Hillyer getting open plus when T Smith is back

[hawkjunkie]

Would be great to get T. Smith back this week. Both Smith's on the field and it will be suicidal for defenses to load the box.

What is T Smith's specific injury? Do they have a project time frame for recovery?

Hawkjunkie whiner..

I know someone mentioned knee sprain and return after the bye week. Anything new with this?

I agree, but we need to find a way to get a cleaner pocket for CJ. Just hasn't had a lot of time to find receivers.

I don't see that happening until our line is a bit healthier so...I think it would make more sense to throw even more screens. They have been very effective this year and can slow the D down a bit.

I think we'll see some slants and screens this week to punish a hyper aggressive jNW defense.

A couple designed 8 yard QB draws would help keep the D honest. Just sayin' Davis & Ferentz!!

Id like to see us mix in some zone read, not allot but just enough to give the edge rushers something to think about. The way the Seahawks do with Wilson.

CJ has looked great running it in the past and Greg Davis loves the zone read.

Probably wont happen though.

No, not all the time. Both Smiths need not be on the field at the same time all the time. We don't usually have 2 TEs in every pay pass play either. We did have a few 5 wide on pass plays in the Pitt game.

I don't see why Iowa needs 2 possession receivers in at the same time...Meerkat and Hillyer.

Really, we had at least 2 possession receivers in on every pass play last year with another of KF's favorite offensive starters KMM...should I mention KF's propensity to play the bruising, slow fullback/halfback that is lights out on pass protection and can take a beating as most important to KF's offense? QB, fullback/halfback, possession receiver as most used wide receiver - all were KF choices for offense. Never would have seen Canzeri unless everyone else was hurt. Who is going to start at running back once L. Daniels is healthy? Why was L. Daniels chosen as starter in the first place? IMO, KF should lend his interests to things he has expertise.

Take your own advice...

I have yet to see my theories on Iowa's offense proven wrong.

You mean the Wegher-was-chased-off, or the KMM-shouldn't-have-played? Good grief, what have you said "relevant" to this season? One thing (the GD play-calling on the long drive), and as you said, you din't notice "on my TV".

Some facts: Our best WR is injured. He has been replaced by one with similar skills. He is joined by Vandeberg and Hillyer who, though they may "play" possession receiver, are anything but "merely" possession receivers.

Leshun Daniels is in a boot. Until his injury, there was absolutely NOTHING that showed he wasn't deserving to be the 1st-line RB.

Your "theories" are nothing more than "KF is incompetent". Thus far, your a&& has been blown up this season.

Yes, IMO, Wegher got chased off. No, I didn't say KMM shouldn't have played but I did say KMM shouldn't have been the primary pass receiver for Iowa. My theories are that KF is incompetent on offense, but thanks to KF giving more responsibility to other coaches, Iowa's offense is more potent. At least we're returning punts now.

I will certainly agree with what I <<<bracketed>>>
