Someone with a twitter tweet at those guys ... SCOREBOARD
I can see what you mean but not necessarily. I am 30 and still do a ton of cleans, squats, snatches and jerks and my joints are healthier than they ever have been since football. More than anything he will probably feel the affects of the hits he takes on the field... which comes with the territory.

Doyle wouldn't waste Vin's blazing speed on the line. Either line.

I have heard he can run almost 25 yards in less than 10 seconds.

The one thing is has me worried about all of this is how is his hand speed and speed off of the hike of the ball? He needs to be able stop the guy across from him and keep him off of the quarterback. Remember how much we all loved the 2009 Clayborn but after putting on a bunch of mass and muscle for 2010, he got slowed down and his numbers where way down. All I want is a great offensive lineman who keeps the qb clean.

IMO, i think your clayborn analysis is off. if it were correct, one would assume he'd be doing worse in the nfl - i would have to assume he is still getting bigger, faster, stronger in that league, facing faster, stronger players....as with any player that makes it to the next level.
it's an old wife's tale that adding muscle slows one down, or makes one 'less quick'. after all, it is muscle that moves the body. if it was the opposite, the NFL wouldn't be the premier league that it is. we always here about players who will 'get bigger/stronger' in the nfl.
in this specific instance, this exercise develops explosive power - which will develop just what you are looking for...

Big Ten network just had the 2010 Iowa Northwestern game on. They showed most of the defensive line on the sidelines sucking wind. I realize that chasing after Kafka would make anyone suck wind but they didn't do that in 2009 so...

The d-line had to play LB in 2010. That's what scares me about this year. In 2006 and 2010 when we turned over the LBs and had really good guys graduate, the defense failed to make those clutch plays that kept the team in games. It will be interesting to see how Phil does things differently than Norm did in those years bince Norm typically played a base 4-3 that required a LB to get darn near a year of PT before he developed the sense of where he needed to be in pass coverage.

2005 called and wants you to analyze that year's defense...

Thanks for the wonderful answer Ankle, the only problem is that I was in the Persian Gulf guarding shipping lanes during the 2005 football season and never saw or even heard about the games other then the scores. I was home in 2010 and got to see most of the games. I did take a look back at the results and other then ISU and OSU games, we really were not blown out at all. I did come back from my deployment with enough time to hear the prebowl game talk about how if we won the bowl it would clear the bad taste in the Hawk fans mouth of the season. However that was the game where the Sun Bowl Conference refs who where running around the field with white canes. See the You Tube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn5E2clVsGw.

Losing Nielsen, Hunter and Tarp to injury did really impact our defense in 2010. Morris was a true frosh, and Johnson was very slow....we could not get off the field in some of those games late in the year, and it was not the d-lines fault. OSU, NW and even Wis picked us apart on short underneath routes...Johnson could not cover like the starters. We need to hope and pray for good health this year and that the new lbers figure it out quick.

Yeah, 2005 started pretty sketchy, but they got better as the line improved. It was a huge dropoff from 2004, no doubt.

Injuries really decimated that 2010 team. I have gone through it before, but Tarp and Nielsen were perfect compliments for the dink and dunk spread teams. Had they remained healthy, I think Iowa beats NW and runs the table the rest of the way and goes 10-2.
Here is something I wrote at the end of the 2010 season...that team was as talented 1-22 as any of the best Iowa teams of my lifetime...but the depth was thin:
AUGUST
-Brandon Wegher shows up for a couple of practices, then leaves the team for personal reasons, never to return. What effect did this have on team chemistry? We know what effect it had on the depth chart.
-A few days into camp, Marcus Coker breaks his collar bone, keeping him on the sidelines all of camp and the early portion of the season, which is significant for a young player who would later be called upon. Very significant, especially in areas like pass protection, where trust is most definitely earned.
-RG Adam Gettis injured, something that would linger
-PK Dan Murray injures his hip, would not play in 2010.
SEPTEMBER
-Backup OL Josh Koeppel was hit by a truck while riding his moped. He was in a battle for the starting center position, and this was just before the season opener
-OG Cody Hundertmark leaves the team. He was listed as the reserve right guard behind Adam Gettis on the Eastern Illinois two-deep roster which came out on August 27th. Iowa’s first practice of the EIU game week was Tuesday the 31st. On Wednesday September 1st, Iowa released a statement saying Hundertmark was leaving. This was in part because Nolan MacMillan had passed him by and was going to start the EIU game. This was something that didn’t seem big at the time but would have consequences eight weeks later.
-Norm Parker undergoes surgery and has a foot amputated following the Iowa State game. He never returns in full capacity as Iowa’s Defensive Coordinator
-Jeff Tarpinian suffers an injury that would reverberate throughout the rest of the season. The staff had incredibly high expectations for Tarp, who would have been nails in pass defense situations.
-His backup, Bruce Davis, suffers a season ending knee injury against Arizona
-Jewel Hampton injures his knee against Arizona, lost for the season
-Jason White injured covering a kick. He was an emerging kickoff coverage star
-Mike Meyer wins place kicking job, affects his distance on kickoffs later in the year
OCTOBER
-Brett Morse misses Michigan game due to injury suffered against Penn State
-Jeremiha Hunter is injured and misses a game, never 100% after
-Tyler Nielsen cracks a vertebrae, lost for the year; he had been doing an excellent job in pass coverage and open field tackling on the edge
-Troy Johnson injured, was in and out of the lineup the rest of the year
-James Morris and Shane DiBona pulled from kickoff coverage due to being on LB depth chart
-Iowa starts a true freshman MLB for majority of season due to Tarp & Davis injuries; Morris was good beyond his age, but pass coverage was an issue late
-Gettis and Nolan MacMillan injured, did not return to action the rest of the regular season
-Walk on Josh Koeppel starts RG for final third of season. With Hundertmark gone, Iowa was starting their 4th string RG for the final four games of the year.
-Adam Robinson suffers first concussion, misses Indiana game, never really the same afterward; is it coincidence that Ricky Stanzi’s performance tailed over his last four games, the four games after the injury to Robinson, which occurred with Robinson getting hurt in the fourth quarter of the MSU game up 37-6? Robinson is one of the best blocking running backs I have seen play at Iowa.
-Dakota Getz injured, had been a key player on special teams coverage units and might have been a factor later in the year at Iowa’s ‘LEO’ LB position after Tyler Nielsen was injured along with Troy Johnson’s injuries. Kirk Ferentz said the week before the Indiana game that Getz would have been the LEO option had he not been injured.
-Adrian Clayborn injures leg against Wisconsin; was he the same after that injury? Check out this photo of the play I am speaking of
-Julian Vandervelde injured, forced some reshuffling of the line for a brief period
NOVEMBER
-Ross Peterson began playing a role at linebacker in the Indiana game, as well as against Ohio State and Northwestern. He was at least the 10th linebacker Iowa was forced to use this year in plays from scrimmage.
-DJK & Marvin McNutt both suffer injuries in at least two games, but don’t miss any games
-Colin Sandeman injured against Northwestern, missed Ohio State game & taken off punt return game for Minnesota.
-Robinson concussed for second time against Ohio State, misses game against Minnesota
-Iowa loses both starting cornerbacks in game vs Minnesota, including 1st Team All Big Ten Shaun Prater
COACHING DECISIONS
-End of game situation against Wisconsin, of which Kirk Ferentz said the following: “Well, in retrospect, I wish we had clocked it quite frankly. And we had an 11‑seconds play in there, which is interesting, the one where Reisner ran out of bounds, that took 11 second, part of our thought and for whatever, the sneak took one second, I’m not so sure that happened. We thought the clock was going to be down under ten when ‑‑ after the sneak. That was our thinking. Retrospect, I wish we had clocked it. I think we ended up with 12 on the clock after the sneak. I’m not sure how that happened. But anyway, that was part of the thinking. Retrospect, I wish I had done it over, could do over. I can’t. So, live with it.”
-Ferentz would also joke later in the year that he needed to read the book on time management.
-The fake punt that Wisconsin converted late in the game after the defense had forced a second straight stand in the fourth quarter
-The decision to have Adam Robinson in the game in the fourth quarter of the MSU game up 37-6, which is when he suffered his first concussion.
SPECIAL TEAMS
-Blocked PAT’s vs Arizona (could have taken a 28-27 4th quarter lead) and Wisconsin (one-point loss)
-Offsides on a kickoff against Wisconsin where Iowa covered Gilreath inside the Badger 20, only to rekick and he returned it to the 50
-Blocked punt against Arizona
-Kickoff return for TD vs Arizona, poor kickoff coverage for most of the year. Injuries affected this later in the season
-Missed 40 yard field goal against Ohio State in a three-point loss

Agree, and I think Phil is much more aggressive. We saw that last year, but he had the horses at LB to do it. I think this year's DL might be able to get more pressure with just the front four...I think LTP could go off as Carl is going to demand double teams. If Iowa can get ANYTHING from DE pass rush, I think they should be able to somewhat control the run with the inside guys....turn the LB's loose a bit and wreak some havoc.
