Has Breece Hall gained too much muscle?

[dosry5]

Probably right. I know my problem is also too much muscle. No way I could play rb

 

[isu81]

Yes, certainly don't want a muscular RB.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

No, it's all in his head.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I think he's looked fine, just hasn't made the right reads or had the holes opened up for him so far

 

[CaptainClutch]

Both UNI and Iowa had a game plan to make Brock Purdy beat them passing and stop Breece and stop Breece as much as they can. Without stretching the field passing the ball it’s hard to create lanes running the football. Once we get going offensively and figure out what’s going on Breece will be better then ever

CMC said he got dinged up in fall camp so yeah he is probably not himself yet.

 

[06_CY]

I ask myself all the time if I just have too much muscle.

 

[mynameisjonas]

And people thought my thread I started was bad…

It was horrible. Way worse than this. You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[CycloneErik]

I'm proud of us that we've gone this far into the season without a thread that Purdy and Hall are struggling after too many cameos and autographs.

what was UNI's game plan against Sac State? How did their game plan for Iowa State work so well when their game plan for a far less talented team in Sacramento State didn't work?

Funny this would be a topic on Iowa State board as it's a topic about Goodson not showing last years form on the Iowa board.

 

[Peter]

Breece is not using all that muscle. He needs to start trucking people. Beast mode.

It's almost like it's hard for an RB to get much happening when defenses key on them in a fairly one dimensional offense.

What’s Sac St’s OC doing this Saturday? Asking for a bunch of players that would like to be put in positions to be successful

In before “join the premium board” but my theory is that he’s dinged up. He hasn’t looked like himself at all and doesn’t seem to have the breakaway speed he showed at times last year. Then again, line play has been brutal to start the year.

Pretty sure he said himself that he was dinged up in camp, and was fine now, but was behind in conditioning. At any rate, the main issue is addressed above (need to help him out by blocking better, making them fear our passing game, and being less predictable).

I haven’t really seen this brought up much, and maybe I’m just seeing things. But he hasn’t looked as quick hitting the holes the first two games. He looks absolutely way more jacked than last season. His cuts haven’t looked as great either. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a great running back, but he just seems to maybe have lost some first step speed with muscle weight gain.

He's gained too many defenders trying to tackle him in the backfield. Would be nice to juke people after the line of scrimmage instead of before it.

What holes?

Well now that you mention it…

 

[FallOf81]

No but some of the cheerleaders have.
