Bunting may prove to be more difficult to overthrow than Funchess
Even with a tweeked hammy, Bunting put up a 33" vertical at the opening. Add that to his 6'6" height and he might prove a bitch for ilbs to cover, especially inside the ten. Think you might see him and another of our taller receiver, i.e., Funchess together when we're inside the ten. Pick your poison.
There was a Kyle Meinke piece back in April in which Borges talked about this particular aspect of the transition in offensive philosophy and how they've recruited to it (LINK).
"I’m a tight end kind of guy," offensive coordinator Al Borges said this week. "I tell guys when we recruit them, when this thing’s working the way it should work, you’ll think you've died and gone to tight end heaven."
He also talks about how he tried to carefully define the roles of Williams and Funchess last year so that they did not get overworked at the position, but he seemed very optimistic about the possibilities at TE this year. He also discusses how he wants (and has been working towards) a position group whose players can catch a pass up the middle but also block well. This thread made me remember this article for some reason.
MOOOOAARRRR FIREWORKS !!!!
and some dude said, "You know who may prove harder to overthrow(n) than Hosni Mubarak? Mohammed Morsi." Yeah. Really makes you think.
The Michigan Spring is easier to follow on twitter vs the Arabic spring
No (Egyptian) Politics!
Egyptian Dept. of Tourism Press Release:
"Come to Egypt. Our Kings' Helmets Have Wings."
he also ran a 5 second 40 yard dash. Thats slower than some offensive lineman. You guys underestimate how elite Funchess is. On a whole nother level. Jake butt is very elite too
I'd like to know which offensive lineman is running a sub-5.0 forty. Not a TE, a real honest-to-god 300+lb OL.
Tacopants is real!!!! OMG
I appreciate the info about Bunting. I hadn't heard about it yet, so it was new info to me, so I appreciated you posting it. Don't let the grammar nazi's get you down...keep posting.
Yes, 33 inches is some serious vert, especially on a 6'6" frame. Our QB's are going to have some big targets to throw to, not to mention our WR's are also no longer going to be all 5 foot slot ninjas. The WR's are pretty big too. The future looks bright...
or, as the illustrious TomVH twitter account autocorrection would say, "some serious very"
Everyone has their days of grammar issues. No biggie.
Glad somebody got my joke. Granted, it wasn't very funny.
Imagine if Glenn Robinson suited up as a tight end. 6'6 with a >33inch vertical. And some beef...
I'm excited about these super athletic TEs that will cause big time match up problems for defenses. Notre Dame has had at least one that has caused trouble for our defense in the last 4 years or so. Hopefully they'll be good enough run blockers.
