Wetjen might not be the most polished route runner, I get that, but, I also have a damn hard time believing that coaches can't design a play or two for a player with special speed/quickness to space, using some deception. There has got to be a way.

So much of the success depends on the assistants as well, look at the 50yrs of assistants that both Fry and Ferentz have had and the consistency they have had. Many stayed on for years. Ferentz has had two top D coordinators who may have been the most help adding to Ferentz's wins in the BIG.

But, to add, Iowa may not have a choice to go out there at this point, unless they were able to buy enough land downtown, raze some buildings and have enough room for parking, but, that would take a lot of space and most likely will not happen. Also, this point is pretty much moot as they just...

The only problem I see is that they already have an issue getting students to cross the river to go to Carver and that has always been a complaint. Now to push it out west near Morman Trek & the Interstate would add to the issue, IMO. Now selfishly, as a 50+ yr old fan, I would luv that area as...

..............................Charlie Jones.

My point is NFL WR's aren't all 6'4" like many think they are. The average was surprisingly shorter on average than I thought. I thought it would be 6' 2" or so. Yea, the roster says he's 5' 9" so is prob 5' 8" but still many WR's have succeeded at that height, and NOT ALL had Manning or Brady...

I disagree a bit. Good route runners can offset that size and wingspan. Quickness and acceleration can offset that. Maybe he lacks with those skills, I dunno but he seems like he could be a Wes Welker kind of player to me. Teach him. Quick guys who run quick routes and not round their routes...

Do you think Lester would stay at OC if Woods were offered the HC job?

Isn't there a damn way Lester or coaches can design a play to get Wetjen a bit downfield in space to receive a pass. On O, it seems they either have a jet sweep, that when the D sees him in motion are going to key on him or a pass to the outside. As Iowa fans, we always cringe at the thought...

Yep, you can teach positioning and tackling, but the players are the one's who have to tackle.

I think so to. I think he got his record this season & that might have been his goal. Well, his goal is obviously to win BIG 10 games, but I think he's pretty content now. When talking about players, he constantly says the same thing ........paraphrase "He's a quality individual. He's a hard...

Yes, they are solid all around which is what is very dangerous and baffling. What that coach has done in 2 years is unbelievable as he had to reconstruct their O-line again this year. He hit the portal. He has done this at pretty much every prior school as well, turning around teams in the...

Iowa City (North Liberty) Lightening

That's money. You always deliver. Lol.

They still have a lot of room to improve and Iowa has improved as the season's have gone on in the past. I'd rather have Phil figure it out on D & improve than rely on the offense to improve. But, to your point, Iowa has had some issues with special teams, D and O this season so there may be too...

My boys played in the 5A C-ship last year! Give you an idea of the area I'm from.

That game felt to me like the coaches knew going into the game they had a very slim chance to pull off a win so pretty much said "F it". They went off script and let Stanley throw all over and early in downs. They called the fake FG, etc. etc. It seems like they just said "What the hell!" and...

It's just one of those easy blanket statements that one can state to try to sound like making or point and with the chance to shit on a coach.
