I have been told that having easier early games does nothing to prepare teams for tougher games and not having them really isn't a disadvantage.
At least that is what I have been told.

On defense, some uncertainty at free safety
Sophomore Kaevon Merriweather worked his way to the top of the depth chart at free safety with a magnificent set of spring practices. But defensive coordinator Phil Parker said Tuesday that he hasn’t backed that up with as strong of a summer.
That means sophomore Jack Koerner, a walk-on from West Des Moines Dowling Catholic, is suddenly being viewed as a potential starter. Parker is going to let the possibilities play out one more week.
“He needs some growing,” Parker said of Merriweather. “I’m concerned with it.
"You know how some guys get sometimes … they’ve got to keep pushing themselves to keep getting better.”
Parker compared Koerner to recently graduated safety Jake Gervase, who also arrived as a walk-on.
“I like the way he competes, the way he thinks about things and how he goes about his business,” Parker said of Koerner. “He’s going to put the time and effort into it. It means something to him. Any time you have a little chip on your shoulder, that helps you.”
Free safety is the most important position battle on the Iowa defense. Whoever wins it will line up alongside junior Geno Stone.
They are super high on him, and Koerner was also “pushing” Merriweather for the starting spot in the spring, too. There’s a ton of talent in the secondary- if Merriweather ends up not being able to get it done, they’ll find someone else who can.
So you're not going to apologize to me for calling me a troll when I said I heard he had a bad camp?
You are a troll, so why would I apologize for calling you that?
So an Iowa coach saying that a player has some growing to do = him having an awful summer? Sure thing, troll.
I was told he had a horrible camp but yes a coach is going say that to the media. I mean the fact he's concerned about it is telling enough for anyone with common sense
Pretty strong opinion for only being a member for half a week.
I mean you've never had another username right?
I actually think Riley Moss could play a competent FS for Iowa. Seemed like a decent athlete but wasn’t great positionally in man coverage. Seems like a good fit at safety.
Remember, PFF isn't credible because their algorithm's don't like Iowa players.
There's been numerous posters that have stated PFF is dumb or something along those lines.
Something is definitely off with their QB rankings. Grades from Week 2 of 2017 prove that without a shadow of doubt.
The rest seem to be fairly accurate.
