This is the problem....the "oh it's a down year" guys...well next year the defense will be worse for sure...and what's going to be better offensively?
Time to call a spade a spade.
- Thread starter Cyinthenorth
- Start date
The defense will lose its two best players in AJ and Will. NIL could come for some others. Not sure they'll ever be this elite again
I've never seen so many missed blocks. There was not a single guy in that line that that has played well this year for more than a few plays at a time.
We have enough talent to not be this bad. It's all been the execution.
They couldn't be, it's an insane defense. A joy to watch.
At least CMC had somebody to blame years ago when he said Iowa State fans deserved better.
I publicly state after sticking up for the OL all season that I was wrong. We don’t know if our RB’s can produce because they don’t have an opportunity. Dekkers makes bad decisions but who wouldn’t when he knows what’s coming. Jeff Meyers either needs to get a lecture from CMC tomorrow that his job is on the chopping block the next two weeks or let him know tomorrow. The highlight for this team was “the drive” in Iowa City for the win and then the offense has found a way to lose since. Last week X dropped a TD pass all alone & this week it was Noel’s turn. Unreal
Nope…. I was told he’s the answer…. even with no OL or running game. Doesn’t matter. Kohl is so good he’ll have better results than both Purdy or Dekkers.
We're lucky that he knows he'll be able to come in and compete from day 1, otherwise we'd struggle to keep him committed from the NIL offers he's getting elsewhere.
We have probably been blessed with Montgomery and Breece Hall (or maybe cursed) but the ISU O line has been bad for years and needs tending to
I’m not buying “hype” before I see it on the field again for some time.
And without an O-line above MAC level or receivers (X is gone remember), there's little hope right now.
Hunter Dekkers wouldn’t start for Iowa, he is bad, real bad.
I think the sad thing is that we are not bad. But we are clearly poorly coached and prepared week after week.
We are ruining one of the best defensives in the country.
Need to find another WR in the portal. Preferably one that doesn't come from a dumpster fire program like Stanley did.
