Doyle cost Epenesa millions
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
It starts with the OL though. Stanley has had no time to throw the ball the last two weeks and the running game has been non-existent. The blame is 70% OL, 20% BF and 10% Stanley. The offense has not been good and all of them need to improve to still have a successful season.
I don't think a lot of hawkeye fans did, granted neither did I. I think most people knew Penn State has a good D, but wasn't quite sold just how good. The interior of the line has struggle 2 games now. Needs to get fixed up quick for them or else it could be a long year.
I think more goes on Stanley than this. Even with time, Stanley hasn't been a world beater. Iowa needs to get its run game going or it could be screwed
It's too bad someone didn't warn you about the Paulsen twins previously...
You have two first round NFL picks and supposedly the best center in the Kirk Ferentz era on your OL
Stanley's 3 interceptions in the Michigan game didn't really had anything to do with the offensive line though.. 2 in the Michigan game came from two poor fade / go route throws and the other came from him trying to fit the ball into a tight window on a crossing pattern. The one against Penn State was Stanley panicking a bit when the pressure came and he blindly threw a terrible ball into an area with a ton of white shirts.
I'm not putting all of the blame on Stanley because it's obvious the Hawkeyes have a ton of problems offensively right now, but he has been far from spectacular the past two weeks.
AJ Epenesa vs. powerhouse Purdue: no stats. No tackles. No QB hurries. Nada. (per ESPN).
Ok, his defenders (some Cyclone fans) can now tell us how he really impacted the game.

He got a personal foul that's a start
Know him personally. Daughter went to high school with him. Amazing quality kid from the same kind of family. Y'all ought to move on and find a better use of your time.

So what? Lots of good kids from good families play every weekend. Doesn't mean their performances can't be critiqued. He can be a great person and experiencing a regression at the same time. They aren't mutually exclusive.
Are we not allowed to talk about the performance of players because you like his family?
Surely he'll be a first round draft pick at the nice guy position in the nfl
he batted down a pass and should have had a hurry
Maybe you can ask him what’s going on.
That last sentence is way better if read in the voice of the creepy gas station attendant at the nearly abandoned station out in the middle of nowhere.
