JD and AM are roommates...just a fyi

I will take flak for this one but I would be willing to lose JD if AM were to leave also

• I've heard this about JD for 2 years now and is true that he has thought about leaving. Not sure he will 
• I also heard that Vedral will be a GT in May 
• McQuitty feels he should be getting PT
• Domann having some frustrations with the staff 
• Hunt and Legrone might be gone after their debacle 
• Bradley, Rafdal, Butler and Jefferson see the writing on the wall with PT 

The only one I would be confident on staying is Vedral other than Him i think your list is pretty accurate

He stuck with him this year, but if we start the same trend he won't have a choice 

Coach has a big Ego and will only pull Martinez if he is injured!! I pray that your correct but until Coach proves it all we can go on is what we have seen  

All the talk about coach Mario's coaching  and Adrian's disappointing season had me thinking, if its coaching then why did Vedral and Luke M. look quicker in their decision making and running of the offense than AD.?? I mean are they not all coached by the same guy?  

Is it really a strength to have so many guys back on offense if many of them really don't seem to be  good enough to win with? or seem to be the long term answer?

He lost that athleticism with that giant brace on his knee. 

I believe the extra weight he gained the offseason was a bigger factor than that brace

Martinez has not attacked all year that's been a big issue in my mind on Offense. When Noah V. or Luke M. were playing we seemed to have a extra gear / pep in our step. Martinez was not the leader or captain  i had hoped he would be.  

This has been a 20 year issue folks. no matter who the coach has been or who the QB has been. We are undisciplined and until are coaches grow up and adjust and our players take charge of the locker room nothing will change I am afraid

I saw the highlights and Iowa had a TD on a kickoff return, WTH?  Our special team play is the most concerning.  I haven't paid attention to who is playing on special teams but kickoffs and punts are usually full of hungry young players trying to show that they deserve playing time.  It doesn't bode well for the future.  I'm giving Dewitt the benefit of the doubt because I believe he is smart and is able to point out what the problems are with special teams.  Players need to make plays.  As you say, special teams is for another thread.

I want to give Dewitt some benefit but our Special teams are horrible, our punter was horrible again today as he has been all year but he graduates so that will change. Our Kick off returners can't figure out that if you call a fair catch we get it at the 25 been trying to return kicks all year, starting every drive at the 15 yard line hurts!! Or fielding a punt at the 1 yard line ouch!!   and the kick off coverage oh boy where to start there!!!

Uh, Devine??? SMJ??? JD??? Won'Dale??? That's 2 1k yard guys and 1 with nearly 900 yards receiving this season, and a true frosh with over 800 combined offensive yards.

 

The issue isn't the skill position, it's the lack of O line talent.

The O-line was working the last too games but Martinez not so much
