I've read far too many postive things about Clayborn and did not believe for a second that a simple argument was all that was behind that cab incident. I wish him all the health and luck in the world for this upcoming season and what will hopefully be a long and illustrious NFL career.

Oh, and how could I forget: You da man Marc, you da man! This "rookies" feature was like journalistic methadone for my soul-crushing hawkeye football addiction. Keep on keepin' on!

It seems as though Parker's comfort with Hyde -- which seemed plainly apparent this spring -- and the feeling that Bernstine isn't really challenging for a starting spot at this time... It just appears as though we are pleased with Prater and Hyde at the corners. How do we get beat defensively? Teams like Michigan still scare me. It really feels like at this point that our defense has no weaknesses save for maybe both safety and D-line depth.
