TJ Hall

[gohawks999]

I thought Lee played great last year and coaches talk highly of Nestor. How do we keep throwing Hall out there? 🤦‍♀️

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

I think Schulte MAY have been at fault on that second one.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Hall needs to sit....the dude is a complete liability

38-7 without him

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Hall got smoked. Twice. It's funny it took this thread so long to come out.

 

[Herkylian]

I think Schulte MAY have been at fault on that second one.

You're correct, though Hall should have drifted deeper in the handoff to Schulte. Schulte was only focused on the left side of the field as that receiver came up. And actually looking at that play in slow motion, It was an amazing play call against our defense because it forced Schulte to decide between one receiver on the left that was actually running through his zone, as opposed to the wide receiver on his right.

 

[BonzoFury]

We miss Cooper DeJean more than many realize.

 

[MilleGinja]

I sure hope Phil has some magic he can work in the defensive backfield. Harris has been great though

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Hall definitely looked like he was expecting deep third help there.

The secondary hasn’t been good the last six quarters of football.

 

[Thunderlips71]

Does the “T” stand for “Toasted”?

 

[RollingBallofButcherKnives]

And Des, Josh and Riley….

TJ is a confirmed scrub. He shouldn't see another snap this season.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Yeah, fans have been spoiled into thinking Phil Parker can just plug in anyone at corner and expect the secondary not to miss a beat.

Phil Parker does a phenomenal job of developing DBs, but even he can’t wave a magic wand from one year to the next.

That’s a little harsh, but he should probably only come in on nickel and dime packages.

Cooper ain’t coming back.

So wrong, only one was on him, and he was on an island, admittedly bit

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Hall hasn’t played well, but he’s not the only one making mistakes in the secondary. I’ve honestly been the most disappointed in Castro, he’s missed a lot of tackles because he’s not wrapping up. Lots of room for improvement, but I trust Phil to teach them up.

 

[bansheexyz]

Should probably teach our players to grab when they take the bait hard on these deep routes. Would rather take a penalty.

Moss was really good at that

Last week the announcers were pointing out how much IOWA "sat down" on underneath routes and that they were vulnerable to going long. Eventually ISU caught us. Today it looks like Troy did as well. Phil will coach 'em up hopefully or others will take advantage.

Iowa’s defense has been very “commercial” to date. Nothing exceptional. The biggest disappointment has to be the secondary. They have been exploited, schooled and exposed big time the past couple of weeks. I’m watching Indiana right now…thank God they aren’t on the schedule!

sad. Troy torched Iowa’s secondary and special teams. Would suggest this will be a very difficult season

When Cooper got concussed against Nebraska a couple years ago, TJ Hall came in and got burned twice for the loss.

As a true freshman, he got burned once today, he will grow.

 

[MitchLL]

What makes you think he's going to improve?

One could argue he should have broken up the pass in the end zone against ISU as well.

One could argue he was being aggressive trying to make the interception. He has great coverage on that play.

 

[HawkLogic]

I think Cooper was recognized as a shutdown corner, and playmaker of legendary status. Maybe the backups were overrated in your opinion? I think everyone thought Cooper leaving early was huge loss.

The ISU receiver took the ball from him.

Great play by Higgins, beat a really good play by TJ.

Don't think so Schulte was responsible for the guy running over the middle. Hill bit on that guy and Hill's guy runs right by him.

No, on X, Hawkeye recruiting started it was on Schulte

Hold on, now. How can any of our secondary be expected to defend against the long ball when we have no one on offense who can throw it like that in practice?

 

[MilleGinja]

Pretty sure even Cade could make those two throws today. Of course the receiver might have to stop and wait for the ball, so they probably don’t go for TDs still

Given up more big plays than all of last year.

 

[joelbc1]

Given up more big plays than all of last year.

But at least this team can afford these losses better than teams of the last few years. They have a larger margin of eeeor this year.

 

[uihawk82]

It was a great play design and another receiver was running right at Schulte who had to go with him

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Then fire both Hall AND Schulte.

 

[ItsAllBallBearingsNowadays]

Our entire secondary except Harris has underperformed.

 

[Ladell-hawk]

Hall needs to sit....the dude is a complete liability

38-7 without him

He had a rough day for sure, but on both of those plays there was zero pass rush and the QB sat back in their with time for the receiver to make a double move each time. We need better coverage but we also need a more consistent pass rush.
