That was a hypothetical example of how one might use multiple offensive line combinations effectively.
Of the returners, Newell is the best pulling player, the others struggle which is why they did not pull much last year. In 2016 Patrick Scoggins struggled as straight ahead blocker, but was...
Interestingly, I understand offensive line personnel quite well. I would not call the comments in the article a 180 or even an evaluation of play I have not seen yet. Instead it picks out clues and information regarding perceived improvement by the staff and indications that it is indeed the...
I called him the right guard toward the e d because I could not remember how to spell his name.
I expect him to benefit from the offseason and spring and to tak a leap forward next year.
In the interest of time and since the news cycle is offense based, a brief response. I think Hummel is a very good player and will upgrade MLB should he beat out sutton. If he does not then that is good news about sutton. Spears and Harvey are very good in their roles and should remain solid...
I am not wearing Memphis blue in this game. I meant that outside of ISU fandom i can be seen cheering for Memphis.
I realize I did not write that clearly. I can assure you I am a cyclone.
Right on brutha. Glad I communicated what I meant. So glad you and the others were there in Myrtle. That basketball team is exciting. Prohm, Campbell, and Dresser are a new era in Cyclone athletics. Pollard should be given props for how he has dialed in the hiring process.
These are guesses on their best day. Mine are no different, but occassionally you see something that you latch on to. WVU is an impatient team. Neither Grier or Holgersen or Spavital are take the air out of the ball guys. Even TCU couldn't be patient enough against this defense.
Grier will...
I am very appreciative of the love for the articles. I even appreciate the criticism, and try to take that to heart. I write a lot of words, so having the patience to stick with it is appreciated.
Remember my caution at the beginning of the article. I have the luxury of hindsight and do not...
The 7 on 7 leagues and the burgeoning camp market are the AAU of football.
Agreed that one player doesn't make a team like in bball and there is a lot more development required in football. But, football has and generates more money at the university level and a QB can change a trajectory...
Shame on the NCAA who could have headed this off with rules promulgation. Shame on them for fostering this system.
If this is the tip of the iceberg, the football will be next. It makes no sense that 5 stars sign with the same 7 schools each year. How does IMG get its kids and why are they...
The option pitch is not a true option. They are reach blocking the end and freezing the OLB pursuit with the speed option look. It is always going to be a pitch, but the RB gains a step on the pursuit with the option threat.
A true option would use a down block from the tackle with the DE...
DM is his own man. Don't put a ceiling on him. Meaning, he is very good and if team development cooperates, will exceed already high expectations. Nice guy who plays nasty.
We haven't seen him catch the ball yet, but can't wait until we do. A catch in space is an exciting prospect for a...
Could a liability have turned in to a strength? Unproven, yes, but for a team with undersized try hard guys historically, a major upgrade. 6'2 to 6'7 280 to 320 pounds 3 deep. We look more like a big 12 team. More kool aid please.
