This punt by Taylor must have been monstrous
That’s the backup punter.
Geriatric Declarations.Kirk is officially in Elder Statements Who Doesn't Give a Fuck Territory , Doesn't grouse about expansion or NIL. Not earth shattering but a good dude who appreciates what he's had/has. Did, however, praise both Petras and Padilla and called it something to the effect of a "great situation".
The pain of Iowa not converting there is incomplete if you see nothing but the single play that isnt converted. It was the Hawks moving the ball at will up to that point….combined with the fact that if you’ve been an Iowa fan long enough you know that a first down miscue leads to misery on remaining downs 98.7% of the time….that really drove the salt in to the wound.
I’ve always liked Eisen and I guess it’s been awhile since I listened to him. He shockingly came across like kind of a prick. Just LA personality I guess, but sadly not the dude I remember.Kirk is officially in Elder Statements Who Doesn't Give a Fuck Territory , Doesn't grouse about expansion or NIL.

I’ve convinced myself he doesn’t suck, results be damned.I'm rooting for him, not only because I want Iowa to win, but I like the guy.
He's a good listen and seems like a good guy, albeit a bit of a red ass which I don't have a problem with. It would be awesome if he succeeds and improve the offense.I'm rooting for him, not only because I want Iowa to win, but I like the guy.
I agree. We won't though until the run game improves.He's a good listen and seems like a good guy, albeit a bit of a red ass which I don't have a problem with. It would be awesome if he succeeds and improve the offense.
I saw this tweet a couple days ago...
I wish he would scheme successful matchups like this more. I know McVay is an offensive genius, but I wouldn't call Anthony Lynn one. We should be able to get our WRs into matchups on LBs and safeties more often.
It’s tough to exploit matchups downfield when you don’t have the WRs for it. The OL was a major issue last fall and teams stacking the box w/o having to respect our WRs magnified the issues. We had to utilize play action and misdirection to get our WRs open last fall, but it worked vs PSU. BF catches a lot of heat for his play calling but I think the real culprit is our inability to consistently recruit playmakers on offense.I agree. We won't though until the run game improves.
The Rams also had two other very dangerous receivers. Maybe KJ and Ragaini will be good enough to get the respect of the defense and draw some safety help.
"...from October 2 to their bowl game, Iowa threw only 2 passing touchdowns."Good listen. Iowa likers, Spence/Bri skeptics.

I think it’s a top on down issue. Every staff or program has its weaknesses. Our philosophy isn’t always going to attract those sort of players unless we’re winning 10 games consistently or a blue blood.I don't know why people say that like it's a defense. This isn't the NFL with a separate front office scouting and drafting and signing players. The offensive coaches are the same guys responsible for recruiting offensive players.
You're just identifying a different thing the same group of people are bad at.
Stop being such a simpletonBad offense in todays game is a CHOICE
They were a first down from winning 11 games last year. Stop being stupid about it. It had a lot more to do with our youth and inexperience up front than anything. We’re not a blue blood, this isn’t the NFL either. Roster weaknesses will surface from time to time and despite our youth issues, including young WRs, we won 10 games.Complete ineptitude isn't a philosophy
Every time that people talk about this they talk like we're talking about Iowa going to some sort of air raid offense. No. I just want when Iowa lines up in a traditional set and runs the ball for it to go 5 yards instead of 3 yards. When the quarterback drops back to pass, I'd really like it if it was completed downfield instead of being dumped off to the RB for 1 yard gain.Complete ineptitude isn't a philosophy
Because they had elite defense and special teams.They were a first down from winning 11 games last year.
Glaringly obvious. The staff knew our offense was weak and way more often than not put the team in a position to utilize those two strengths to win games. Was I frustrated by the offensive performance and the holes in the depth chart? Definitely and I’m hoping things get better moving forward.Because they had elite defense and special teams.
Yes. But the point is that "they almost won 11 games" isn't a defense of the offense. That's nonsense.Glaringly obvious.

Probably had a team meeting, "well, the defense is great and we have one hell of a punter. In order to win games, we need to keep our yards per carry down."The staff knew our offense was weak and way more often than not put the team in a position to utilize those two strengths to win games.
I am dreaming of the 70th most efficient pass game in the country. It would be pretty awesome.Yes. But the point is that "they almost won 11 games" isn't a defense of the offense. That's nonsense.
It wasn’t intended to be a defense of the offense. Just realityYes. But the point is that "they almost won 11 games" isn't a defense of the offense. That's nonsense.
No, just minimize mistake and turnovers. Opposing defenses and youth had a lot more to do with our inability to generate any consistent offensive output.Probably had a team meeting, "well, the defense is great and we have one hell of a punter. In order to win games, we need to keep our yards per carry down."
Just give me the Wisconsin style offense and I’m a happy man. Fuck those cheese dick assholes.I am dreaming of the 70th most efficient pass game in the country. It would be pretty awesome.
As much as I would enjoy coming up with creative new ways of calling you an idiot, you've absolutely convinced me that you have no point whatsoever.No, just minimize mistake and turnovers. Opposing defenses and youth had a lot more to do with our inability to generate any consistent offensive output.
They turned the ball over way too much.No, just minimize mistake and turnovers. Opposing defenses and youth had a lot more to do with our inability to generate any consistent offensive output.
Its a shame other teams don’t have to play against defenses.No, just minimize mistake and turnovers. Opposing defenses and youth had a lot more to do with our inability to generate any consistent offensive output.
Middle of the pack, WI and Indiana led the league in turnovers per game.They turned the ball over way too much.
I’m not sure how anyone that has watched a decade of Iowa football could make this statementNo, just minimize mistake and turnovers. Opposing defenses and youth had a lot more to do with our inability to generate any consistent offensive output.

Because you want to be contrarian?I’m not sure how anyone that has watched a decade of Iowa football could make this statement
It’s disgusting how many times we entered the red zone last year and still found ourselves in 3rd and longI’m hoping the uncertainty at kicker will lead to Brian being more aggressive in the Red Zone this year. Last year was fucking atrocious.
Iowa was 12th in yards per play and 10th in turnovers per play. The point is that they didn't suck because they were too conservative.Middle of the pack, WI and Indiana led the league in turnovers per game.
They sucked because they weren’t very good offensively. I’m not making the argument they were overly conservative because they weren’t but I think they did a decent job of letting the defense and special teams win games. This isn’t a difficult concept to graspIowa was 12th in yards per play and 10th in turnovers per play. The point is that they didn't suck because they were too conservative.
There's almost this idea with some contrarian know-it-all footbally types that Iowa's offense is like Virginia basketball, and people are simply complaining about style.Everyone who's quick to excuse Iowa's offensive totals by defending how slowly Iowa plays never seems to realize that that same argument applies to bad stats like turnovers too.
We were pretty low in offensive efficiency as well. Petras isn’t going to win games for you but we weren’t outstanding elsewhere except for maybe Goodson.Everyone who's quick to excuse Iowa's offensive totals by defending how slowly Iowa plays never seems to realize that that same argument applies to bad stats like turnovers too.
