Fred Jackson: Toussaint is "Michael Hart with speed."

In an otherwise uneventful article in the Freep, not linked here, Fred Jackson goes all Fred Jackson on Fitz Toussaint:

How talented is Toussaint?

"Michael Hart ability with speed," Jackson said, comparing Toussaint to U-M's all-time leading rusher. "The kind of guy that can do Michael's cuts, he can sit down, sink his hips and explode by making steps. He's faster than Mike and a very, very tough guy, like Mike was. He's very similar to Mike. He's not the type of inside runner Mike was -- but he's going to get there."

While Fred is known for a slight tendency toward hyperbole, this is good to hear and consistent with Former Wolv's statement that Fitz was a clear #1 before his latest injury

 

 




"Everyone gets dumped Gabe. Let me give you some advice: a little coverup on your Adams Apple will make it appear smaller. Which will make you appear less like a transvestite."

The last answer in this Q&A strongly suggests it's neck trouble (nothing more specific than that): http://michigan.scout.com/2/996373.html

In that Q&A he also addresses Jackson comparing him to Hart with speed. Says: “I’ll say, I ain’t ready for that statement (laughter). Mike Hart is something else. I’m just not ready for that. I’ve still got a ways too go."

GIve Fred a break - he is not saying Fitz will have the career Hart had, he is saying that, from practice, it seems like he has the potential to. Thus, Jackson is saying that if he had to compare Fitz to a former Michigan rb, Fitz plays, in practice, most like Hart, instead of like Brown, Minor, etc.

This seems like the Fred Jackson equivalent of saying, "This guy sucks at football."

I was hoping for something about our running backs having the legs of a cheetah combined with the teeth of a great white shark and the body of an abrams tank (but maybe needing to work a little more on pass blocking, just to keep the guy motivated).

Have you heard the audiobook of James Earl Jones reading the Bible? Probably converted more people than any Christian missionary.

For a' that, an' a' that, 
Our toils obscure an' a' that, 
The rank is but the guinea's stamp, 
The man's the gowd for a' that.

What does it mean if Fred says something bad about you?

Fred Jackson would describe this man's mullet as "four times as majestic as that of Billy Ray Cyrus circa 1990 or so."

...and by that, I mean helter-skelter, willy-nilly and putt-putt!

Nevermind, I did not realize the injuries he sustained in practices the last couple of weeks were as severe as they apparently are:

Fred, you're a great coach but please shut up.   Your hype probably means he'll never see the field.
