Mattison expecting a lot from Campell
This from ESPN's B1G Blogger Adam Rittenberg about Greg Mattison's expectations and interactions with underperforming Will Campell.
http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/29810/mattisons-message-sinks-in-for-campbell
One interesting thing about Mattison's ability to motivate by calling out.
"He's talking right to Will. Even during condition, he would call him out and say, 'We need you. We need a 3-technique. If you can't do it, you just let me know. No hard feelings.'"
Here's hoping that Mattison can put that spark into Will, IMO this will be his final legitamte chance to live up to the hype that he came in with. Thoughts?
Edit:fixed my title.
I'm expecting a lot from Mattison
And Mattison is expecting a lot from Big Will
So if so facto...
Fuck Dantonio in the ear.
Ipso Facto?
I typed in "if so fact so", cus I'm retarded, and it returned "if so facto".
Fuckit. You get the idea.
That was worth a good laugh
It's a little known latinglish phrase.
the way you use your transitive property.
A little bit OT, but another great way to use the transitive property.
We all know that (Girls=Time X Money)
We have also heard the saying (Time = Money) therefore
(Girls = Money X Money) or (Girls=Money²) or (\/¯Girls=Money)
The last thing to take into account is that Money is the root of all evil. In mathmatical terms this is(\/¯Evil= Money)
Using my math skills and the transitive property, we can now denounce that (\/¯Girls=Money=\/¯Evil) and that (Girls=Evil)
Mathematical mysogyny. Who'd o' thunk it.
Stumbleupon
denounce = deduce?
Im expecting more from our coaching staff than i am from and ONE kid at Michigan.
This is the first legitimate chance Campbell has been given to "live up to his considerable recruiting hype."
Anyone who was able to rationally assess Campbell coming out of high school knew he needed time to develop. The fact he was thrown on the field before he was ready did nothing more than give the vultures fresh meat. He should have been redshirted in 2009 - Sagesse and Banks should've taken his minimal reps.
Combine that with garbage coaching, which led him to ask to switch to the offensive line in 2010, and we should not be surprised that he's had a non-eventful career this far.
...was unfortunately missed:
"We need you. We need a 3-technique. If you can't do it, you just let me know. No hard feelings. Now look me in the eye so I can rub a stuffed animal in your face.
That's motivation. Mattison "gets it".
I dont know what it is for
DENARD?
A five star athlete? Something u cant wait for with this coaching staff and u want to call out a kid?
Picture. Somebody help me out!
but I know who might be able to help:
I want a pet alot a lot.
allotted one alot.
If Campbell gets that spark, I really think our front four could really do some damage in the B1G. Martin's already going to demand double teams, and Campbell's size could eat up a lot of running plays up the middle. It'd be great if he improved enough this season to anchor the line after Martin's departure next year...
A LOT. There is no alot. Alot is not a word. The wordS are a lot. You have a lot of things just as you would say a parking lot. It is not aparkinglot.
grammar nazis here?
I enjoy the fact that many people here like to see acceptable english used.
And he is right. It's a lot. That was one of the first things I thought of as well. What really gets me boiling though, is there their they're. Those and then/than.
The errors you cite are the kind of language
up with which
I will not put.*
*to paraphrase Winston Churchill
Mine is bias/biased. And lose/loose.
...them all. Add cache/cachet to the list.
I actually take grammar quite seriously (correct phrasing too, but I make mistakes as is evident above). I find that good or at least acceptable grammar is used by the majority of mgobloggers, and I try to post in an educated manner as well. A little Michigan arrogance here (additionally fueled by Brady's recent comments), but it's what separates this from any other (*OSU*) blog out there. Plus, it generally makes any point more persuasive, even when the point itself may be vulgar or unprofessional.
So I understand wanting to correct improper grammar, but this "a lot" post is a little much for me. I just make sure what I do is as correct as I can make it, and hope that most others will do that same.
There should be a comma before the word "too."
I really am.
Nevertheless, never the less became nevertheless at some point. However, when how ever became however I don't know. No really it'll be all right, alright.
HIs Dudeness can let a lot shit slide but whenever the non-word "alot" is used he is on the poster like Tressel on a severance package.
on Martin more times than not. I'm expecting big things from Big Will. This could be a damn good front four this season if Big Will can just play at a moderate level. He doesn't even have to be great. Just show up!
I'm just curious why someone like Will Campbell hasn't performed up to the hype? I never thought Terrelle Pryor lived up to his hype, but I thought it was because he just wasn't very smart and a quarterback has to be smart. But why Will Campbell? Any thoughts?
that he has recorded five tackles and a couple pass break-ups in 25 games even though he was regarded as the best player out of Michigan high schools in 2009. Also that he may be lazy, and his ethics have occasionally come into question.
I think he's great though, if he needed a place to stay or a child to steal candy from, I would gladly offer mine.
His ethics? What in the world do his ethics have to do with his defensive line play?
I don't know about at Michigan but if we were talking about an OSU defender it's his willingness to choke Jim Sorgi half to death after the play has been whistled over.
Time to move on. That happened during the first Bush administration.
2003? That was Carter.
/s
Still happened on Cheaty McSweatervest's watch. I am not ready to forget yet.
Work ethic, maybe.
There have been some rumblings that he had conditioning and technique problems, so with three different D-Line coaches, he should do reasonably well.
(1) He was "coached" in the PSL.
(2) As a guy who was 6'6", 320 pounds, he never really relied on technique and PAD LEVEL much in high school (ever seen the famous pic of him throwing a guy at camp?)
(3) His first two years he lost a ton of weight and then built up a lot of weight again, probably causing him to adjust to strength and leverage changes in his body;
(4) face it - he was on the field way, way too early and was not given the coaching that he required;
(5) he then makes the choice, out of frustration, to switch to guard last year during the open week.
(6) the 3-3-5 wasn't the best formation for him to play in. He was going to get doubled every play and he wasn't yet ready, in terms of strength or technique, to deal with it.
As I said up the thread, I don't blame the player. This past March was the first time he had ever gotten legitimate technical coaching and training in his life. It sounds like he is responding nicely to the challenge.
MEANING: THE DEFENSE PLAYS ALOT! Under Rich Rod's Spread Option the offense was off the field quicly, Either they were going 3 and out often, or they hit a big play and scored. Which puts the defense on the field alot more than they need to be. Especially if it's an Average or BAD defense. Which tends to be out on the field for long periods of time to begin with. So for a big guy like Will Campbell who was clearly not in the best shape to begin with. It was hard for him to get ahead of guys who were in much better condition, and could stay out on the field for longer periods.
I don't think that is accurate. I agree that conditioning may have been a factor but it was not the offense of defense being on the field too long that prevented him from being good. If that was the case he would have gone out for every third drive or so and tore it up. That did not happen.
Not every 5* kid is going to be a world beater. 3* Mike Hart kept 5* Kevin Grady on the bench for 3 years.
Maybe he just wasn't ready. Maybe he's not as good as people thought.
ALOT!
