a shoulder injury, Replogle practiced
with the other D-ends.
But he's likely to enjoy his most suc-
cess on the interior. It's there that he
shares a close relationship with Adam,
due to the fact they share the same po-
sition in college.
Adam, who the Falcons converted
to an offensive lineman after picking
him up as an undrafted rookie, had 15
sacks in his Hoosier career, the ninth-
best in program history.
Jake studies him closely, often
watching game film of Adam's senior
season. If Purdue's playing Iowa, for
instance, Jake watches to see how his
older brother had success against the
Hawkeyes.
"Because Iowa is pretty consistent in
what it does on offense," Jake said. "So
I was able to see what he would do and
the moves that he had. I was able to get
a lot of success from watching Adam.
"I tried to match his physicality. Ev-
ery play he got penetration."
And that's the goal.
"I still have a lot of work to do, es-
pecially if I want to get to where Adam
was and the plays he made," Jake said.
"I've shown flashes, especially at the
end of (last) year, of making plays like
what Adam was able to do. And I think
that is really cool.
"… I don't want to just be another
starter in the Big Ten. I don't want to
be just another player."
