Harbaugh Interviewed, Several Topics Discussed
Will just post the tweets of the beat reporters, lots of good nuggets here:
Harbaugh met today with beat writers. On Norfleet: "it's our desire he remain at Michigan." said there's a "plan" in place to get his degree

Harbaugh says they have discussed adding helmet stickers for players but it's not defined.

Jabrill Peppers...Harbaugh says "a possibility" JP plays offense...and return...so a three-way player

Harbaugh says no more legends jerseys.

Harbaugh says Drake Harris will be ready to go physically when camp starts, Drake Johnson will be available too, working back to health

Harbaugh is still deciding about how to use helmet stickers (or if he'll use them). Doesn't expect any alternate uniforms this year.

Harbaugh says he feels like he always does before camp...and said he has had his "football dream". always "the final drive" and he's playing

We have the most recognizable and iconic helmet in football. It is perfect just as it is. Perfection cannot be improved.
Please don't clutter it with stickerz to make it resemble a preschool art project, or worse yet - more similar to a buckeye helmet.
You do not want to know just where WD puts his "helmet" stickers...
I think that if Drake Johnson is healthy going into camp, he could easily go and win the starting job because all other running back just did not see the holes or hit them with the amount of power that Drake did last year. I think that Smith is his main competition because he always falls forward. But I think if healthy, Drake is th best RB on the team.
Do we discount Ty Isaac as a factor in the offense too much? In my mind, there's no question who the starters will be if all healthy, it's Ty.
I think it depends. We just have not seen much of Isaac and I just don't know how to judge him, but I think of the running backs we have seen, Drake is the best just in what we saw in November last year.
Agreed - Isaac is the guy with a healthy Drake backing him up.
I'm actually really happy that the legends jerseys are gone! I liked them and I also didn't like them! Sweet!
I like the way they honored the legends, but it should have been for just one game without the patch.
I wonder what happens with Woodson. He deserves to be on the legends wall at Schembechler Hall.
“The Legends jerseys will not exist,” Harbaugh said
Apparently they caused friction in the locker room
Oh, do go on...details? I need more on this!
But Seriously...Thank God for no alternate uniforms, and JP as a triple threat??!!. How many days until the season starts?
Michigan coaches are never going to tell high school seniors and juniors that they can play both ways. Therefore not a great recruiting pitch. I also agree that Heisman talk is silly.
Harbaugh is well known for using players on both sides of the ball. Why not use it as a recruiting pitch, especially as you're doing it again? I recall several recruits mentioning that possibility.
Dymonte on the field too! Too good of an athlete to just stand around!!!
This is music to my ears. He's probably the one player on the team outside of Peppers I am most looking forward to seeing develop.
Dear Drake's Hamstrings
Pleast stay healthy. K thnks Bye...
Please accept this sacrifice of two chicken bones, a lock of my dog's hair, and a can of Miller Lite to let the MI Football Team have a healthy season.
nah fam...

So maybe we get another chance to see the atomic dog?
Drake Harris!!!!
Drake was such a breath of fresh air last season. Even if a run play got broken up or was doomed from the start, he hit the hole hard and ran as hard as he could, fighting for any yards he could. There is a certain urgency about the way he runs that seemed to be lacking in the other backs.
I could definitely see Ty Isaac being our #1 with Drake coming in as a support role. That'd be exciting to see.
That was a lot of unrelated feedback on the Maryland game to pass along your observation that Drake was our best back...
TL;DR - Drake Johnson was our best back at the end of the season last year and the Maryland game sucked.
I'm more excited about Peppers being a 3-way player than I am about me potentially having a 3-way
just a bit too far. Unless you're talking about MMF, in which case I agree.
But....it's like a chicken on a rotisserie.

Don't knock it until you've tried it, old man. Maybe do something your partner would enjoy ;)
And my wife would never go for that anyway. My girlfriend probably would though.
I see what you did there...solid Cincinnati reference. Make it a 4 way and I'm in!
