HN TV: Full Kids Day Practice Footage
- Thread starter RobHowe
- Start date
If you want to get a sense of what a freak AJE is, watch his sack at around 6:10 in this video. His shed is so quick, poor Kallenberger doesn't even know what happened as AJE gets to the QB in under 2 seconds.
And then again at around 8:45. Hawks are doing goal-line stuff, and AJE has responsibility for the back leaking into the flats. Not only does he recognize the back trying to evade him instead of block him (some Hesse-like awareness there), he spins all 285 lbs of himself on a dime to turn and run with Sargent and forces an errant pass.

It still needs to play out over this season, but I started thinking yesterday while watching him that AJE might be the most gifted Hawkeye I've watched in 22 years covering the team.
Really? Not saying I think you have a dumb take, but it seems like they always rough on kids day.
I got the impression that this is the best they've looked this early in a long time.

This, the defense usually dominates the scrimmage. The offense had a pretty good day compared to past years.
Very good. I have to say I dont usually go to these practices. Seemed like a lot of missed short passes from all QBs, some good run blocking and running and some negative plays. I thought the defense was flying around with some good speed.
I will take the posters' view that they are looking pretty good.
You do realize the defense basically knows what the offense is gonna run, right? No different than telling the opposing D what play you are gonna run. No element of surprise at all. And the O looked pretty good for being so early in.
