Did anyone see

[mitchforcy]

Did anyone see LJ and Sims going at it today? That can't be good for team chemistry imo.

 

[demoncore1031]

yeah that was crazy. looked like LJ blew his assignment on that play.

 

[Cyclonepride]

It happens. They're both competitors, and hopefully it's water under the bridge by now.

 

[kingcy]

yeah that was crazy. looked like LJ blew his assignment on that play.

Sims blew his coverage. He bit on the fake big time.

 

[SPOONER]

Also not good for team chemistry: Suspending a kid for only one game after he ripped off someone's credit card and actually used it.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Sims blew his coverage. Which is why LJ yelled at him. Either way, I'm sure they are over it now.

 

[Tornado man]

Yeah, but LJ was getting beat all day. It's like Iowa was targeting him.

 

[kingcy]

Yeah, but LJ was getting beat all day. It's like Iowa was targeting him.

Yes, it was but he didnt get help deep either. It is also hard to defend when you get no pass rush. Reaves played a good game though.

OK, but LJ lost his poise when he started screaming at his own teammate Sims, in the middle of the field, on national TV, then ends up shoving him. It looked awful.

 

[mitchforcy]

What point in the game was that I can't remember

 

[EddieISU]

They're both competitors. And by the way, after they came off the field they were sitting next to each other.

 

[Cyforyou]

Yeah, but LJ was getting beat all day. It's like Iowa was targeting him.

LJ did get beat some today, but Sims missed some tackles that sorely hurt the defense. Both were just frustrated....looked bad...

 

[CloneIce]

I think they were fighting over who was having a worse game.

 

[Swanson10]

basically came down to EVERYONE having a bad game and at that point emotions got the best of a few. Nothing big...move on.

Nothing exposes the backfield like the lack of pressure from the D-line. Hope that things improve next week.

 

[demoncore1031]

not having benton today didnt even matter. he is a good DB but no way he could have helped us. reeves had a better game than i expected. he didnt do good, but i expected panzi to throw at reeves alot more than he did

they wont improve. if we couldnt get pressure against NIU (probably are weakest opponent this year), then how will be get pressure against any other team

They won't. The attitude I had was that the DLine was so bad last year how can it be worse this year. Well it has through the first 2 games. I wouldn't trade Wally Burnham for anything though. He has said many times he's not big on blitzing, but at some point he will have to this year or it's gonna look like a 7 on 7 passing camp. He was blitzing on run downs. He is just not willing to take a risk on a 3and 6(obvious passing down). He's in a real tough spot. A lack of size and talent on the line. And who knows what we'll get outta the lb's and secondary. I'm sure with a total lack of depth he doesn't appreciate the offense going 3 and out. Make any sense?

lj played very poorly today.i thought reeves played a very good ballgame.
