Iowa v Indy Two Deeps: Some Changes

[JonDMiller]

No Weisman...Ott is Gaglione's backup, which makes the call to burn his shirt more surprising, to me. Perhaps Kirk's thinking is that he was showing a lot and they feel that he is going to be a key contributor at DE next year and want to get him going so that he can have those reps under him...need to get him reps the rest of the way. I'd pencil Alvis and Ott in as your opening day DE starters next year.

Ott should be getting 50% of snaps from here on out (we will be lucky if he gets a series a game). It would be nice if Spears got some reps as well. Also against Indiana we should be rotating our linebackes especially Alston. Finally our base defense should be switched to include 3 cornerbacks given the offense they run and the 3rd cornerback shouldn't be Castillo.

Pulling Ott's redshirt at this point in the season is very confusing to me.

Why is Rudock on the two-deep if he's not ready for Big Ten football?

 

[UweBlab]

Does this mean that Jake Rudock or any other QB will not be "key contributor" next year??

 

[hawkfarmer]

Why Donatell even gets to play is beyond me.

I agree. Law must make a lot of mistakes in practice. One of the more disappointing developments of a season full of disappointments.

They haven't, yet. He may be listed 2nd string because he has earned 2nd string practice reps. I doubt we'll see him in a game.

Someone has to be there.

He played last week guy.

We landed on the moon...that is great. J/K. I actually missed it in the game because it was only for 3 plays but read about it at length afterwards. Knowing ferentz I bet he hardly plays unless Alvis gets hurt.

Perhaps????

Pic won't load, but it was a dude with his head up his butt.

 

[ICHawk24]

I wish my head was up my butt, then I wouldn't have been able to see the game.

You may been offered a coaching position however

In regards to Ott, he must be clearly outplaying McMinn in practice. McMinn has talent, but needs more weight to fill his 6'-7" frame. Jon's assessment of Kirk seeing Ott opposite of Alvis for week 1 may be very possible. I also wonder if it has anything to do with the Kenny kid decommitting.

Pretty obvious answer there. He's a hard working white walk on. He's a good story.

 

[DexterMorgan]

Because he's older obviously.

 

[DJL]

We might as well put Wienke in at QB, at least he can stay in the game and punt on 4th down.

One of the Gazette guys didn't notice McMinn in uniform and speculated that he is injured. But Ott must be showing a lot to take off the redshirt at this point.
