All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

Fantastic. I’ll take an Iowa with no LB experience and a good DL any day of the week.

Why the hell are hok fans/talking heads talking about beating wisky in week 4 with that mess???

I'd rather have a good DL and unproven LBs than good LBs and an unproven DL. Of course I'd rather have a good DL and experienced LBs but you take what you get.

I would too but it seems like when it’s either/or for the hoks they do better when they have the LBs. nothing to back that up just pulling it out of my ass though.

Having gone through the exact opposite scenario in 2005, I disagree. We lost our entire DL (Roth, Babineaux, Luebke and Robinson) from 2004 and had a really good LB crew back (Greenway, Hodge, Edmond Miles) and it was a struggle for the D at times during the season.
 
So they played one less guy and had only 56% of the tackles, 40% of the sacks, 50% of the forced fumbles and 30% of the PBU's than the Iowa DL had?

Huge edge for Iowa still. Next excuse?
Do you really know this little about football?

Read a simple description of roles and responsibilities of DL in 3 man vs 4 man fronts and maybe you will understand. First hint, a 4 man front better have a hell of a lot more than 25% more tackles and sacks than a 3 man front.

It is like comparing FBs to RBs based on yards.
 
I am sure you read the exact post I did on the HR pay board that discussed this.

Don't read the HR pay board and my buddies hadn't told me that one yet. That one literally made me LOL though. I mean even you only had 4 Iowa players on the "All Iowa Defensive Team" and now they hype train is coming in hot

I wasn't even gonna argue with him. Clearly and idiot.

I am not a big enough homer to think there wont be an adjustment for them. It just sucks our toughest non con game is the first game of the season.

You are acting like we will be putting the back ups on the Iowa City High JV team out there at LB this season.

You gotta understand that @YeahBuddy isnt firing on all cylinders. He doesn't even understand the difference in a 3 man front and a 4 man front.

Those “Chicago” kids are going to have a tough time deciding who to cheer for in that first game.
