Spring Has Sprung

Often those without all of the physical gifts understand the key points to success better than those who are supremely gifted, and are able to pass these keys on to others. I hope Sheridan has a long and glorious coaching career.

Nick Sheridan has more guts than most. To do what he did and absorb the abuse he absorbed deserves praise to say the least. He defined himself by the way he faced adversity which says lots about his character. I'll take him any day.

I don't understand why he can't be a student assistant? I know players from other teams that had career ending injuries but they were able to stay on with the team as a student assistant coach

The guy went for over 300 yards against my HS alma mater as a junior (a school that has won four Texas 5A state titles in the last decade and produced Chase Daniel, Greg McElroy, and Tre Newton among others). I love being able to compliment all the speed and shiftiness in the backfield and in our wide receiver corps with a straight up beast who will come out and knock people's dicks in the dirt.

releasing the ball so high.

Tell your brother Steve hello for me.

This is the first practice since the OSU game. I think Tate will be the starter all next year, but we won't know if Denard has passed Tate until the end of fall camp in Sept.

...Jack this season -- in late 4th quarter mop up duty.

this was discussed during last spring

Someone has said that every year - they're just practice unis.

My comments on this post:

Justin Turner looks pretty big.

Tate has a near perfect throwing motion.

The one picture showing T-Rob he caught the ball.

I LOVE the note about D Rob going in as a wideout when not playing QB. Teach him 2 routes - a fly and a 10 yard curl (for when they give him a huge cushion). You complete one deep ball to him and he keeps the DB's honest every time he lines up out there. And we've seen what he can do with the ball in his hands, so throw him a 10 yard stop and he'll be just as effective.

I do what I do.

I also love the idea of Denard at WR on plays when he is not at QB. If he proves to have anything resembling decent hands, he is a deap threat on just about every play. Having him at WR would pretty much force teams to keep their fastest corner on DRob, leaving our other WRs open. And while we don't necessarily have a single breakout superstar receiver - yet - our WR group probably has the best depth and overall talent in the B10. If DRob commands the attention of the other teams best corner, we should have be able to find a mismatch to exploit.

Our PA announcer (Carl Grapentine) would be more apt to say, calmly: "Michigan touchdown, by Denard Robinson."

Gotta love the excitement, here we come spring game! Hail victors go big blue!!!

Hope springs eternal.

And he had his shoes tied.

The reports were that Odoms got a great jump but that Robinson was about to pass him at the 40 yd mark. Still, great to see that Odoms has that kind of burst in short distances

Well, we know there is definately ONE...Molk was a great center last year until he got hurt. I'm with RR, Michigan needs several just in case of injury. Especially since we've all seen what happens when your main man goes down

that Denard may be used more at the wide receiver spot than the slot. Denard isn't very tall, but 5-10/ 5-11 is tall enough and he would give the ability to stretch the field. since we only have 3 wide receivers who aren't true freshman for two spots and we have 4 legit returning players at slot for 1.5 spots, I think he is better off out wide.

I think that DG will become #2 at some point THIS SEASON. I don't see him getting a redshirt. We need him too much and we need to use DR at other positions.

Speaking of video, does anyone know how to get hold of the Recruiting Video that was shown at the Victors Rally a few weeks back? I have heard people all over the media and message boards talking about how incredible it was...I would love to see it!

I've hear rumors that DRob has played SR in the jet package where he has done a sweep and ended up throwing the ball. RR did is a couple times at WVU with White (playing slot) and Brown (playing QB). They didn't run it often, but the situation was different also. I don't really want both in the backfield at the same time, but would love to see both on the field at the same time.
