I personally expect more. Loved Stevie, but he was pretty one dimensional in the run game. Plus the o-line last year isn't of the caliber that is expected of this year. 

 

Agreed, I expect more of a threat for big plays and catches, maybe you give back some pass protection and short-yardage success. But overall a net gain.

One thing we haven't had with stevie was break away speed is that something that carr has? I don't know much about him but know that Stevie was often caught on big plays.

SIAP, but a really good article on Tom Allen. Worth the read for sure

Will vaccinated players be tested?

Only if they are a close contact of someone testing positive. I do know that IU did a different type of testing this week to get ready for the first game. Hopefully, everyone was prepared but I wouldn't be surprised if there is one or two who failed the test. Not sure what the punishment would be for a first-time offender.

So if the whole team is vaxxed then no testing this season?

Yes as long as no one tests postive. But I believe our team is sitting at around 90% vaxxed rate.

How does that 90% align with IU's policy requiring vaccinations?

We are at 91% faculty/staff and 90% student population as of right now. I'm guessing it means that some people on the football team decided to opt for one of the exemptions. Which is OK but you do have to be tested 3 times a week for the university, and wear your mask indoors at all times.

thanks, was just curious how that worked.

Any indication that IU will require vaccine proof or negative test to get into games? I know they said they wouldn't but that was before the recent trends

Hopefully all the unvaxed players are living together and have to sit together for travel.

Have not heard anything like that yet. We're 3 weeks from the first home game so that would need to be announced soon.

Hey Chris, was curious on your thoughts on these helmet pads the guys are all wearing in practice. I don’t remember these in past years. Do you know if they’ve cut down on preseason concussions?

I’m not sure but would be happy to ask someone. I’m all for them if they help just a little bit. I will say we haven’t heard of any concussions that I can think of.

I’m all for anything that keeps these guys 100% coming into the season

Mask policy is absurd. I have no problem with the testing though.
