How important is it for the backups to get touches against North Texas?

[Joshbrown]

Need to get the backups some touches before the conference season

Will they sit Josey and let his ankle heal?

I would. He (Jewel) probably won't. Maybe should get Ed Cunningham's approval first?

It's imperative for 2nd unit players to get a lot of reps vs. NT. Score is irrelevant. They need reps. But this has been stated for years.

Didn't Dafney get injured as well?

Looked to me like they were holding his left hand, like maybe he broke a finger or dislocated something.

reps for the scrubs never hurts because it means Iowa's kicking the crap out of a team and you may just find some guy who proves himself to be a gamer.

I am a huge advocate for getting backups in any game you can. Reps, reps, reps.

It'd sure be nice to get up big early and limit Wadleys touches. He's gotten more than I thought he would the first two games... Defensively for sure being able to rotate more guys in for reps would be great too. But as far as O goes Wadley is the main one I'm worried about

I may be wrong but I thought code said something about his Achilles

Toren doesn't have any carries yet. If he's JB's backup, he needs reps. IKM was used on KO's. If he's AW's backup, he needs reps. It would be very short-sighted to think you can go an entire season without injury to JB and AW. Same at qb and lb. All other positions seem to be rotating 2-deeps as a matter of course.

I thought it was Ike who may have an achilles. Has Wirfs taken any snaps, yet, this season?

 

[AreWeThereYet]

Some guys need the repetitions. Some need to get a bit of a rest. I would be tempted to sit Jewell the week and let the ankle heal. Bazata, A. Nelson, Bower, J. Jackson, and A. Wadley could take a break early. Quarterback and receivers need work even though they have been doing well.

 

[IndianaHawk]

Most of all, I want to see us put away someone early.

That's a good question. I have some trepidation about scrolling further for the answer, but I'll brave it.

Reply 2 looks rational.

3rd adult in a row. Let my luck hold Lord.

Info I didn't have. Thanx for sharing.

Agreed.

Absolutely.

Nothing to disagree with here.
