Anyway you slice it

[iloveyoularrystation]

Not a big fire everybody type guy, but honestly there is no assessment of this team over the last several years in which anyone can say the wide receivers are well coached, getting better, or being successful as a unit. The O-coordinator needs to go, i'm on record, Greg Roman should be the guy, but beyond anything there is no way anyone can justify us not needing to hire a new wr's coach. Players at every position should get better. I don't even mean get better stats or have better results, i just mean get better at the things they're doing. More than anything Kirk you have to let the WR coach go and get somebody new. That unit hasn't been successful and isn't improving.

You just can't keep going on like this offensively, you just can't. The passing scheme is a nightmare

 

[PCHawk]

There is no way Smith, Scheel, Young and Falconer don't have enough talent to get at least 5 catches combined. Our talent might not be great but no way it's "can't catch a single pass" bad.

I agree how is this even possible that we cannot find any receivers that can get open except a gray-shirt from South Dakota that broke his foot and occasionally a walk-on from Dubuque?

This is what I've been saying. We may not have any elite WR, but I still believe we have more of a Davis, scheme, route, playcall, Davis, WR coach problem.

I watched cfb teams with equal or even lesser talent throw the ball, at least some. And most don't have our running game.

Well we did have one California guy who was 6'3" and could high point the football and IIRC was a Juco All-American. But he listened to NWA and showed up 2 minutes late to a meeting once so he had to go.

Okay this was completely uncalled for and I apologize for it.

What I meant to say was a few months ago we had some nice Texas WR verbals . . . but we don't like to stay in touch once they give a verbal, so . . . buh by to guys with talent who think their ego gets the same treatment as the head coaches.

No, were gonna run the ball off left tackle instead. Nobody will expect us to do that.

Stretch left, loss of 2, ballgame.

You mean put a band aid on it?

You are an attention addict.

The only way anything will change is when the donors get fed up. Barta is a puppet and money talks.

I wonder what percentage of Iowa fans expected an off tackle run for a loss on that play...to seal the deal...early?

They're great kids who never make a mistake in practice. Priority one is risk management...always.

There are 60 year old women in our section of Kinnick calling out the play. You can only imagine how easy it is for opposing football coaches and players to defend.

60 yo women have seen Frank Lauterbur and HF. It was good training.

 

[PCHawk]

I thought it would be qb sneak until I saw the formation. I can't put my finger on what gives it away, but when I see them lined up, I know.

Don't forget Bob Commings!

And so does the Defense and their coaches... You can't run that slow delay where the qb spins himself around before handing it off. That had to be a quick hitter just too many big bodies all jammed in there. With that D alignment they had Iowa should have had a pass to a TE called...
