miami not tripped.

 

[hawksauce]

Is Josey out for a half next game, or no?

 

[MepoDawg#]

You serious Clark? He should be gone. J,J,= dumb ass.

Huh, it was incidental, but still right call. No reason for the name calling.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Yep. Happens when you play over matched opponents.

 

[SoDakHawk]

Call is legit, he targeted his head with his shoulder. No point to it at all.

He put his shoulder into the guy's chest. Look at the motion where he throws his shoulder. Leading with the head is using it as a weapon. He clearly meant to hit with his shoulder, the head was incidental conduct. Shite is happening so fast out there you can't avoid incidental contact like that. If you think you can avoid it you have never played the game and are fooling yourself.

 

[hawkeyepower100]

Is Josey out for a half next game, or no?

No since it happened in first half

 

[anon_01irjibf16qqj]

Is Josey out for a half next game, or no?

Just this game.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Is Josey out for a half next game, or no?

only if it occurred on second half.

 

[GPRHAWK]

There was no intent from Jewel. Miami tripped and stuck his head out.

Yeah. The Miami player should be the one being ejected

 

[spiderland]

Offense looked sharp.

 

[UNIowaHawk]

There was no intent from Jewel. Miami tripped and stuck his head out.

This. The Miami player lowered his head at the last step, otherwise Josey wouldn't have hit him in the head. I'm fine with targeting rules, but there needs to be interpretation of intent. Sometimes the hits to the head are due to the injured player.

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

While y'all talk about JJ the offense just put together a helluva efficient drive.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Well we'll build some depth and LB and keep Jewell healthy for next game.

 

[brewhawk23]

Great start on offense. O Line looked good and Wadley elusive.

 

[flaiawis]

Offensive line pushing the their dline five yards off the ball.

 

[bman546]

I'll stick my neck out, but it is obvious, even after the first drive Wadley is CLEARLY the better RB. Use Daniels to give Wadley some rest, and take him out in certain offensive situations...

 

[kentadel]

Nice drive. Targeting was correct, led with his head.

 

[desihawk]

At this point, kick-offs seem to be in good feet. Thanks for coming to Iowa, Mr Coluzzi

 

[MepoDawg#]

I'll stick my neck out, but it is obvious, even after the first drive Wadley is CLEARLY the better RB. Use Daniels to give Wadley some rest, and take him out in certain offensive situations...

I agree, I'd split 67-33.

 

[GoHawks2009]

Can't watch the game so I'm leaning on you guys for updates right now....

 

[BioHawk]

I'll stick my neck out, but it is obvious, even after the first drive Wadley is CLEARLY the better RB. Use Daniels to give Wadley some rest, and take him out in certain offensive situations...

From the way they ran the first drive it seems the coaches feel the same thing you do.

 

[ANYCHawk]

Yeah. The Miami player should be the one being ejected

i think he has to figure out where he is first.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Nice drive. Targeting was correct, led with his head.

Leading with your head doesn't necessarily mean targeting. It's point of contact on the other player by head, fist, forearm, elbow or shoulder.

 

[spiderland]

Positive development...
