Knott and Klein

[TheCity]

Bring so much hope to the future of the defense!!! Great job fellas!!

Not to mention Jeremy Reeves!!!


Way to go Cyclones:yes:

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Agreed. :yes:

 

[RING4CY]

When you shutout, no matter the margin of victory, you're doing something right. :yes:

 

[Cyclonepride]

The defense continues to be a bright spot, even though they are undermanned. When they get punched in the mouth, they get back up and fight.

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

Amen to that, a shut out is a shut out!

 

[EddieISU]

Agree and they are only going to get stronger, smarter and even better with each game.

 

[rich4cy]

dont forget Rump he is playing a lot of snaps andin on a lot of plays!

Even better when you not only shut out but you also score on D! :yes:

+1. He's really improving.

Lenoard Johnson has been pretty quite thus far. Klein and Knott are going to be a great combo in years to come though. Add JG in to that too.

 

[stateofmind]

That's enough positive talk!!!

Haven't you gusy seen that we should be in meltdown mode?

 

[ISU_phoria]

Reeves has definitely earned more playing time. He may be under sized, but he's had two good weeks at CB.

And Tau'au'fo (sp?). This should be a solid LB core next year.

The less you hear out of a lockdown corner the better. It means his man isn't getting open for the most part and they're not even trying to throw his way. Deandre Jackson's last year was the same way before his knee injury.

I guess your probably right. Lenoard has been beatin down feild a couple times this year pretty bad though. Nothing horrible yet though.

 

[Rural]

Reeves looks a lot better than any other corner we have.

 

[Stormin]

LJ has been beaten a few times. I think Benton has done pretty well. Reeves as well. IMO, Anthony Young needs to step it up. There is NO doubt that Reeves is at least our 3rd best CB. But who is the 4th?

 

[temperflare]

Knott and Klein have a VERY BRIGHT future here at Iowa State. They have grown in huge leaps and bounds since last year and will only improve.

Knott, Klein, Ruempolhamer have been our most consistent defenders while McDonough, O'Connell, T'R Benton, Reeves, Sims have made some big plays. IMO, Parker seems slow and maybe is not fully back from his knee surgery. LJ played decent last night but his atrocious games vs iowa and kstate are still too fresh.

LJ is still the best. He had a couple plays where he was just a step late to a pick. I'm gonna say Reeves is our second best cover corner, while Benton is our most versatile, and very valuable to our team playing the nickle. Anthony Young had an alright game, IMO. He had 2 PI calls, but both were questionable. The first he had perfect coverage, but the reciever boxed him out very well. The second one should have never even had a flag thrown. I'd rather have the corner get a PI than be 5 yards behind the reciever.
