Washed Up Walkons

In todays show we discuss how players use the BYE week to get rid of both physical and mental stress and reset for the rest of the season. How do players best manage the week off of playing to fill their cups, rest their bodies, and get their minds right for the upcoming game? What does lifting in the weight room look like during the Bye, how do schedules change if at all? And what is the message around the facility after a big win for the pig with the trip to The Shoe looming? We also discuss Jermari Harris and his impact for the Hawks so far, and much more.If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

We got to hear from the Coordinators during this Week 5 BYE for the Hawks and they did not disappoint! Lester was the highlight, as he spoke with nuance and explanation that Iowa fans haven't heard maybe ever. Parker came with some spitfire and some stats to back up the Defense which may have been unfairly judged at this point, and Levar brought detail from the special teams room that allowed some fun insight to Dakin, Stevens, and the coverage units. We talk about reframing how we think about this Offense as Coach Lester provided great perspective on how little they have had time wise to get this thing rolling, and about Lester developing QBs better moving forward to fix an all time soft spot in the Ferentz era. We discuss Parker's macro view of the Defense, the CB battle, and Castro, and finish with Woods and why the fans should feel great about special teams moving forward.

Floyd is back in Iowa City! The Hawks came out a bit slow, following the tale of to halves blueprint that they happened to have followed each of the 4 games this season. We discuss why coming out of halftime the boys looked like a completely different team both Offensively and Defensively, which allowed them to seal the deal early in the 4th quarter. Is Kaleb Johnson a legitimate Heisman contender? Has the D fixed their issues? How are we continuing to run the ball without a vertical pass game? All of these questions plus more in this show.

We sit down to break down the game from Saturday as the Hawks come back from a halftime deficit to beat Troy 38-21. A game that many walked away from with a weird inconclusive feeling. We discuss why this win doesn't 'feel good' even though the stat sheets say differently.

We break down the Offense and how Kaleb Johnson is currently a Heisman contender, and how Cade actually played well despite a general feeling of lackluster-ness from his position. We talk passing game and how it needs to evolve moving forward, seeing Brendan Sullivan for the first time, and where things need to be heading in to Floyd week.

In the Tuesday presser KF answered questions from the media about the loss from the weekend, he talked about dealing with setbacks and how to move forward from those, and the danger of dwelling on the past. The theme of the press conference was likening this past weekend to 2002 so we discuss how time, decades, provides a pretty good perspective on how great that season was and how much potential this season still has. We discuss how the RB room may only be a 3 man stable right now with JP outside looking in, and of course how scoring in the redzone was such a vital issue in week 1 and will be a focus moving forward.

Levar, 'Coach' Woods(to us) was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He eventually found himself in Iowa, where he attended West Lyon High School, and was Class 2A Player of the Year in his Senior Season. He committed to Iowa, a fun story that he goes into detail on, as a Defensive End in one of Hayden Fry's final recruiting classes. After 'getting his ass kicked' for his first 2 years he found time on Special Teams and reps on Defense where he started to have success. He would go on to play 7 years in the NFL before starting his coaching career. He got onto staff in Iowa City in 2008 and has been there ever since, coaching Tight Ends, Linebackers, and Special Teams during his tenure. He is now recognized as one of the best assistant coaches/coordinators in the country. He also, the day of this recording saw his son commit to his alma mater.
