Yes, but I'm not telling.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:33 PM ^
he was benched because all he does is give up 70YARD td'S!!!!!!!!!
September 28th, 2009 at 12:34 PM ^
His backside, from being beaten so badly.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:37 PM ^
From the stands it looked like he first left the game b/c his shoe came off. After that it looked like he was perfectly healthy - he was standing on the sideline w/ no medical people around - and just got benched.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:37 PM ^
but not in the body part you think
September 28th, 2009 at 12:41 PM ^
I was standing directly behind him right before halftime, and he definitely wasn't injured. He did look kind of pissed, though.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:43 PM ^
said in the press conference that the position is wide open for starting against little step-brother.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:44 PM ^
later they are going to have to give him or floyd safety help on every play and just let DW lock up man to man. kind of like what they did in 97. IU's QB wouldn't even look at DW's side of the field on about 90% of the passing plays.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:53 PM ^
when it really comes down to it, I hate all cornerbacks. they all suck. very rarely is there an honest to god stellar corner.
D Warren is not stellar. he's serviceable. ugh.
my most hated position group.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:24 PM ^
is very hard. It's like being a basketball player who never gets to play offense. Everyone gives up some points eventually.
September 28th, 2009 at 6:36 PM ^
Remember Charles Woodson? Wow did that guy ever blow.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:53 PM ^
I would really like to see Justin Turner out there. I honestly thought he would have the second-most impact of any true freshman, second only to Forcier. There's still plenty of season left.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:55 PM ^
RR said in the press conference that Turner is getting better every week and will have a chance to contend for some playing time.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:54 PM ^
Yea, Cissoko's play has been a bit eratic (thats a bit mild and PC right?) this year, but I thought it was still a downgrade when Floyd came in. I thought Floyd really struggled, and doesn't seem to have the physical abilities and movement that Cissoko has (though of course he has the height advantage).
September 28th, 2009 at 1:34 PM ^
and is stressed out in the game ( leading to even more bad decisions).
Give him time, once he breaks out of the funk, he will be serviceable.It is not like the B10 is chock full of Calvin Johnson's. If he fixes his mental issues , he will be decent.
I wouldn't be too hard on JT Floyd either. It is amazing how much faster you can run when you are not so nervous that you constantly feel like puking. He will be a good but probably not great corner by his Junior year.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:56 PM ^
I thought he was sufferring from third degree burns from the ND game.
Seriously though, I was hoping it was an injury keeping him out because otherwise it is simply that he isn't out performing Floyd which is not good news IME. We need Turner to get up to speed ASAP.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:06 PM ^
Its his 3rd degree bruised ego
September 28th, 2009 at 1:12 PM ^
Guy just needs to start playing decently. Frustrating to watch.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:09 PM ^
RR is just sending him a message about his play. Yes, he did hurt his shoulder and I'm sure is a little nicked up in other areas, but thats contact sports for ya. He was removed from the game because he is not playing to his potential for some reason. I like the move personally.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:17 PM ^
I think the key to the defense is getting pressure up front. That makes up for a lot of our other deficiencies. Imagine if Woodley, Branch, and Watson were still here. They would make things easier for the CBs and LBs by 10 fold.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:23 PM ^
How about:
Woodley DE
Branch DT
Watson DT
James Hall DE
Gold OLB
Foote ILB
Crable OLB
Woodson DB
Law DB
Shazor DB
Ray DB
Seriously though, who cares about the "imagine if"....We have to live with what we have now and lets hope it starts looking better from here on out.
September 28th, 2009 at 2:12 PM ^
about half those guys you list got shredded for 50+ by northwestern back in 2000. i was, unfortuneately, there. we couldn't stop the spread then and still haven't gotten it yet.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:23 PM ^
The only player on that list who played in 2000 was Foote.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:25 PM ^
I played corner in HS and the guy does not seem to execute basic corner fundamentals - 3-step drop, look at hips not face when assessing route, etc. All these things you learn early on and I just don't see that from him. His coverage reactions are very late. One of the only plays where his coverage was excellent was on the pass interference that was called against him on the EMU game. Position wise, playing corner can be extremely humbling as we can see - when you are burned, everyone knows. But damn, you have to at least execute the skills the position demands in order to have a chance at mitigating negative plays against you.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:26 PM ^
is a 19 year old true sophmore. I think we would all agree that we want him to succeed. Therefore, the last thing he needs is fans riding his as* for not performing. He is probably doing his best right now. Let's root for him to do well and support the heck out of him. It is in the best interest of all UM nation.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:32 PM ^
he's recovering from being burned so badly every time he touches the field
September 28th, 2009 at 1:45 PM ^
/burning jokes, please
He's been bad, but I have faith he will turn it around. The kid is a heck of an athlete and looked great last year. Someone mentioned earlier...whoever is across from Warren this year will get picked on and once he works a little more on technique, I think he will be fine, just my E.
September 28th, 2009 at 2:03 PM ^
I see the potential in him. He's got the athleticism... he just needs to bring up the skill to go with it. I hope, for his sake, he gets it quick before one of the Freshmen overtakes him.
September 28th, 2009 at 2:43 PM ^
problem might be that he played in the Detroit PSL. Now I don't claim to know anything, but I've heard the coaching in this area is sub-par compared to other major cites like Dallas, Cleveland, Miami, ect. I wonder how good some of those freak athletes that come out of Detroit would be if some of the West side coaches were over there.
