OL will get markedly better next year and even better the following year when you add Proctor.

The O-Line might be “better” but it doesn’t matter with this scheme and play-calling. See the other post somewhere on here by @tcondon. Wirfs, Jackson, Linderbaum on the same line and barely crack Top 100 in running O.

Weren’t the two guards terrible that year?

Ok

I think the problem is the that the line tends to be as bad as its worst player. There should be ways to scheme around that.

Damn, that shoe went 40' in the air.

Nice distance.

 

[ABeardedDragon]

Connor McCaffery.

I bet that Connor would be an improvement over the current QB situation.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Foul.

The scheme could use some work, but to say a better OL doesn't matter is ridiculous.

Only play 4 guys?

“To what purpose?”

“Any purpose.”

“I dunno, piss poor performance” would have been a hero’s retort.

That is a fantastic play design and execution by Banks to get the defense looking to his left and then swings back to the right to a wide open Clark releasing. Perfection.

Also, 20 years ago.

FUCK ME!!!!

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

I would sell off my second born for 4 years of Brad Banks level QB play.

 

[SteadyEddy]

How was that a team with the same head coach as the current turd of an offense we get to watch on Saturdays?

It’s the same offense. That team had an ELITE OL full of 3-4 year starters. An athletic QB who had an amazing year. Two dynamic RB’s. And playmakers at WR and TE.

No secret really, that team was loaded on offense.

Same but 1st born for me this week. She's been an asshole.

Just noticed Brad Banks wore number 7. What a contrast.

This is all true. The Jimmy's and the Joe's really do matter. I also don't think it's the same offense. It's changed in places it shouldn't (way too much horizontal movement) and hasn't changed in places it should (adjusting the zone scheme) with an inflated focus on execution instead of advantageous play calling

One might suggest that spending the next two decades attempting to do the same thing, with many of those things that made it work absent from the current team…is pretty fucking stupid

Only took you 20 years. Not bad.

 

[Verbal]

He wore No. 10 when he first arrived.

 

[6deuce]

He wore No. 10 when he first arrived.

He hadn't even earned the Reebok logo yet.

Most people forget this.

Oddly, no one runs the same offense as the 98 broncos.

Too bad this wasn't a line that came out of the locker room after this past Saturday

 

[Hawk&Balls]

It did.

Just not Iowa's.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

I mean Phil taking out Brian or spence

Kelvin Bell started following SE Missouri State QB Paxton DeLaurent on twitter.

Kinda strange to do it mid-season. Less strange that they are aiming low.

"Big Mahk Flagg". Need to see Lachey get more opportunities like that.

Yes please, I’d take him.

 

[douglasbader]

What a failure. They could realistically bring back everyone PLUS have Fat Marco and they think every single one of them is worse than the SEMO QB.

Insane.

I mean, he's throwing for 285 yards/game right now. Seems like someone who's going to blow up.

He wont be doing that if he plays for iowa

 

[TVan]

He wont be doing that if he plays fire iowa

Takes a lot of 1 yd plays on 4th and 2 to get to 285 yards. Even I can handle that math.

 

[eclone]

Nope, @ivan_drago already decreed that he’s an awful qb and a joke based upon his extensive knowledge of “he played against ISU so he must suck”.
