Lack of any pass rush isn't doing the DBacks any favors.

We have 47 coaches on the sidelines and booth, but none can see our DB come up gimpy after the long throw??? Their coaches picked it out easily!

The Iowa coaching staff might be the best staff in the country prior to the game and the worst staff in the country during the game. And that might be literally true. Lol.

Moulton needs to not go all the way to the sideline. No room to run after catching the ball.
