Ragaini let the ball bounce a lot. It was pretty bad.9/96 over five games isn’t terrible. WhyTF did they switch to Cooper?

They switched to Cooper because Rigatoni wasn't even attempting to catch the ball after he had muffed a couple and was scared shitless and it over and over caused terrible field position.9/96 over five games isn’t terrible. WhyTF did they switch to Cooper?
Well this is stupid. What has Jones shown as a receiver?I like Ragaini, but am I wrong in saying Jones should be getting no less than 50% of Ragaini's snaps?
He looked pretty good running that reverse last weekWell this is stupid. What has Jones shown as a receiver?
In the last 8 games they had 42 punt return chances. They ended up with 6 returns for 25 yards.They switched to Cooper because Rigatoni wasn't even attempting to catch the ball after he had muffed a couple and was scared shitless and it over and over caused terrible field position.
The 2019 team was constantly buried on their own end because our punt returners were terrible.
At Iowa not much, but just based off his punt returns I'd like to see the ball in his hands a little more.Well this is stupid. What has Jones shown as a receiver?
Noah Fant was in Denver last year.The play where they threw the fade to Cooper in The Red Zone in a key game last year whilst Noah Fant sat comfortably on the bench rates right up there with the Wisconsin fake punt as far as I'm concerned
I agree, the game where Fant checked himself out and decided to no-show was a travesty.The play where they threw the fade to Cooper in The Red Zone in a key game last year whilst Noah Fant sat comfortably on the bench rates right up there with the Wisconsin fake punt as far as I'm concerned

I think visiting NFL players are supposed to sit on the bench.The play where they threw the fade to Cooper in The Red Zone in a key game last year whilst Noah Fant sat comfortably on the bench rates right up there with the Wisconsin fake punt as far as I'm concerned
Ok, 2 years ago. At my age, years fade into each otherNoah Fant was in Denver last year.
I wonder if Nico too could make catches against Bowling Green and Kent State. There's a lot to like about Jones but it remains to be seen if he can get open in the Big Ten.
I like Ragaini, but Jones should be on the field too.
On the bench?Noah Fant was in Denver last year.
Which... is why some of us want to see him on the field more.I wonder if Nico too could make catches against Bowling Green and Kent State. There's a lot to like about Jones but it remains to be seen if he can get open in the Big Ten.
Ah, the ol the coaches don't play the best players argument. You win.Which... is why some of us want to see him on the field more.
They put him on the field and gave him the ball. He ended up winning Big Ten Special Teams player of the week and also had 2 great carries on the jet sweep.Ah, the ol the coaches don't play the best players argument. You win.
Hudson, Mathews and Vines will also be in the mix.I really hope that Brandon Smith comes back next year. A trio of Tracy, Ragaini, and Jones is pretty meh.
Isn't Bruce likely to be playing as well?Hudson, Mathews and Vines will also be in the mix.
He seems like the most college ready receiver. Becht could handle adding a little weight and Bruce will probably have to sort through what his role will be, whether it's strictly receiver or a little bit of playing all over the offense.Keagan Johnson will be a day 1 contributor
He’s a fucking midget and will not contribute for at least a decade.Isn't Bruce likely to be playing as well?
Adding in three lightly recruited projects doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. As a few others have pointed out, hopefully Keagan Johnson is ready to contribute. I think they’re going to need him.Hudson, Mathews and Vines will also be in the mix.
He's already said he plans to stick with football.Brecht has a good chance of being a high pick in the Major League Draft. I wonder if he'll ever play in Iowa
Idk about Matthews, but Hutson got some praise from KF last season (they thought about burning his RS early) but is hurt right now, and Vines was making some waves before getting hurt this preseason.Adding in three lightly recruited projects doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. As a few others have pointed out, hopefully Keagan Johnson is ready to contribute. I think they’re going to need him.
Charlie Jones 10 returns (22 total punts) for 150 yards through 3 games. Huge upgrade over last years 15 for 121 as a team and 81% no returns.9/96 over five games isn’t terrible. WhyTF did they switch to Cooper?
There were 22 punts by the other team in 3 games??Charlie Jones 10 returns (22 total punts) for 150 yards through 3 games. Huge upgrade over last years 15 for 121 as a team and 81% no returns.
Like you said above, from a field position standpoint it is huge.
Yeah. Purdue 6, NW 6, MSU 10.There were 22 punts by the other team in 3 games??
Yes.There were 22 punts by the other team in 3 games??
I might still have my notebook from the "Coaching of Football" Class, spring 1974. A buddy and I took it just to get some Hoks info. The staff took turns lecturing, so I got some insight, along with being a practice groupie. Spring ball was an open thing then.I always wonder if they’re from memory or if he is typing off a scroll or papyrus that he wrote on at the time.
Your guy Wagner was in an awful lot of camp pictures. It seems like that has meant something over the years. He might be #1 in the eye test department of all the receivers.Brecht has a good chance of being a high pick in the Major League Draft. I wonder if he'll ever play in Iowa
Real nice kid and familyYour guy Wagner was in an awful lot of camp pictures. It seems like that has meant something over the years. He might be #1 in the eye test department of all the receivers.
That dude had my favorite picture in the Field House.I remember being impressed with Danny Mac's practice habits as a senior OG. Rod Walters was a 1st round tackle pick and Joe Devlin a 2nd round guard who blocked for OJ, but Mac seemed like he put the most effort into it. You could see how he and Bobby Elliott became good coaches.
he did?He hated Herrald and that didn’t get him to retire. I don’t think the pres matters a lot.
This is common knowledge among those with insider info.he did?
Absolutely. Bruce made him do some things that Kirk thought were ridiculous and not normal pres/coach requests. He was livid about one thing in particular.he did?
