Collins & Martin will get a chance to play against Purdue......
This is per Harbaugh this am on 97.1......after hearing about blacks injury.
Quote:
“Kekoa Crawford, Nate Schoenle, Grant Perry. Donovan-Peoples Jones is going to play a bigger role. And other freshmen are going to have an opportunity: Nico (Collins) and Oliver (Martin). One of them or both will definitely be in the mix,” said Harbaugh. “We’ve got good players and they have to step up.”

Makes sense. DPJ will take Black's snaps, and Collins/Martin will split DPJ's old snaps.
September 20th, 2017 at 10:50 AM ^
DPJ can make a huge play almost every time. Going to require a little bit of creativity though.

are a lot closer to 1 foot than 8. He's not missing by much, except when he throws deep to the sideline, but that's not a high percentage pass for anybody. Sometimes his misses even bounce off the receivers' hands (I'm looking at you Crawford.)

First game none of the missed Crawford passes were catchable (except the interception). Last couple of games I'm wondering how well Crawford can catch. I'm hoping that there is some adjustment that Harbaugh can make where suddenly everything clicks. Am I too hopeful?

Maybe we've been watching a different QB all year. His misses haven't been close.
There's an absolute fine line you have in terms of error as a QB. He's definitely way beyond that line and needs to reel it in.
September 20th, 2017 at 5:51 PM ^
I think his 1 foot miss measurement was what he eyeballed on a very large TV. On a real life scale it would be more like 8-10 feet like we all know and see
September 20th, 2017 at 10:46 AM ^
This seems obvious.
September 20th, 2017 at 10:47 AM ^
I heard they're going to put Nico and Oliver in the same uniform and have them play RG.
September 20th, 2017 at 11:01 AM ^
It's actually going to be Oliver standing on Nico's shoulders to create a more effective fade target.
September 20th, 2017 at 11:30 AM ^
Kid is Darboh but taller. We've got this insane class of freshman receivers so who knows when Collins or Martin will get an opportunity.
September 20th, 2017 at 12:03 PM ^
run a 4.4 at the combine? I don't think Nico is running better than a 4.6 at this point.

Tacopants?

I don't want to ruin your white receiver generalization, but Welker is 5'9" and Martin is 6'1". Oh, and you forgot that he's scrappy, brings his lunch pail to practice with him, yadda yadda.
September 20th, 2017 at 2:12 PM ^
September 20th, 2017 at 2:46 PM ^
Closer to Kirk Gibson, I think.

Not big enough
September 20th, 2017 at 10:54 AM ^
Can either of them punt?
September 20th, 2017 at 10:54 AM ^
September 20th, 2017 at 12:14 PM ^
of his Monday presser. I felt bad for the beat. Harbaugh was having none of it.
September 20th, 2017 at 12:25 PM ^
I would love to see what all the whiners on the board(s) would say to Harbaugh about all their complaints if he was standing in front of them with that stare.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:54 PM ^
He's just a person. It's not like he is going to grab you by the ears and bite a piece of your face off. Or would he?
September 20th, 2017 at 10:55 AM ^
I don't think it's at all a sure thing either will play against Purdue. The post title sort of implies otherwise. Whatever. I'd love to see these two guys in action soon. I think Martin in particular is going to be a special player for Michigan. Beat Purdue!
September 20th, 2017 at 11:11 AM ^
September 20th, 2017 at 12:18 PM ^
Martin has been hurt though right?
September 20th, 2017 at 12:35 PM ^
September 20th, 2017 at 10:55 AM ^
McDoom is a capable passcatcher, is he not? Also, Eubanks' long reception against Florida had a very Funchess feel to it. Could throw him in the mix, too.
September 20th, 2017 at 11:08 AM ^
September 20th, 2017 at 11:17 AM ^
and we need a passer to get the ball to them.
September 20th, 2017 at 12:33 PM ^
Has Speight struggled a bit this season? /s
How about another 1,000 posts piling on the dude? I love how all the keyboard warriors kick around a college kids working his @ss off to entertain us. I would love to see what they people would say to Speight if they actuallly were in a room with him and his teammates.

"Best of luck and Go Blue!".
I was in A2 after the Cincy game with my 10 year old son. We saw Tyree Kinnel at Revel N Roll after the game with his familly.
My son went up to him and asked for a picture. Not only did he take the picture but he chatted with us about the game and asked my son about his team (my son plays QB). He was an absolutely first class guy on top of being a first class player.
I haven't met Wilton but from what I have seen of him - he seems to be a first class guy. Not saying there isn't room for improvement and that fans can't point out his inconsistent play but I am not going to sit here and $hit on this kid or his teammates when they are working their @sses off.
The meltdown on this board (and others) the past 3 weeks and the folks piling on Wilton has made me lose some respect for certain parts of our fan base. I know other teams have that same element, but I thought we were better than that. We are not.
September 20th, 2017 at 4:33 PM ^
Love of everything holy, get off your high horse.
No one has said anything negative about Wilton Speight as an individual. He's a good kid, he comes off very well-spoken in interviews and I don't think ANYONE here has a problem with him the human.
Some of us have a problem with him for the lack of progress he has made, and the almost backwards trajectory he's gone on since last year. Do I think he can be better? SURE, of course I do. He was pretty solid last year. But from what we've seen in the first three weeks, he's been wildly inconsistent and just not that great. And that's been very disappointing to see ON THE FIELD.
It's a message board. We are here to dissect the product on the field, not off the field. The product on the field definitely needs a lot of improvement, the majority of which on the offensive side if they want to compete at the top of this division.
Stop taking us being critical of his performance as the starting QB to an attack on him. You don't need to defend him, he's a big boy, he can handle it.
I have more respect for people who don't just say, "YAYYY GO BLUE!" every week, and can actually look at what they've seen. The whole "We are 3-0, shut up" crowd is more frustrating than the ones who watch this with a critical eye and know there is a lot that needs fixing.

Perhaps you'd care to show me where I shit on him as a person?
No?

Sorry, but that just struck me as a cool story bro opportunity.

Write another 1,000 posts telling us how mean you think people are online. Very interesting and helpful stuff.
September 20th, 2017 at 10:24 PM ^
One of his best friends on the team told me that he told or tells him to his face that he's playing bad, and that some other players tell him too! It's not like fans are the only ones that notice..We've heard Wilt say it himself publicly at times.

whenever McDoom gets on the field. Granted when he goes in motion he's pretty damn hard to stop but catching a few more passes here or there might help him shake that stigma and open things up for the rest of the O.

McDoom's only run 3 times through 3 games,
