Williams & Blum: Deeper football conversations as the season approaches - Cyclone Fanatic

The guys recorded on a Monday this week to go in-depth on a number of Iowa State football conversations. Specifically, with rumors swirling, what does the quarterback situation look like going into camp? The guys talk about a solid crop of young tight ends. Will the offensive line take a step...

Some really nice gems here, starting with some info on Tyler Miller. Enjoy, folks!

It would have been nice if it was 15 minutes longer and the deep conversation included something on the defense.

Great job. I love the UTube usage.

Here’s the thing that I haven’t seen mentioned in other threads…..Given all of our struggles last year (and there were A LOT), we were a handful of plays from 8-4 - and I don’t think that is a rose colored glasses take. Campbell even said as much numerous times….”we’re just a hair off.” We tidy up some of those plays, and we see progress where we need to see it and we will go bowling again this year, 6-6 at least.

I can agree with this but last season wasn't the first time we've seen some weirdness and we saw what happened when there isn't legit NFL talent like Hall to cover it up.

But that’s most teams.

I think Rocco is going to have a solid year.

 

[werdnamanhill]

Wow..I'm actually optimistic for the football team after listening.

Interesting notes about Tyler Millers injury specifically.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

If the line isn't better, it will be the same.

 

[bozclone]

I'm excited for the season to get rolling.

 

[madguy30]

But that’s most teams.

Most teams have flaws covered up, yes.

Most teams don't have this poor of special teams and low turnover margin.

Getting a listen now. Get that Oline hype train going!

Nothing wrong with it; expecting improvement there should be the norm.

 

[ScottyP]

From an experience standpoint, we should expect at least some improvement on the o-line. I wish they would have discussed a little bit about the receivers.

I'm weary of any hype coming from the coaching staff until I see it on the field at this point.

Oh yeah, need results. Same with about every position on offense.

I lose track but who's all returning from the Oline? Add in a fresh start with a proven new coach and anything like last year should be followed with lots of questions.

This was the most glaring thing to me. The coaching staff had more faith on a one armed O-lineman than the backup. That's concerning and a huge red flag.

 

[DesertClone1]

I do expect the OL to be much better. Can’t get much worse honestly.
Think Clanton coming in and giving them confidence will be key. One bad thing happened last year and it snowballed.

The comment somewhere about the attitudes or something is interesting.

If things imploded from a rapport stand point that certainly can't help.
