Does U of I still have a leisure studies degree? I never knew what somebody would do with that degree when hawkeyes would mention that as a major.
Doyle cost Epenesa millions
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
They probably do what all the ISU guys do with their Liberal Studies degree....they use it to get a job.
In being leisurely? So, you are comparing that to a college umbrella at ISU, is Leisure studies actually a college. U of I has the Leisure College?
I wish we had the luxury of having a major player "mired in mediocrity" and still win ten games.
Another thread that hasn't aged particularly well.
You mean today or when he was destroying the USC left tackle during the bowl game en route to being named defensive MVP?
Yeah, he didn’t impress. Probably doesn’t hurt him too bad, maybe he slides behind Gross-Matos as far as edge rushers. Still think he goes 18-25
Halliburton has been mired in mediocrity and the team has 12 wins.
Patriots would be a dream fit. Go from one of the best coaches in college to the best coach in the NFL.

A.J. Epenesa, DE, Iowa: Epenesa made many plays for the Hawkeyes using hustle and power. Scouts questioned his athleticism coming into the combine, and his performance on Saturday likely won't do anything to assuage their suspicions. The 5.04 40 at 275 pounds was not exceptional, and his on-field work showed a lack of suddenness and bend off the edge. It's clear to me that his future is as a five-technique at the next level, and I wouldn't be surprised if he added some weight to play that spot. His jump results were not bad (32.5-inch vertical, 9-9 broad), so there's some lower-body explosiveness to work with. NFL teams should give Epenesa credit for working out instead of choosing to wait until his pro day -- but there's not a lot of 275-pound defensive linemen with 5.0 40s going in the first round these days.

I don't know, 40 and bench were bad, but the other drills look decent, and film definitely shows plenty of strength. Definitely looks like a better fit as a 3-4 DE.
A creative coach/GM will draft Wirfs and design some swing running plays for him......Ferentzs lacked that creativity but I can see it happening. whip them out once in awhile. If for no other reason than to punish teams with smurfs as corners. Hell.....just lining him up in the backfield is guaranteed to waste a timeout in the first half of the opposition just to f with their heads.
Yeah wouldn't surprise me at all if he goes late 1st round now and ends up on a better team/organization and he goes on to have a very good rookie season/career for them.
Congratulations on your first post.....Not the best or the wittiest, but everybody has a first time. Be sure to wash your hands and cough into the crook of your elbow.
Last first round: Seahawks, Ravens, Packers, Niners, Chiefs
Beginning of second round: Bengals, Colts, Lions, Chargers.
Basically pro run organizations vs not.
