Cole Croston

We would probably be undefeated this year and Big 10 champs last year had he came to iowa. Beathard has absolutely no chance.

And a OC who apparently doesn't recognize the struggles on pass protection...and refuses to change anything to help.

CJ is holding the ball a touch too long at times, true...but an even Decent OC would help him out with that as well....
 
I hate to single out a college kid.......Dude is straight up struggling with pass blocking. I realize he is a legacy guy, but I am starting to wonder if there is a better option.

I am surprised at CJ's lack of blind side awareness.......Was it there last year and we(fans) just didn't notice it?
 
I don't think Ross Piersbacher would start over Croston.

Many people don't know this but RP had a conference call with Saban and KF while he was still an Iowa verbal. He asked one question during the call.

"What makes you cry???"

Kirk answered, "I cry when we win. It's really something I never expect."

Saban answered, "I cry when we lose. It's really something I never expect."

He had more than 2.5 seconds to throw the ball last year. While I agree his awareness seems a bit off and he is sometimes holding a bit long or just needs to pull and run...he should be able to have enough faith in his blindside to get a full 3.5 seconds.
 
I agree. Did you misread my post or am I missing something?

Bro, I started misreading all your posts the moment Melrose declared you smarter than prickehawk.

There is no one anywhere smarter than prickehawk. BTW, why isn't he posting more today? Any guesses? Also, I'm a little drunk.

He's still focused on how Jewell is a problem on our defense. He doesn't even hide the troll anymore.

Still breaking down the film looking for reasons to point out why King and Jewell suck and Bower and Croston are awesome.
 
There's a better option. Bench him!!!

I think Alaric Jackson can do a better job. He's a true freshman that rounded out our 2016 class. That might be asking to much, but I'm tired of Croston already. Oh, I forgot Croston is an Iowa kid. Isn't that the direction Kirk is taking this program.

Didn't Ed Cunningham from ESPN call this offensive line the best in college football? I'm not seeing it this year as evidenced in the North Dakota State & Rutgers game.
 
It really hurts our program when there's holes in the roster so players need to step in before they're ready. The reason it hurts so much is they stay the starter until they graduate no matter what. If we didn't have a hole in the roster last year, Croston would have never been a starter. Then this year, they would have chosen the best player for the position instead of continuing with the guy who was only playing out of necessity. He may have been the best option last year. But i's it even possible that no young talent has surpassed him this year?
