Not true, Wadley only has one career receiving TD.
Maybe you should do some research before you run your mouth. Wadley had a receiving TD last year in the Rose Bowl and earlier this year against Iowa State. Last time I checked 2 > 1.

Ferentz never compliments Wadley. He makes snarkey comments about players he does not care for IMO.
Similar to when he was happy and relieved that KMM did not break Nile Kinnicks return record a few years ago. Pretty much explains why he never has and never will have the killer instinct to succeed.

It was..Kirk with a quick wit smart a$$ remark at the young mans expense.. basically saying he would be happier with him being over 190lbs than over 170 yards rushing.. I get it but couldn't he have found something different to say about him than that?? Wtf ?!?! Kid had a good day and Kirk adds in a little jab to him being a light weight... I guess if Brandon Snyder and Bo Bower fit his size and weight standards they can miss tackles and take poor angles and get out ran with out the zingers by good ole coach..
Are you serious? I read the quote before seeing this post and read his comments completely the opposite. Seems like he wants him to get to 190 lbs., so??? He gives him some good natured grief as the kid can never keep weight on.
AW seems like a great kid and teammate. I don't know why anyone thinks KF would be talking down about him.
Seriously, you don't understand the kirk was trying to say that if he weighed 190 pounds he would be happier because he could give him the ball more?Nah that's not the case all.. But you know what? He actually could have kept his mouth shut if that kinda stuff is gonna come out of it thou.. Just talk about the play calling or lack there of or how well the line blocked instead of little guy jokes about the little guy with big yards on little carries! Those kinda comments my sit well with some but I don't care for them.. Thanks
Sure he would.Seriously, you don't understand the kirk was trying to say that if he weighed 190 pounds he would be happier because he could give him the ball more?

I agree, but will the powers that be allow him to be a captain? He should be, as he has shown through his actions that he does what the coaching staff ask of him and he isn't afraid to show some swag out there. The swag part might deny him being a captain though.Wadley will be a leader of the football team next year and a good one
You realize we had Canzeri last year? You realize Wadley hurt his knee earlier in the year? I think everyone knows Wadley is the better runner, and I think KF is just saying he wishes he weighed a bit more to be able to take some of this punishment. We've also been running two RB's every year since I can remember, it's KF's thing. Jesus, this board will bitch about anything.Sure he would.
He's had INSURMOUNTABLE evidence for at least 2 years now that maybe, just maybe Akrum Wadley should get the ball more. Let's see............ he's faster, he hits the hole harder, he breaks more tackles, he doesn't get caught from behind, he's a better receiver, he doesn't fumble, so apparently he comes out of every game barely being able to breathe, what with being so fragile and all.
If Wadley got over 1/2 of Daniels carries he'd absolutely blow Daniels numbers out of the water (you watch the holes that Daniels has on his long runs, and try to tell me Wadley doesn't score on the majority of them - he does). Daniels is a good complimentary back, and a fine player in his own right. Wadley is a game-changer. Big difference.
But I only get to watch Wadley in games, to compare him to the rest of our running backs. He's so far ahead of everybody else in games it's scary, so he must be a piss-poor practice player......................................
I don't care what Kirk says, to the media, to his Wife, to his Kids, as long as he's playing his best Football players at all times. Everyone can decide for themselves how he does in that category...........
That's because Kirk Ferentz is an arrogant prick. Take a look at his son, Brian. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.Ferentz never compliments Wadley. He makes snarkey comments about players he does not care for IMO.

Best back in the B1G? C'mon...
Sure he would.

It's a good thing you aren't a B1G coach then. You'd be Hazell'd right about now.Uhhhh, yea, and I stand by that. Some of his smaller runs are the most impressive with his ability to cut and stop/start. Yes, I think he could start on ALL B1G teams........Of course, this is just my opinion. However, I can't stress enough that Akrum's ability to stop/start, vision, break tackles and breakaway speed are rare.........Plus, he runs bigger than his weight........Again, just my opinion.......
SHOULD BE SPLIT WIDE TO CATCH PASSES!!! OPEN FIELD UP.STOP THE HARD BLITZING THEY WILL DO.A DECOY IS A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE LOOKED AFTER.Uhhhh, yea, and I stand by that.

If you mean "beat up" as in a little tired after averaging 12+ yards a carry and romping all over the Field, then I MIGHT agree with you.Hell, it looked like Wadley was a bit beat up late in the game Saturday. Careful what you wish for...
Wadley at 20-25 carries and Daniels at 5 to 10 is less overall effective than a roughly equal split imho. The only change I would suggest is to make sure Wadley is in on every series. If I recall, NDSU, every drive Wadley didn't get a touch produced exactly 1 first down the entire game.
The other 3 drives he got touches, all TD's.
Gotta mix them up, but equally...
I agree and I do not understand that mind-set. I am loyal to the Hawkeyes not any coach especially when they are average or worse.It is sad that there is such a large amount of Hawk fans that are bigger Kirk fans than Iowa fans.
It's sadder that a contingent amount of our fans are so set to scrutinize anything he does, especially a strategy that netted us 326 yards of rushing between our RB's in three quarters! Don't underestimate the toll it takes on a defense tackling Daniels all game.It is sad that there is such a large amount of Hawk fans that are bigger Kirk fans than Iowa fans.
You sound like a big Purdue fan lol.It's sadder that a contingent amount of our fans are so set to scrutinize anything he does, especially a strategy that netted us 326 yards of rushing between our RB's in three quarters! Don't underestimate the toll it takes on a defense tackling Daniels all game.
How does what you said, make any sense Glen?You sound like a big Purdue fan lol.
Freaken A. Bunch of thin skinned women looking for anything to gripe about. Some must not hang out with a posse. We always crack on each other, all in good fun.And people wonder why KF doesn't say anything at press conf. Because fans can't handle it
