Daniels

Eda said:
About the in game touches: Disagreed. It is a strength issue. He needs to hang with Doyle and put on the weight. From reports, has had trouble maintaining weight (especially during the season) and doesn't have the strength to hang on to the the ball while taking hits. The dude needs to hang with Doyle, not get more in game touches.

Fine. But we need RB depth, so someone needs in game touches. We have 1 healthy, experienced RB, and he can't be getting 25+ carries. Some combination of Daniels, Canzeri, Mitchell, and ?....

2 of those 3 are dinged to some degree...so, who is gonna be the depth?

I agree we need some depth for sure. I'm hoping Daniels is just a slight doing, and he's back soon. That 25 yd run on the second drive was awesome! He pushed a would be tackler 10 yards back before going down!! Lol'n beast!!

He needs to work on his ball carrying technique and not be careless with the ball. The fumbles I see like last week he was getting the ball away from his body with one arm & out pops the ball.
 
What about Derrick Mitchell? I thought he was making great progress in camp & moving up the depth chart to possibly 3rd or 4th.

That's what I was thinking. Why no mention of Derrick Mitchell? In the scrimmages, I thought this kid was the most complete back.

Mitchell went to Ames and was driven back to Iowa City by an assistant prior to Saturday's game, this much seems certain. There are rumors on this right now, and a thread on this was deleted earlier tonight so I won't speculate any further.

Mitchell also wasn't mentioned in the video interview with Ferentz from earlier today.

Well something fishy seems to be going on. Not sure what. I always wondered why Ferentz and co. never went after Cedar Rapids' own Notti Boy. He's got the size, speed, and quick wit needed in our zone blocking scheme. I imagine he still has 4 years of eligibility. "...And who says all we got up in this state is corn?"

Do we have any fullbacks we can convert to HB? I hear they are great a something called a stretch run.....especially to the short side of the field

You watch your mouth! ;) Seriously tho, I want the last 3 years of RB to be forgotten. If we have to go Brownlee style and let CJB throw us to victory, then that is the way it should be...
