The five things he learned at practice today. This may have been covered already in the Twitter thread, but that one is getting a little full.

TL:DR - Rudock starts at Utah, OL is has improved, secondary could be good, pass rush is meh, uses the word "stud" in regards to RB's.
August 19th, 2015 at 3:49 PM ^
Metal studs? That's very specific.
August 19th, 2015 at 4:08 PM ^
A little too feminine - IMHO. You should really be using this....
August 19th, 2015 at 4:42 PM ^
But what if you lost yours?
August 19th, 2015 at 4:48 PM ^
Im aching for a stud, but I cant post a pic bc Im at work and cant google "hot sexy studs" right now. Yes I have to work . . . I'm in the film industry (NTFI) Not THAT film insdustry. I work at the australian reptile park.

Its what I do. Making threads worthwhile since September 15, 2013.

Koala's are smarter than I had imagined....are you directing there or just operating the equipment? Or simply reaching for a euchalyptus leaf stuck in the viewer?
August 19th, 2015 at 7:54 PM ^
2 gang electrical boxes and mud rings?
August 20th, 2015 at 9:48 AM ^
Low voltage wiring does not require a box.

His comments on the D-Line make that unit sound mediocre, which is contrary to what Ira Weintraub and Marcus Ray were saying last week. They think its one of the deepest units on the team (even post-Mone injury). Ray thinks Wormly and Taco will be a force at the ends, with Ojemudia coming in as a very effective rush end/LB in certain packages. Ray also thinks Willie Henry will play in the NFL. They agree that Glasgow will be our most dominant D-lineman.
August 19th, 2015 at 3:54 PM ^
Marcus Ray loves the DL? Uh-oh...
August 19th, 2015 at 3:56 PM ^
it's both mediocre and deep?
(I'll save someone the trouble: "That's what she said.")
August 19th, 2015 at 4:13 PM ^
i think the d-line is definitely deep but it remains to be seen IMO if there are any playmakers in this unit...as of now, based on previous seasons, it seems mediocre right now.
August 19th, 2015 at 5:04 PM ^
you sure read alot into those comments. no where is any thing mentioned about mediocre. its like people make things up just so they can worry about something.
August 19th, 2015 at 4:25 PM ^
My analysis -Tom Dienhart is an idiot.

Dienhart's comments actually read more like its Rudock no contest. DiNardo is the one who thinks both QBs play in the opener (which I could see happening as well if Harbaugh sees any chinks in the armor of Utah's secondary and feel like throwing Shane in there to launch a couple of balls deep).
August 19th, 2015 at 3:42 PM ^
To hell with the media, they got us ranked 64th. "Everyone who is for us, is for us."
August 19th, 2015 at 3:50 PM ^

This is literally linked on the front page right now.
August 19th, 2015 at 3:49 PM ^
and?

I don't have a problem with this. We are so starved for content I feel like redundant material on the board is welcome.

Lewis and Clark on the edges, lol.
Ok, it made me chuckle *nerd*
August 19th, 2015 at 4:31 PM ^
Sacagawea?
August 19th, 2015 at 5:12 PM ^
I chuckled.

August 20th, 2015 at 9:51 AM ^
good stuff. Which unfotunately seems rare these days on this blog.
August 19th, 2015 at 5:34 PM ^
And just like that, a fantastic nickname was born. Thanks for the laugh

I chuckled when I read that too...but serious question: is he saying Jeremy Clark is playing corner? I thought he was a safety.

Actually started out pretty good. The fake punt was nice. Offensive line looked ok and defense looked good. When should I turn the channel?

Another uninspired performance by both players and coaches, a halftime 5-star decommit, the stadium with a bigger bald spot than George Costanza, and a drizzly 4th quarter collapse.

In the car afterward she asked "do you always do that at Michigan games?" I asked what she meant. She said "you mostly stand there and just shake your head". I said, "This season, pretty much".
August 19th, 2015 at 5:00 PM ^
August 19th, 2015 at 11:11 PM ^
Well, that's a helluva lot better than what she could have said after watching that.
August 19th, 2015 at 4:31 PM ^
A weakness for too long, the Wolverine front finally looks primed for success. And, that’s good news for an offense that has uncertainly at the skill positions.
Yeah, but the better this group plays, the less you tend to need world-beating play at skill positions generally, or at least in my own opinion. That will definitely help as things continue to improve overall.
August 19th, 2015 at 4:44 PM ^
Agreed. And as the podcast pointed out, much of Harbaugh's offense depends on pre-snap motion to confuse the defense. Bigger chunk plays don't have to come from world-beating athletes, but rather just blown coverage.
August 19th, 2015 at 4:36 PM ^
Repeated material seems like new material when there's so little out there. Harbaugh please give us something!
August 19th, 2015 at 4:41 PM ^
Dienhart asks who is going to pressure the quarterback, then names two line units he observed, and Lawrence Marshall isn't included. I'm disappointed.
August 19th, 2015 at 5:21 PM ^
August 19th, 2015 at 9:32 PM ^
That's the Marshall Plan.
