Blake Countess Done For Year
Filed under:
A source close to the team has told me Blake Countess has torn ligaments in his knee and is done for the year.
Countess will get a medical redshirt and be a redshirt sophomore next year; in his stead, Michigan has some hard choices. Courtney Avery was not up to the task on the outside against Alabama. Raymon Taylor and Terry Richardson also got in there, though in the part of the game in which Alabama was just running out the clock. This might mean we see a lot more of Jarrod Wilson in the nickel package. Last night he came in and Michigan moved Thomas Gordon down to the nickelback spot.
Also, hurray!

Our viewing party asked the same question. With depth being thin, you wold think that out of all the other scholarship players, there would be a couple that can cover a punt.
But I guess it's just one more reason I am on my couch drinking at 10:30 at night and not coaching college football.

I feel bad for the kid, but it is better that this happened now rather than a few weeks from now. He'll have additional weeks to rehab. We should hope that someone else is able to fill the hole this creates. I guess we can chalk this up as another bonus to come from Dave's Debacle.

I know we have some depth there but it is all unproven depth at the position. Guess Avery/Taylor have to step up and get a birth by fire.

Especially considering this is the second consecutive year a starting corner was injured as a gunner on the very first punt of the season. Lessons need to be learned and they weren't.
September 3rd, 2012 at 2:53 AM |
What lessons need to be
What lessons need to be
What lessons need to be learned exactly - To not put starters on the field for special teams? Ive got news for you - Many teams do this. Urban Meyer has starters in on special teams. Saban had Dee Milliner returning kicks, you think that is less dangerous than being a gunner? You cant play or coach a game scared that someone is going to get injured.
It amazes me how people here immediately start second guessing decisions made by a guy who just took a team devoid of talent to a Sugar Bowl win.
September 3rd, 2012 at 8:25 AM |
You shouldn't put your
You shouldn't put your
You shouldn't put your starting CB as a gunner when you lack proven depth at the position. There's no upside. At best, Countess is going to be, what, marginally better than another scholarship player on punt coverage?
Most people here aren't questioning the practice of putting starters on ST generally, but Countess is a key defensive player at a position of need. Hoke is not above reproach simply because he led the team to a Sugar Bowl victory. This just seems like a common-sense thing to avoid.

Blake is a great player and I wish him a speedy recovery. On the bright side. We have a little depth and he'll get a redshirt. Hoping for better news on Lewan. That's a position with little to NO depth.

Just doing my part to banish irrationality from this planet. You can wish me well later, citizen.
Also, broski, wishing well and praying are two different things.
Inside the Boxscore, you will note that while Hagerup put up some boomers, Bama averaged 16 yards on the returns. Michigan averaged just over 1 yard on our returns.
So it would seem the coaches were putting the best 11 special teams players on the field, and we still gave up an average of 16 yards ...
It sucks that Blake is injured / out for the season. It would appear that the coaches had good reason to be playing him.
(I would like to see video of the play again to see what happened to him.)
