Random Thoughts
These are my random thoughts on the season and next.
1. I think Michigan can win games with either Tate or Denard, they are both great football players. So why not play both? Tate at QB and Denard all over the place. Even if Denard is a little better at QB Sept 4th.
2. Could Wolfork getting hurt be a blessing? Maybe a high profile recruit sees the scary thin depth and wants to attend michigan now. And even if not, we have some soild CB's returning, or at least more experianced. I still see at least 7 wins out of this team, could cost us additional games this year but still can't see less than 7. And next year the sky is the limit.
3. We have so much depth on offense it's scary. We have 5 RB's that I would not have a problem seeing on Saturdays. And about 7-8 WR's. 3 TE's and 2 deep mostly on the line. And the goal is to score more points than the other team, I know it's not ideal, but I wouldn't mind winning games 38-35.
4. Am I the only person who likes the outlook at LB? 2 Seniors who are directly under GERG and are athletic freaks. And Death Roh. I really think Obi and Jonas will play very well this year. 2nd year under GERG means they have to think less, and look what Robinson did with Stevie Brown in one season.
5. The Secondary looks more unstable than the Detroit Lions Secondary....That hurt to even type. Cam Gordon you better be a playmaker, cause the only interceptions I see us getting this year is if Ricky Stanzi still likes throwing the ball to the other team. However just like the lions, they hopefully won't have to cover anyone for long because the QB has our DLine in his face.
6. Get Stonum the damn ball!
7. Josh Furman will play, and play well. This is a bold opinion. But who really cares if i'm wrong? (you will probabally forget about this post in 5 min) He is an athletic freak and guys who can flat out play football can do just that. I remember watching his senior year highlight tape and I think the shortest run I saw was a 50 yd Touchdown run. ( RB in High School)
8. That is all. These are my opinions, and I obviously am not coach rod or a Analyst so take this however you will. I just felt like sharing some thoughts.

...Rose Marie for the block. please.

Who's Woolfork?
August 18th, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
I'm sure he's no relation to Marcus Witherspoon.

Tate might transfer I dont know if you had heard when you wrote this.
August 18th, 2010 at 9:10 PM ^
And wtf. I don't think so. The coaches said he has responded well. Why wouldn't he have already quit. And that's too many bad things to happen. I refuse to believe.

I got to "experianced ones" and had a fucking seizure and fucking died.
August 18th, 2010 at 9:18 PM ^
I got to "Woolfork"
August 18th, 2010 at 9:23 PM ^
It was actually Wolfork. I made the same mistake.

At least the Yankees are pitching to Cabrera. 2 homers tonight
August 18th, 2010 at 10:34 PM ^
Pitching at Cabrera
August 18th, 2010 at 9:21 PM ^
actually the CB depth just got deeper for next year because Woolfolk will be back.
August 18th, 2010 at 9:22 PM ^
I fudged up. The guy who sold me the pills seemed like a real strait shooter.

Maybe Tate requested that Denard transfer

I think Michigan can win games with either Tate or Denard, they are both great football players. So why not play both? Tate at QB and Denard all over the place. Even if Denard is a little better at QB Sept 4th.
Here is where that breaks down. Given Forcier’s durability issues, maturity issues, and ball security issues, the chances of him making it through an entire season are low, meaning you need to have Denard ready, unless you want to take your chances with a freshman QB for the 3rd year in a row.
Now, QB is a complicated enough position, even when it’s the only one you play. If Denard is busy learning how to be a superback, a slot receiver, or whatever, then he’s not practicing at QB. Quite simply, as long as Denard is needed at QB—either as the primary or as the backup—he will need to spend practically all of his time studying and practicing that position.
I would add that if Denard is the best QB on Sept. 4th, I am pretty sure they will start him. Michigan has options at the other skill positions. No sane coach would put anyone but his best QB under center.
