Seriously? Only one quality WR, OL looks weak and Steele Beathard at QB?
Ott and King are studs I'm sure a few other guys will step up. LB's can't be worse than last year either

Seriously? Only one quality WR, OL looks weak and Steele Beathard at QB?

We do only have 1 quality WR, but we have two solid TEs that hopefully step up. The OL won't be as good as last year but it won't be a weakness. And we at least will have a true RB in the backfield (Daniels, Canzeri) full time instead of a FB with no field vision.
Ott is a man, King had moments of stupidity last year but still a very good CB. Other than that the outlook for the D is bleak. I think our LBs can and will be worse than last year. We have three undersized guys who aren't all that fast. We're green at DT, though we have talent there it's unproven and if they can't step up our LBs are going to get manhandled by B1G O-linemen all season. Our safeties are bad as well, Lomax has experience but still pretty much sucks.
The O-Line is not going to be good. Sean Welsh is reportedly gone. You lost Scherf to the NFL.
Your DT's had 1 assisted tackle between them last year. Darian Cooper is not recovering well from knee surgery. And Ott will not have big Carl Davis and Trinca-Pasat plugging the middle like last year.
CJ Beathard loves to scramble. I look for him to get injured behind that O-Line.
Yes the line will take a step back, anytime you lose an Outland Trophy winner, it will. But it won't be a weakness. And Welsh was the obvious weak link last year, if he is in fact gone, it's not as big a hit as you think.
And I don't know where you get your DT stats but they're pretty off. Johnson by himself had a sack, 2.5 TFLs, and 9 assists. And that's seeing limited action behind two guys who will be playing Sundays this coming season.
Cytwins likes to stir the pot-he has no info, and just waits for responses to his stupid comments like this.Are you going to take the bait?? so proud of him
You really don't know that he is making fun of Iowa fans in that post?
that makes it even better
I think some Iowa fans are pressuring CJB a little too much. He's a gun slinger. He will throw INTs. Probably lots of them. It's what we got with Jantz and it's what Iowa will get with CJB
What's even better is hearing about Paul Rhoads kid getting put in jail....so proud!
I'd rather have a practice player in jail for a Public Intox than having my coach having no control of the locker room and putting out January depth charts to keep fans happy.

Yes, especially at RB. Our starter was a FB who only started because he was the safer play, and KF likes safe guys who cover up the ball. Low risk, low reward. Our guys this year will at least be true HBs with more field vision than MW ever had.
And we already agree that CJB is the better play at QB.
So you really think those guys gave you a better chance to win last year and Kirk had them on the bench?
I went to the practice at Valley yesterday with my buddy who is an Iowa fan and one of the things that stood out to me was how shaky the backup QB was. Better hope CJ is the guy and stays healthy because that backup did not look ready for game action
You sound surprised. Yes. It's not uncommon for KF to opt for guys who are safer or have seniority over guys who have more talent but are riskier plays until he's forced to go the other way. You really think MW was a bigger threat in our backfield than Canzeri or Daniels?
If anybody thinks that Iowa's current 2 deep at the RB position will remain unchanged before the first game, well then they haevnt paid much attention to Iowa football in the past 10 years. My guess, Canzeri blows an MCL in a wake boarding accident, or some other super bro activity, and Daniel's becomes the first person drafted via the selective service to the US military since Vietnam.

Remind me, was he also the Ferentz boy who was stealing from taxpayers by living in subsidized housing, or was that a different Ferentz boy?
