Changes we need to make:
1. Move welsh to LT
2. Bo bower replaced by mends
3. CJ must run football
4. Stop stupid penalties
5. Run the freakin ball more
6. Blitz
7. Play on d all the time with urgency
8. Akrum needs twenty touches
9. Use TE

Seems like simple stuff but our coaches refuse to adjust it seems

Didn't Welsh play LT last year against NW? That worked out pretty well. Let's move the best OL to LT, Welsh, even if he is a guard, not sure any of them are true tackles.

That's the problem they are all guards.
 
Changes won't happen, our starters just have to execute better.

Davis may "retire" after this year, but do we really want KF to make the next hire? Assuming it's not his son. And why would we want his son as a OC? Not sure he's shown anything as a coach. The guys on the line have regressed, not better

This program stays exactly as is until KF (and BF) are gone.
 
Didn't Myers work effectively at LT?..Croston is just a physical liability..esp. if staff refuses to give him any help..felt sorry for him...sometimes you're just not good enough..blame coaches for it..I'm sure he feels like hell..
 
I think this is a classic case of over-reaction after a close game. The Hawks are 1-1 in conference and have a path to the Conference Championship and a New Years Six Game. Total control of their own destiny. We just have to execute a little better and do the basics like block and tackle good. Just watch by the end of the season we will look back and laugh at this week.
 
If the staff is truly committed to turning this dumpster fire around, then we'd better see depth chart adjustments:

1. Welsh to LT, Croston to LG, Myers to RG
2. Mends to WLB
3. Gair or Gervase to FS
4. Any big body that's willing to fight at both DT spots
5. Fant to the other TE

In addition, we need to commit to at least 45 rushing attempts and mix in counters and other misdirection rushing plays to take advantage of the opposing front 7 committing to the flow of our zone running plays. And if you know defenses are going to bring the house on 3rd down, then screens and slants are your friend!

Miami (Ohio) rushing high this season was 158 yards at Iowa. The last 3 weeks Miami has combined to rush for 183 yards vs. WKU, Cinn & Ohio.

LOL!!! Simple stuff, lol.
1. Welsh is no LT and that won't help CJ's incredibly slow reads...and total lack of pocket presence.
2. Here we go again with the Bo Bower thing again. He is one of the LEAST of our defensive problems and has probably been the most consistent on defense this year. Have you seen our D-line? Have you seen how bad Taylor has played this year? Etc, etc. etc......
3. CJ needs to make quicker reads and decisions, period!
4. Really? Thanks for that wonderful nugget, lol..
5. At 1.7 yds. a carry, how can we run it more?
6. We are blitzing. Try to stay sober when you watch the games. We blitzed both Taylor and Jewell and we blow coverage and they score a long TD pass. OH, and we blitzed Jewell on the 1st TD pass, but he BLEW contain, let the QB roll out and hit the receiver that Taylor lost, in the back of the endzone. And we blitzed many more times, but their QB doesn't stand there holding the ball and looking lost.....
7. The D needs to make the right reads, get in their gaps and get off blocks!!!
8. He 'touched' it 15 times and averaged 2.4 yds. each time he did. Those 5 extra times (touches) would have got us an extra 12 yds. LOL....PROBLEM SOLVED, LOL.....
9. Use them for what? We had at least one of them in on every play.....
Do some of you really mean to be taken seriously when you post stuff like this? You have no idea what 'changes' need to be made to turn this around and from your list, I can see you have no idea what the 'problems' are. But thanks for giving me a good laugh......

It is simply amazing to me that people have no idea what the problems are, but throw out these hairbrain 'opinions' anyway. You have NO idea what the sam hill you are talking about....OUR ALLEGED SUPERSTARS ARE PLAYING LIKE SHIT, for starters. Jewell makes lots of tackles, but is blowing plays right and left. Blew contain on a blitz allowing the QB to roll out and hit the WR in the endzone, stupid facemask to help a drive, didn't 'fit' his gap and gave up the long TD run....I can go on and on about others (King' blown coverage, Taylor's really bad plays AGAIN, CJ's HORRIBLE reads (he has checkdowns but he is so slow in his progressions, he never gets to them. exp: Look at Mitchell on the last play they ran!!!) etc. etc. etc., and the 'film' supports everything I see and say...I'm no CGI master, lol....

No, Welsh played RT, Croston played LT.... Boettger is a 'true' Right Tackle, but I don't know if he could play LT......

If this happens, expect quite a few empty seats.

I have to correct you as the jNW blocker had his hand around Jewell's outside shoulder keeping him from containing.

Got to keep your outside shoulder 'clean' my friend. poor technique is no excuse.......These are the 'little' things that the coaches keep talking about...........
 
Everything starts with the lines. Both lines are underperforming. Start there. Fix the offensive line, then the running game starts to work. The running games gets to be a threat, the passing opens up.

Fix the defensive line. Get a pass rush. Force teams to long 3rd downs. Getting some 3 and outs gives Iowa's offense more time on the field.
Filling the gaps gives the linebackers and secondary time to react before the runner is in the second level.

Need Kirk 3.0 to show up

Lol,

Maybe Kirk needs to talk to the people over at the Apple Corporation. "Hey you guys have a faster processor over there? Mine's not keeping up with speed of play." :D

"My offensive coordinator also needs a hard drive. He's been trying to put one together all season and he doesn't have the right parts to do it." :D
