    What are the chances Cronk comes back?

    I could also see him leaving due to Wes Martin and Brandon Knight having more success in the NFL than many would’ve expected. And he has more upside I think. He’s not a finished product, but neither are they. When you see your peers move on, that can influence you.

    Most Disturbing thing to me

    I know this is old but I think Covington is on IR. I forgot to post that, but in the preseason get had a nasty neck injury on a kickoff could've been a lot worse because he had his head down. It reminded me of the Shazier injury a few years ago, but thankfully it didn't turn out that bad. I...

    Most Disturbing thing to me

    Yeah, but Scales and Fant were good before Allen came in. Everyone knew Scales would get a shot in the NFL the day he came on campus, and he developed early. Same with Fant who led the nation in pass breakups early on I think (I think his sophomore year before CTA came in). Covington is the one...

    Most Disturbing thing to me

    In all fairness, it’s only his third year technically, unless you count his year as a DC. The one guy on a nfl roster that we could argue he “developed” is likely Chris Covington, which was actually remarkable considering his improvement when Allen came to town, and the fact that he was moving...

    Interesting question

    He may be a great coach. If you want my honest take (which may disappoint you), it’s that sometimes coaches can be knowledgeable and reach some players, but not everyone buy in. That would actually disconfirm my view of Inge being a great coach. You can’t buy into a player hear. One of the most...

    Interesting question

    McFadden played the weakside linebacker position and middle at times. Really if you know one, you should know both. But I agree. Tom Allen jr worked hard and I don’t think he played due to favoritism. I truly believe he played out of necessity because the older guys didn’t get it done. I also...

    Interesting question

    I have similar questions. Coaches are human. They have biases. Sometimes they select their guys. But for all we know, Womack is a defensive whiz and will do a great job. Only time will tell. And I can’t knock them for playing Tom Allen jr. because the 4th and 5th year guy didn’t step up. Hell, I...

    Interesting question

    I only disagree because Covington was a very very marginal played who had to be developed. Willis was a 5th year guy. Jones was a 4th year guy. When you look at those guys under Inge, they made contributions early and developed into very solid players. The one guy who I can say came in “big ten...

    Interesting question

    Haha he’s a solid friend. And I know of his dads background with the packers. Nothing but respect. I was actually with some old teammates this week who brought up murph. Haven’t been able to log on due to work. But respect the post and the sarcasm.

    Interesting question

    Yeah that guys comment is disappointing. I don’t come over here like, “oh I’m so smart and could coach”. I’m highly respectful of fans and love hearing the fans point of view which is why I joined the board. I have been supportive of Allen and I just like mentioning interesting points based on...

    Interesting question

    Oliver eclipsed 100 tackles in 2015 with Knorr as the coordinator. The line was good, but couldn’t even l8ne up in the right spot. Gifted, but not smart. It seems as if Inge had the LB’s trending upward.

    Interesting question

    I agree with this 100%. Oliver didn’t have the tools of someone like Ryan Shazier. But was highly effective at the college level. That was mostly due to Inge. Simmons is another example of a guy with limited physical tools, but was developed. Covington was a safety/QB so Inge turning him into an...

    Interesting question

    something throughout the season that was noticeable was the decline in terms of linebacker play. It’s confusing as to why William Inge was switched to the special teams coordinator position. The special teams struggled and he was criticized in that role, but what he did for the linebackers was...

    76-1

    It depends on how those guys buy in. I’ll put it this way... Bruce Arians has had success and hasn’t in the NFL. But the guys who bought in (Manning) ended up being successful. The guys who didn’t, were average at best. At some point I want Ramsey to fully just be the alpha and take this over. I...

    Is Debord's return a foregone conclusion?

    I agree 100%. And that’s why Coleman is in the League and Redding is not. And it kind of highlights that CKW had more to work with on the offensive line because that 2015 line opened up so many holes that Redding was a 1000 yard guy as a Sophomore backup. It’s been a while, but even in the...

    Is Debord's return a foregone conclusion?

    Yep. I wish I had the time to look at more advanced stats, but an interesting stat that I saw during the Le’veon Bell debate was how many yards were due to the offensive line before he was even contacted. If we used a similar debate with IU, it looked like Stevie Scott was getting a whole lot of...

    Michael Lindauer QB

    Yeah. He quit in the middle of the game. It was kind of sad.

    Is Debord's return a foregone conclusion?

    I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that Ramsey won’t start. He has some things to work on but so does Penix at this point. Ramsey is going into his fourth year and the lights might turn on. I think that most of his issues are correctable at this point. He struggles in specific situations...

    Michael Lindauer QB

    I think so. And the ties that Allen has to Ben Davis. Combine that with the fact that his recruiting only picked up recently (although rapidly) and the fact that we were one of the first power 5’s to notice him... Those factors give IU a chance.

    Michael Lindauer QB

    Lindauer looks pretty solid. I’d point out that in his film he shows some mobility, so I wouldn’t call him a typical pro style guy. He doesn’t appear to be any less mobile than Ramsey. What could make him a P5 guy is that he can throw the ball vertically down the field with accuracy (something...
