They have a scrimmage today. That’s the scrimmage they are referring to.
Reading between the lines of the other quotes, and this, I think the coaches are
Maybe we need to remind the rest of the world, defense wins championships. Yeah we need to be able to move the ball, but we only need to move it more then we allow it to be moved. (I know in stats that does not always work out, but you know what I mean.)
No, basically we suck at offense because our OL play has been sub standard. Our wr recruiting was never thought of. Our QB positions was always based on what 1 guy could do, so zero depth or competition. Remember the days when 7 got 6? If we had that with good OL play and the TE room we have, we would be alright. Man I remember watching that fade pass and thinking, it is almost not defendable (without drawing a flag). 1 throw and one wr and it changed many a game. (which is what got my hopes up with the new OC and putting someone with the speed of Wetjen in there catching balls. Drop a fade into his arms while he is in a full run and he is gone gone gone.
I noticed that too and thought it was funny. Dudes only played one full season, so I knew she got him confused with Jackson. Still liked her being in the group. Kind of a breath of fresh air and she was kind of the moderator for the old guys...
I'd be willing to bet we do go 10-2. If we can run the ball, (and I think we will) then with the TE's and ANY WR production we'll be somewhat better on O. The D will be formidable.....
That was 2022. The group discussing Iowa's offense was about as awkward as DeShaun Foster's opening remarks at media days.
Oh, thank God! If there's anything that is comforting when I'm concerned about Iowa's passing game, it's KF letting me know that the QB had a good week of practice....
At Kid’s day he said what we saw during the open practice was what they had seen the first week of camp.
Yeah defense wins championships but you do have to score to actually win a game
That was why I was hoping with some of this speed we keep hearing about, we might be able to get some guys behind some defenses. I mean we have to have someone who can make the throws too,
Well we need guys all over. Across the middle, slants and a deep route. BUT you are right, it would be interesting to see when was the last 5 throws for 20 yards??? Stanzi used to do it all the time. I mean I would guess that the entire defensive backfield is going to try and keep things in front of them and when you go over their head........... they are forced to back up off the los. BUT you have to have some speed and you have to have a qb that can make the throws.
I sure hope the QBs look better Aug 31st than they did on kids’ day. I just know that Spencer and Deacon hold world records for number of good weeks of practice….
I also hope they are better than “we shouldn’t put a QB on the field.”
If the oline can give the qb time to make the deep throw then we will hopefully see it. Seems like whoever the Iowa qb was the last few years was getting planted into the ground on basic pass plays. It’s all on the oline so good to hear they are playing well in camp.
Yeah, that was bad. Hard to throw the ball when you are lying on your back. Hopefully the OL is better (because they were not good the last couple of years) but also hopefully the offensive scheme does not allow a defense to just tee off on 70% of the plays. I think the motion will help with that a little.
Pretty bold statement....Only about 6 conference champions and one national title. So I agree with you....
Always look forward to everyone of your posts and ALL of them negative. Tks.
