And I suppose a FB kicker shouldn't be a kicker if his feelings are easily hurt.
I say this being firmly in the camp of those who were and are against personal attacks on our players. I'm glad the kid bounced back and went 3 for 3. Very solid and speaks a lot about him.
He had the yips on the last field goal @ KU. It was horrible. Lol it happens and he ended up bouncing back big time one week later. Credit to him for that because he could’ve gone into a complete shell after that.
Certainly not. I'm not saying everything has to be all flowers and good feelings. The offensive staff certainly deserves criticism and needs to adjust what they are doing. But to go back to support your disapproval by saying that the Fiesta Bowl season doesn't really count as a good one because of COVID proves my point that some people will never be happy, no matter how well things go. And I have seen the COVID posts multiple times in here.
Yes credit to him. Should have never been out there to kick that ball at KU. Know who your players are instead of trying to make them in to something they aren’t capable of being in the moment.
Maybe it’s just easier having a background in soccer. If someone has missed 2 PKs earlier in the game and your team gets another one in the 90th minute to win the game, no manager that likes having a job is going back to the same guy that already missed twice unless they are trying to make a point over getting a result.
Not at all, one play and one game at a time. Seeing some adjustments or variations of any type would be very welcome. This season could still turn around and be considered a success at 6-6. I just prefer to be objective and see some enduring changes before feeling more optimistic.
Yeah I sort of feel the same way. I also wouldn’t have had a lick of confidence in our offense in that situation either. And I don’t know if Gilbert goes 3-3 in his next game if he doesn’t kick that one.
It definitely shows either desperation, lack of a plan, or valuing something other than gaining a win.
Is it possible that Campbell knows his players better than we do?
If we were talking about something other than Special Teams I would say it’s possible.
Hey, I remember this game. Iowa State scored 59 points in the 2nd half to win this one.
I've read a lot of posts on this forum over the years and am some how still surprised how embarrassing a lot of you are at times. Sure is a lot of reading in to and creating a narrative about a simple quote calling out folks attacking a young man. Classic ISU overreaction by our sensitive fan base.
A guy who gets paid millions, has 62,000 show up to watch his offense **** the bed 2 weeks in a row, then makes a pissy comment post-game about the fans is ******** any way you look at it.
Didn’t the comment come with context though? Wasn’t he asked about the kicking situation?
They played the clip on iowa everywhere, the comment came in the middle of one of his answers. Not sure what the question was
It sounded to be like he kind of shoehorned it in there but I hold heard the whole quote once. And when I heard the hole thing it didn’t sound quite as damning but I still think the phrasing wasn’t great.
If it's the third one of the round, yes, they are rattled. What's the big deal about admitting the kicker was rattled? He isn't the first.
