FOOTBALL PODCAST MAILBAG: Jay Jordan & I are recording today

[ChrisMWilliams]

Football questions. Give us what you got. Let's go!

 

[cyclonedave25]

Who’s the starting RB for the season opener?

 

[UNIclonefan]

What wide receivers/running backs do you see emerging this fall. Do you believe Brock Purdy will improve in year 2?

 

[isubeatle]

Who is going to be the 3rd down and pass catching RB?

 

[CloneGuy8]

Do you think the staff will try and get speed guys like Leonard Glass, Carson Schleker, and Re-al Mitchell on the field a lot this year?

 

[cyfan10]

Two true freshman that will have the biggest impact. One offense and one defense.

 

[kentkel]

Jay,
What's your favorite football memory/interesting story from your days of playing for Jim Walden? (BTW, that coincides with my time at Iowa State)

 

[SCcyclone12]

Which linemen will have the biggest improvement from last year? One offensive and one defensive.

 

[cyfan92]

How can Iowa State better use the vertical seems on offense this year?

It seems we have good slot guys and big TE's that could really benefit from this

 

[SpokaneCY]

How do you see Manning's offense differing from last year's offense?

 

[cyguy2170]

How do you think Tom Manning changes the way the offense runs? I feel like theres a chance for us to be more creative and maybe gamble a little more.

 

[JohnPrineforCy]

With another year of football under his belt, does Matt Leo start to make a larger impact on the defense?

 

[Gunnerclone]

O/U on a Brock Purdy total TD’s...my number is 31.

 

[wheels686]

What will it take in fall camp for Trevor Downing/Joey Ramos or Robert Hudson to take over a starting OL job from one of the 5 returning starters?

 

[Cycsk]

How much of a factor is the crowd at Jack Trice Stadium? How much difference has the bowling in of the south endzone made?

 

[SolarGarlic]

Is the staff confident that they can replace Peavy and Payne at CB?

 

[cayin]

Break down how we match up with Iowa, including our coaches ability to scheme against them. Does the by week hurt or help us compared to Iowa having two D1 games under their belt to our no D1 teams to prepare.

 

[Crookedhatkid]

Have you guys watched tape on all the incoming freshman? And if so who jumps out to you?

 

[dualthreat]

which true freshmen see the field? Any burn redshirts?

 

[Cycsk]

How about some more critique of Tom Manning? JJ is about the only one I've heard give any negative analysis of Manning.
