Glad you enjoyed it. Going to discuss gap, zone, and man blocking schemes, line skill composition, and then apply it to reviews of ISU lineman and positional candidates. -
Recruiting and Rosters
Strength and Conditioning is a delicate balance especially in today’s world where science and technology has expanded the choices and methods available for grooming athletes. Why is Chris Doyle worth a million bucks? Because his method produces well conditioned strong athletes that fit their... -
Recruiting and Rosters
It will be interesting to see if those type of adjustments are made. The talent seems to dictate it. But, it may depend on how they feel about losing a coverage player. there is good positional flexibility in the interior line which I think is positive. -
Recruiting and Rosters
Yes, it is. It is certainly and indicator off arm strength but there is a difference between making a long toss and driving a ball 40 yards to a deep out. Think like an outfielder who can drill it home, certainly a strong arm. But he isn’t throwing 96 for 7 innings. He has plenty of arm... -

Jay Jordan: This Game Matters
A bit late, but I hope it adds to the pre-game assessment of the game. I am jacked up for this and to see Iowa State in a prominent position against a prominent team. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2019/12/jay-jordan-this-game-matters/ -
JAY JORDAN: Comprehensive 2019 regular season recap
Another nugget. Mike Rose is a good linebacker and player. He is better than most at OLB. But, had two tough games at end of year. He is an MLB, especially at 240. If he stays outside, they have to get him back to 230 and protect him on that side. Vance is really good. But, half step slow... -
JAY JORDAN: Comprehensive 2019 regular season recap
Just an extra nugget here. Another way that that teams attack the defense in the run game is to split the DT and the Nose. They block down on Nose with a CG double then take inside position on end and lead thru the gap on the backer. Kansas used this effectively, so did Kansas State. ISU aligns... -

At the End of the Day...Kansas
How come I don’t know this!!!!!!!! Screw me... I need to move back to Iowa to know these things. -
At the End of the Day...Kansas
It will be a very interesting off season. The defensive line will be different with a different set of skills and don’t forget that Jaquan Bailey will be in the mix. Receiver is interesting because they really had a nice blend of skills this year. If all the tight ends come back, that helps... -

Thanksgiving reading material. Will waist at least 10 minutes. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2019/11/jay-jordan-at-the-end-of-the-day-kansas/ -
At the End of the Day...Texas
The latter. The infallible teams of CFB have games where they make mistakes in coaching and play but overwhelm with talent gaps. See Georgia v South Carolina. Clemson/North Carolina. The ability to overcome via talent or otherwise is the mark of a sustainable and winning program. This season... -
At the End of the Day...Texas
Both are acceptable down and distance. That, the timeouts, the fourth down trick play. Even with that, they still beat Texas. Pretty cool the more I think about it. -
At the End of the Day...Texas
Hope this adds to the FART. Had a couple of things I have been waiting for the right opportunity to write about. Texas provides that platform. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2019/11/jay-jordan-at-the-end-of-the-day-texas/ -

All of these are good, but this one was really well done. Everything you needed to know and that was interesting in the game. Thanks for the week off!!!! -
Thoughts on B12 Future
Absolutely, the margins for winning and losing become smaller and evaluation of team strengths must expand. The basketball comparison is really good. I had not thought of that, but think it is spot on. Are we sure there will be realignment? Asking, not rhetorical. But, if there is, hasn’t...
