    Projected 2012 starters

    I am with Foval and Hawkfarmer on this- the 3-4 is a bad idea for the personnel that Iowa has currently and is currently bringing in. Is it possible? Only if Aiken is brought in to be the DC as he has experience with the hybrid 3-4 front with Arizona. If either Parker or Wilson is promoted...

    looking at next years offense

    This year, CJF was apparently lost (in his mind? is he not really that bright? WTF?) on the field most of the time. Herman is slower than many guards and tackles! FBs just do not catch well these days at Iowa. Remember Lew Montgomery? We don't have one>>>> from DarthKinnick Your analysis of...

    Will we ever get to the Rose Bowl under the current staff?

    Re: By the way, Cory, I am unsure of something. There is a lot of truth in this, but I actually think that the divisional format makes it easier for Iowa to get in. If they win the division they will likely be matched up with Ohio State for the foreseeable future, but upsets happen in...

    Will JVB get drafted?

    I agree with this somewhat. In 2004 Iowa had to be creative, but that offense was not really good, the defense made the team that season. 2005 may truly be the best offense Iowa has ever had because 2002 was just such a fluke. That team avoided turnovers, was extremely efficient and had great...

    Will JVB get drafted?

    Wow disagree, huge here. I don't think KOK is a great OC or QB coach. JVB has legit issues with footwork- that is a QB coach's responsibility. I think KOK specifically and the staff in general are too into the Macro. Also with his play-calling he often sets up the offense and QBs...

    Will JVB get drafted?

    Yes and higher than Stanzi as well. It is easy to pick apart JVB for the things that went wrong this season. He has three things to improve- poise, anticipation and pocket presence. He has shown since his very first action against Northwestern solid decision making skills, his arm strength is...

    2012 Defense

    We have the wrong style of lineman to pay a 3-4. LSU or Alabama can do it, we cannot right now. Who are the three athletic 6-5 300 lb lineman on the roster? It sounds good in theory but would be awful in actual life.

    2012 Defense

    It is really tough to project who plays where next season- especially on the d-line. Alvis would seem to be locked into a spot whenever he is full strength. Bigach will start somewhere but I think he is what he is. There isn't a ton of room for growth for him. He could play anywhere on the...

    looking at next years offense

    The O-line is the key. If MacMillan can come back he will be the left tackle. He has the best feet and athleticism of the players we have seen. If he can't then someone out of the group of Donnal, Scherff, or Van Sloten will have that job. Each of those players has a shot at RT for next...
