KU FB 2024
Re: KU FB 2024
Lindenwood played JD as a pocket passer who would not run, allowing a LB who be their spy to drop into coverage. JD will need to keep teams honest and slide before contact scrupulously. Even a third tier team figured that out. There was no need at all to risk a second half by Daniels--they had one targeting called and another not, so the LBs were bringing the wood as they got free shots. Ballard took advantage of run lanes for QBs almost immediately, so great coaching adjustment there. There was some rust, but overall a clean game at the point of attack.

I don’t think it would have to be just a cheap shot. I mean, a cheap shot could end ANYONE’S season early, of course.JKLivin wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 12:07 pmI was glad they held him out of the second half for two reasons: 1) there's always the chance of a cheap shot that ends his season against a nobody program, and 2) the less film there is for other teams to scout, the better. I am SO tired of losing to KSUck year in and year out. It would be epic to curb stomp them at their house this season.AlOerter wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 11:46 amWith the weapons he has, he will go off against better competition.

We still don’t know if JD is made out of glass or not this year. I agree he’ll need to play smart and avoid contact to help ensure he doesn’t revisit a brittle state.
I do have confidence that Leipold and staff have coached him appropriately on such matters.
Last nights first string offense was mostly vanilla.
Grimm is a good receiver. I think he’s going to be many fan’s favorite at end of year if not already so, and theoretically, in a vacuum, Skinner and JD are going to have some fantastic connections this season.

Re: KU FB 2024
A few people around me were questioning in earnest the choice of uniform.
I didn’t know they were going with this color pattern myself, but I quickly deduced it was a nod to SKC (as well as historically relevant)…we wore these once at least last year too I think?

It's football. You can't avoid contact completely. JD is not made out of glass.

Re: KU FB 2024
JD's history would suggest that he is (at least to some degree) made out of glass. His availability is the difference between a major bowl game opportunity and a so-so year, imho.Back2Lawrence wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 12:46 pmI don’t think it would have to be just a cheap shot.

Re: KU FB 2024
Someone who is often injured, or has an injury repeat to same location in body is often referred to in this manner.DeletedUser wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 12:52 pm It's football. You can't avoid contact completely. JD is not made out of glass.
JD has checked the made out of glass box the last two seasons.
I hope he’s injury free this year.

Re: KU FB 2024
The severity and localization of JD’s injury have been much higher than most players in general.DeletedUser wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 1:13 pmAbsolutely. The same can be said about nearly all top teams star QB. There is some luck involved in staying healthy.
Yea there is luck to avoiding injury in all sports.
I think your argument is moot here, though.

Re: KU FB 2024
I also thought this ( keeping Daniels and Neal in ) but this could be our best season in a while -- let's keep our possible Naismith candidate a possible Naismith candidate.
But lol at Neal's numbers.
8 carries, 112 yards, 2 TDs.

This said, I’m a nerd about places and such, and had I not known anything about where KU played last night, I would have researched it leading up to the game.
At the end of the day, I thought wearing SKC’s colors was really cool.
And as much as I hate playing in Arrowhead, the all Reds (that would be to is team called the Chiefs’ colors, who play at Arrowhead)…
…I believe many here (and throughout Jayhawk nation who ardently support the Chiefs) are going to absolutely cream themselves when worn during games there this year.

Every starting skill position is elite this year. It’s pretty cool.
