Demond Tucker a Force on the Inside

[dualthreat]

Des Moines Register: Demond Tucker

Respectfully giving a big middle finger to all the haters. I love the guy's attitude. Sometimes it's a breath of fresh air to see a guy come in with a big chip on his shoulder breathing life into a wavering program.

Our biggest weakness last year on defense was right up the guts of our defense. I'm really rooting hard for a guy like Tucker to come in and make an immediate impact at such a position of need.

Go Cyclones

Tear it up big boy!!

I am excited about him!

Jesus, Randy. I hadn't read one of his classic pieces in months. Still churning out half-baked senility with periods at the end, I see.

Hopefully Tucker can live up to the hype. We're all in wait-and-see mode, right? Well, except RustShack, of course.

Tucker could be very good but with his size, the guy next to him also has to be very good. Cousin (or whoever) has to command a double team. If teams are allowed to double up Tucker, he's going to have trouble. That said, I think he'll be very good and I think the guys on the edge, as a whole are about as good as we have had in some time.

Not saying this guy isnt going to be a stud, but lets all keep our expectations at a reasonable level until we see him against average offensive lines. We have all heard this before.

Guys, clearly Tucker beating out guys who have been here for a couple seasons is a bad thing!

Anyone not named Suh is going to have trouble with double teams

No one is going to be surprised if we stink again this yr. But we can all hold out a little hope.

This is a little better tone than what you started with. May want to save the self righteous tone till you see the outcome of the UNI game.

Isn't dual threat a hawk fan?

Self righteous?

Not even close.
Good one, though.

I've heard some good things about this guy and Wendell Taiese

Some of us find a way to have fun getting drunk and hanging out with friends/family regardless of the outcome of the game... y'all should try it sometime.

 

[upstateclone]

Bobby Leath coming in is only going to help the situation. Thinking that our defense may be a strong point again...kool aid: drank

Perhaps I misinterpreted your giving a middle finger to the haters line. My bad.

Trust me, the season ticket renewal charge that just showed up says I have, and will continue, to try it.
