OT - I was lucky enough to watch spring practice today

yep its funny i'm keep trying to figure out what i saw since it was just a mass of speed and intensity (if that makes sense)...i'm gonna say that ON THAT DAY FOR THAT THREE HOURS (see i have caps button), denard was just "spot on", i.e. with the zone read, passing, and on the run (and also - he did in fact have his cleats tied, no shit..thats all my 7 year old wanted to get out of my trip)and yes i love tate and have no preference as long as we win games, so by no means am i lobbying...heres another good one that just wobbled from my alzheimers riddled head of mush...i saw some power i with coger at fullback...which was pretty much to show i to the defense, not anything they are trying...defense kept giving up that short fucking out pattern that just killed us all year...we were joking the whole day that we were going to "casually" pull rr over and say "hey why don't you try jamming the wideouts once in a blue moon"? they keep giving that damn 10 yard cushion(again i dont know shit so i'm just trying to be a bit funny and i know its not working - never has)...will campbell looked like a giant in the middle of what looked like a modified 3-3-5(yes they ran 4-3 and other base d's as well)...he was blowing up the backup centers (mealer and not sure who else) and the guards but kept getting chewed for being too high...im telling you i don't like see zero defensive ends - just looked too easy to get the edge and go vs 3-3-5...i disliked gergs intensity - i would like to see blood and guts, mean, foam at the mouth "woodley" type mentality on d and i didnt get that AT ALL...i'll try to dredge up some more stuff later - sorry so vague but again there is a reason they are closed practices and thank goodness im too ignorant to even pick out a "secret" anyways, nor would i do that to our wolverines if i did see one...

regurgitating this from guys i was standing near - denard basically had 6 weeks last year to learn rr's system, thus the shotgun and run right (as all of you know)...they were commenting on how he was taking a moment to read the d, make the appropriate decision, not just taking off and going like mad... fyi - didn't see much if any of a vertical passing game...ton of 15 yard outs and screen passes...but they looked fast as hell in "space" once they got the ball... i hope this helps, i wish i could have been more of an analyst than a fan...

section 1 - the guy announcing looked in late 50's and was as big as a house...i saw a punt almost hit ceiling...acoustics were awesome (all that noise wasn't hard on ears at all)didnt even think to look at injured guys, nor would i comment on something that sensitive..it was funny, rr said something like "we make them wear red - i hate red; no one is allowed to wear read anything around here, but the hurt guys) molk had a smile on his face which in turn made me smile thinking about sept 2010 with him back out on field... i'll tell you rr's about as nice a guy and as well spoken as they come...the guys i played college hoops for were arrogant dicks..i almost expect that out of every coach that i talk to anymore nowadays... rr has them playing super hard and fast..nobody walks at all and everyone is at full attention at all times - i would say, at least from the looks of things, these kids are as "all in" as any group he's had...i would however love to be able to compare this to another spring practice somewhere else to get a shear size and speed comparison....

no idea on the points deal...i never knew this would go crazy like this...i'm just happy to be able to bring some positive news about coach r and the kids and how impressed i was with unreal work ethic...can i pay my mortgage with mgopoints ? cant believe i haven't been blasted yet - brian told me it might happen - i was bracing for it...

wow how could i forget...hopkins was great...he's a bull, runs hard, stays low and keeps feet moving - he's gonna be a good one...we are soooo deep in the backfield its silly...mike martin is a brick shithouse - i noticed his mom and dad there wearing all of their "martin" gear proudly...omameh looked fast on the line, at least one of the faster ones for being such a big kid... no pun intended here but you guys are gonna love cox (lol) - he put on a show...he is a classic punishing runner..he deals it out quite nicely and he broke some "spring tackles" quite a few times...he has great balance and never says die... truthfully the best part was feeling like i was part of something so historic for even a few hours...got some pics with heisman's at schembechler, etc...i was pretty pumped about being able to share my experience with you guys as well - wish you all could have went...oddly enough we might be going back on tuesday to get some more line drills for our hs program... heres another good one...a coach told us we could go look at weight room (which is just as sweet as hell - full area with smooothie bar, juice bars, everything you could think of nutritional as well as a shitload of state of tha art racks)..anyways, we overhear barwis talking to a recruit and we just keep walking around when a grad ass comes in and says "hi guys, how are you doing? your going to have to go back out that direction", and points at glick...a nice way of saying get the fuck out...2 minutes later the rest of our staff goes through the whole place like it was theirs and the guy just does nothing...saw barwis's sand pit in the "old" facility (which anyone would dream of having mind you)...

that would be awesome...i cant imagine the size and speed at that level of play...

cluck cluck i am feeling very sleepy...can you tell me how to upload a pic? im also having a bitch of a time with my camera getting them off the card...my computer wont cooperate...
