Jay Jordan -- Light me up
The addition of Caponi and Manning to the staff is definitely an impactful thing because they are smart football minds and good coaches. I don’t know how to quantify the impact on Campbell and Heacock. Logic tells you that they will be better with a more singular focus. Observation reveals that... -

Hahaha, that was a mistake, was just putting something in to get things started. That said, it is something I believe. ISU has never had an Iowa game mean so little to its seasons prospects. The season is in the Big 12 and the recent history has proven that they do not need to beat Iowa in... -

Man, formations are hard to predict with this group because they love motion so much. I think you will see the F deployed in different ways. Where Seonbuchner was an additional lineman, I think you will see Soehner in more of a pass threat position, the traditional wing. I think they will still... -

The running back Williams and the two quarterbacks. They are obvious, but without a deep dive until they actually sign. I have observed Bouman first hand and know a little about his pedigree and I really like the kid, but Dekkers is a versatile stud. Bouman is the type of student of the game... -

I hope we see some Toledo style 4-2-5 with Johnson in there. I am a Limanatic, but Jamahl Johnson is a disrupter array (see Star Trek) and will have a long pro career. I have been calling for the TE to be a focal point for three years, but to the extent it will be, it will be this year. We saw... -

Great thought here. Is it beneficial to double team Lima and leave Rose to roam? I think you are right. If I was coordinating the offense, I would single Lima, run to the edge, and extend to Rose as the larger threat. This would challenge Lima to run and chase which he is challenged to do... -

No, Sam Ehlinger is just better. But, that does not mean he cannot beat Texas and everyone else in the Big 12. His completion percentage must stay where it is and his yards per attempt was ridiculous. If he does that for a full season, then it will be hard not to put him in the top three in the... -

I think Manning is a brilliant football mind. I truly believe the influence from his year in Indy is underrated. He coached the tight ends, two good ones. They targeted tight ends 11 times a game, the most in the NFL. That means he learned and utilized and taught two tight end route trees. The... -

Awesome question!!!!!!! I hope not. It is freaking impossible. Defenders are hard wired to block or react to the pass motion. What he needs to do is place it better. Defensive lineman will ignore it this year, but he didn't use it against them much anyway. It is most useful on the edge against... -

I will join you at 0/4 and say Breece Hall, DeShaunte Jones, Greg Eisworth, and Braxton Lewis. -

Anthony Johnson will make you forget your momma. He is long, tall, and physical. The experience he gained last year was an underreported boon to the defense. I believe he has lock down corner potential, but will easily fill Peavy's role. Datrone Young is solid though more prone to guessing on a... -

Yes, the offensive scheme will progress this year. You will see some of that in my upcoming article where we saw some of that progression against WSU. I think there will still be a screen game element, but I believe they will move to a true outside running game more than the replacement scheme... -

All joking aside, I think the UNI game is much more important than the Iowa game. That has not always been the case, but I think the script has flipped. In the past, a win versus Iowa was huge for perception and team chemistry in the Big 12. The last two years have proven that it isn't the... -

Have a little time tonight, thought I would open up it up for ripping or questions with a live response. Let me hear from you guys and gals. -
Scates Fall Camp
I think the scates and Wilson talk is real. Surprised Pettway hasn’t made much headway. See what I did there. There remains length, size and speed post Lazard and Butler. The WR room is stacked. Porter and Glass will be factors sooner than later as well. Good thing the tight ends give... -
Zeb Noland misses out on starting job at NDSU
QB is such a fickle position and there is so much of it that is mental. Park was super talented. Go back and watch the Iowa game from 17. Moore was never going to play here. I am totally surprised about Dean. Thought he had nice quarterback skill, I think his plight is more about Bouman and... -
JAY JORDAN: The McDonald Twist
Agree with Chris above. Coach Campbell has provided the juice to a very interesting positional shift. It represents an undisclosed skill set and depth behind him at the DE position. The article is describing a player "type" and the potential impact that type of player can have. McDonald is the...
