Pipkins
Pipkins
Nice to see Pipkins(56) get the better of Schofield (75). It was only one play, but at least it shows that there might be a little sliver of hope that Ondre might live up to the hype. This happens at 2:09. Also, Kalis passes the eye test.
Donny, you're out of your element!

Was that...
Ondre Pipkins sighting ONDRE PIPKINS SIGHTING.
At 2:07, he handles himself very nicely against Schofield. Good balance at contact and through the play, uses his hands well, gets too high but somehow still fights through to the ball carrier when he looked sealed off.
Rumors momentarily confirmed: technique is a little rough still, but he is very strong at the get-off, and damn does he moves well for a gigantic human being.

One question for people who may know: why is the entire team standing around watching these one-on-one drills? I know this particular drill involves most position groups (and there is clearly something to learn from observing) ... but it seems like a waste of precious practice time?
August 11th, 2012 at 1:11 PM |
They're not just standing
They're not just standing
They're not just standing around, they're waiting their turn. Have you played football before? Very few drills involve all players at once. As soon as those guys are done, three more guys step up and go.

Likes himself some pancakes...nice to see pee-wee...needs to work on staying lower...at least on that play. I seriously watched this video like 5 times...
Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!

Football Edges Closer...
Football Edges Closer...
Great video. Seeing full pads in practice just reminds me that we're inchingever closer to the season.
It was just a brief clip, but I thought Kalis looked pretty good, and I also agree that it was great to see Pipkins out there - he looks like he has the base components (and he moves well too) to be pretty effective as it is. Granted, they're both freshmen, but it is good to see freshmen looking great before they've played one down. Very excited for the coming seasons as well as this one in that respect.
Also, about 2:40-ish...without looking at the roster to confirm, I think that was Bolden and Mateus smothering Houma. That looked pretty good too. Great to see play like that in an August practice.

I will say this about mpbear
I will say this about mpbear
I will say this about mpbear -- he was the only person on scout who said from the beginning of the coaching search that Hoke was the only person really being considered.
Yes I got him a gift. He had a kidney stone. You piss a rock through your pecker, you deserve more than just a pat on the fucking back.

He's built for this thing! Big as a house! I'm excited about his future here at Michigan. You get a little taste of what this kid is going to bring at 2:08.
Yea, I know it's only practice, pads for the first time and all of that. He's going to be great!
