Hawkeye Report Podcast with Phil Parker

On3 imageby: Tom Kakert07/30/24HawkeyeReport

It’s a special edition of the Hawkeye Report Podcast with a huge guest. With fall practice about to get underway in Iowa City, we are honored to have defensive coordinator Phil Parker on the pod. 

We spent 30 minutes with the Broyles Award winner leading up to the start of practice. We open discussing what he enjoys about fall camp before diving into the positions groups, starting with the defensive backfield. What are Parker’s thoughts on some of the battles for playing time, particularly at cornerback where four players could potentially end up as starters. 

We also discuss the use of new technology that will be allowed on the field this fall. How will the Iowa defense use helmet communication and tablets on the sidelines. Which player will have the helmet communication for Iowa? 

We discuss the advantages of Iowa having veteran team coming back and how he might approach fall camp by using the reserves more because of the trust established by the returning starters and trying to limit their exposures. 

After that we talk about the defensive line and how they head into camp with limited depth and how they can potentially build it in fall camp and players who might be in the mix this year. 

We wrap up the podcast discussing Pat Angerer joining the Iowa radio booth and A.J. Edds leading Big Ten Football at the conference level.
