I'm a lifelong Hawkeye fan and this person has one thing right:

He won't leave Iowa for the NFL right now.

The one thing he has wrong:

He won't even leave for the Steelers job right now.

Talking LBs mostly.

Said he doesn't think Woods or Fujita make the team, barring a string of injuries at either position.

That's about it. Short interview. Told interesting story about hot Svitek got to America.

I'd be surprised if Fujita got cut...you'd think he'd be a quality backup.

I was gonna post this when I got on this morning.

I think we should just make one thread and put each daily update in the thread starter. His interviews are short and contain very little good info.

In addition to his tidbits about Woods and Fujita not making the team, he thinks Iowa State will probably win the North. ROFL

If Fuji didn't make the team, who is K. Bell's backup?

My guess is Fox.

I wonder if ST play has something to do with it as well. I don't remember Fujita ever making any impression on ST.

KEEP F@KING DOUBTING IOWA ST8!!! :cuss:

My guess would be Stills........

Plus Fuji only has a 1 year contract, nothing big as far as cap hit. Gary Stills contributions to the ST's gives him an edge with ST's.

I've been expecting Woods to get cut all along. Now if Fujita is cut that may mean they think Barber is going to be ready sooner rather than later.

I agree, if Fuj doesn't make the cut, it's because they want Stills on ST bad enough, and perhaps he shows enough as a pass rush specialist from LB to keep him around. And don't forget, Barber probably will still be around on the PUP list, leaving some other OLB expendable.

Ok.

I thought Fox was playing 1st team on the other side, and now that Johnson has signed he was behind him. Maybe not.

With Bell's propensity for injuries, IMO, it would be a huge mistake to have Stills the backup as opposed to Fuji.

I don't think predicting ISU to win the north is much of a stretch. The North is weak and ISU is returning an absurd number of starters from the team that tied for 1st in the North last year. The only competition will be Colorado, and maybe Nebraska if they come together fast.

Doesn't Barber play that position ? Seems like They have barber in mind afterall. I was think'n he would be an injury settlement after week 6 if not healthy.
