PARKER & O'KEEFE PRESSER NOTES (FINISHED)
- Thread starter JonDMiller
- Start date
I read that as Sash and Greenwood are going to be better than Sash and Greenwood were last year.

This is the problem with transcripts. I read it like Jumper the first time, but now your interpretation seems more reasonable.

He was not mentioned by name, just that a frosh TE might have a chance.

But I do think that they could be better. Is Sash as good as Sanders? Maybe, in his own right. Sash is a ballhawk who can hit quite a bit too, Sanders was a hitter with a nose for the ball. I hope people can decipher the slight difference there. I do think that Greenwood is better than Considine (and that says quite a bit to me, I always really liked Considine). Just as good in coverage, and a harder hitter.
So Sash/Greenwood I think is at least close to Sanders/Considine. By the end of the year, I really think we might be saying that they're the best safety tandem we've ever had.

Gotta love this response, classic Norm Parker
How often can you do this?
I will probably croak on the field some day. I hope we are ahead when I do.
That one gave me a good chuckle too. If that happens ... I hope we're ahead too! LOL!

We'd need to be ahead lol. For some reason I get the feeling that our defense would collapse without Norm there. It'd be like ObiWan without the Force haha.

Considine was an amazing special teams player. How many punt blocks did he have, 3 or 4 in his career? I'm not even sure Greenwood plays special teams.

I'd wager Morris might have a chance, too.
Sounds like Derby is coming along well. Could he be on special teams this fall?

But that doesn't say anything about their ability at safety, which is all I'm talking about right now. Those two pairs, playing the back-end of the defense, are pretty equal right now. Considine added special teams as well, but that also probably had to do with the fact that he started out as a walk-on who made a name for himself on special teams. Sash and Greenwood were both thrust into starting roles as freshman.
I think Sash is pretty close to Sanders. However, I think Greenwood is definitely a level below those guys. Greenwood is pretty solid all around, but not exceptional in any area. I think Considine was significantly better than Greenwood in pass coverage. Considine covered more ground. He could also turn and run with a WR, and he could turn around and make a play on the ball. Greenwood hasn't shown that ability. I'd also describe Greenwood as "adequate" against the run. He usually makes the tackles he needs to make. Considine might have been a bit better in that area.

I'd really like to be able to see tape so I could make better judgements. Like I said, Considine was always (and still is) one of my favorites, so it's not like I've got something against him or anything. But I'd love to compare on tape.
Drooling is right. Loved what they ahd to say in regards to the OL, especially Zuse. If thsoe guys can block this year look out. Defense sounded great, as expected. Klug getting soem preaise was nice. I would have liked to hear a little more confidence on tarp but don't think it was a knock by any means. Really like what they were saying about Cotton, I think him and Davis will end up making up one of the great Iowa WR tandems in a few years. But DJK and McNutt could be one of the greats this year! Can't wait for September
