Iowa v Indiana Game Thread

You do wish you could see it. Alston is really, really playing well. He made the play on the ball that Donatell dropped. Nobody mentioned it, but that was the play.

But I am watching on Rtv.eu.

Nobody on this team can pick up a blitz on this team at all.

I wish Vandenberg would slide more when he scrambles.

I'm buying

JVB has to be far more aware of the corner blitzes. IU exposing a weakness here.

I wish Vandenberg would slide more when he scrambles.

To add to that, he needs to work on his blitz pick up too.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

How does Vandenburg not see that. Yowzer!!

 

[jacknicholson]

Not there however, is this the first punt of the day?

 

[Scorpio]

This is part of James inexperience, he needs to see that. Heck, it even came from his right side.

Yes, it has been bad all year.

 

[CAARHawk]

Yes. He does have to be better. Totally freaking obvious. Iowa will get killed by that later if he doesn't learn.

yep
how you doin' today, Jack?

 

[HawkfaninWA]

Ouch, JVB has to get better on blitz pickup.

 

[cibula11]

He'll get killed by that if he doesn't learn. The two that he missed were low tackles and didn't look great.

All year??? Go back to the Minnesota game two years ago and you will see he never picked up the corner blitz. He needs a ton of work on recognizing that.

 

[tweeterhawk]

That's part of JVB's locking onto receivers too early. Has to see what's coming from the sides, then look down the field, unless he's got a quick dump-off called.

True..it's not just JVB though. The line and FB/RB don't recognize it either.

True it doesn't seem like he goes through all his reads.

Thanks for the Rtv.eu link, Carr. Very nice site.

 

[CAARHawk]

Just watch Alston.
