Desmond King: Iowa "outcoached"

DJK. Adam Robinson. Brandon Wehger. Derek Willes. Tevaun Smith. Benny Sapp. Emmanuel Ogwo. All talented atheletes. All kicked off or underutilized. Many because of their "lip" or attitude. That's the last 8 years. You could argue Brad Banks ahould have started an additional year.

Other than Dallas Clark, and Shaun Greene, Iowa hasn't had any skilled position players make the NFL and play. Name your 400.

Huh? I suppose these guys don't count as "skilled position players"? CJ Fiedorowicz, Brandon Myers, Mycah Hyde, Bob Sanders, Chad Greenway, Christian Kirsey, Anthony Hitchens, Tyler Sash, Pat Angerer, Amari Speivey, Tony Moeaki, Bradley Fletcher, Charles Godfrey, Scott Chandler, Nate Kaeding.
 
Maybe he is, and things would be far worse if he wasn't.

That's funny because I don't see him doing it in person during games. Sure his own performance is great. Is he a vocal team leader? I don't see it. I've heard this on the local ESPN radio shows and I see the same. I see about half the guys that don't look motivated whatsoever. no urgency.

At what point in a game does one get tired of getting one's ass kicked and start firing back with intensity? Seems like half go the opposite direction.
 
They need to reshuffle O line and put Render in at C and Welsh and Daniels at G and Boettger and Myers at T. Try that combo for a game.

Daniels is too good of a center to move him and Render is strictly a guard. But they do need to something at LT.

Frankly, I think too many of these guys they would be experiencing a cakewalk this season. The ISU game didn't help. But once someone hit back, they weren't prepared to keep fighting. Think Mike Tyson vs. Buster Douglas.
 
The rest of the story, FWIW........
