Official "Iowa Hawkeyes vs. UGDR" (Under Ground Dwelling Rodents) Thread

[vork22]

Nah, we got them chumps

They are balling against Ohio State and I don’t like the state of our defense or running game. Indiana could be a loss in my opinion.

Does anyone know if the B1G can reverse Jones having to miss next week? That wasn't targeting at all.

 

[1hawkeye1]

ATTENTION ROOM: Everyone who defends Amani Jones.....there you go. There you go.As i said before. That shouldn't have been targeting, but, he's the wrong kind of energy at times. I like his physical play..but...unreliable

I've had a few myself, but sheeeesh, I can't even decipher what you are trying to say, LOL

 

[proudhawkfan21]

Huh?

His actions after, just watch him. He is not focused. On the sidelines, after the ejection. Im not saying he's a bad person at all. Its just that he seems to have energies that dont remind me of a field general intense focused MLB. Just my opinion i guess. He acts like a defensive back or nfl wide receiver, not an intensely focused team leader at MLB. Im guessing the staff sees it too.

They all could be losses. We balled against OSU last year too.

Gonna need a # of young guys to step up.

Minimize the mistakes and turnovers...I like our chances.

 

[Northside Hawk]

who is up at MLB?

I think by the letter of the rule Jones would only miss the first half. But not smart either way.

See my previous reply. A football coach would understand what im saying. As would an NFL evaluator .

 

[ClintonIAfan]

Iowa should file a formal complaint to reverse Jones' first half suspension next week. That was clearly a clean hit shoulder to shoulder. This miscarriage of justice should not be allowed to stand.

 

[EstronHawkKing]

Amani lead with his shoulder, he hit the player just under his shoulder. The refs called targeting just because of how hard Amani hit him, which is BS!! He also hit the player like two seconds after he didn't catch the ball, going that fast you cant just pull up. This is a huge problem in the NFL as well. The Packers have paid twice for it

Not smart on the part of the officials you mean?

 

[proudhawkfan21]

Yea, soccer moms and dads are ruining football

 

[ClintonIAfan]

There was no contact to the helmet, there was no launching. The hit dis not meet the definition of targeting.

Hes a high energy guy that is is dialed to 11 all the time. He doesn't have the mental aspect Jewell has(few do), but I dont think its lack of focus. Agree to disagree.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Absolutely! It's like a baseball umpire deciding that he's going to add four inches off the outside corner in a crucial part of the game.

Not really, but when you have a slow motion replay show you that it doesn't meet any definition of targeting...you dont call targeting.

 

[thedukeofearl]

NEVER send balls a Hooker's way if you dont wanna get F'd

Nice

Everything you say is accurate, but that is where the sport is right now.

To be fair, Jewell once got tossed for targeting on opening kickoff. But point well taken. We don't seem as cerebral on defense this year and Jewell was a big part of that and is a big part of why he's in the NFL.

So who starts against Maryland?
