Joel Klatt passing comment on JJ not being 100%?
November 18th, 2023 at 8:59 PM ^
He got hurt last week vs Penn State.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:27 PM ^
He clearly wasn’t 100% today and rumors pointed towards “beat up” this week
November 18th, 2023 at 8:59 PM ^
He was gimpy after a hit late in the PSU game. He didn't seem to be limping today, but it's possible Klatt knew something, I suppose. Would explain the lack of running, but not so much the inaccurate passes.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:04 PM ^
A saw a video on twitter(x) which has now been taken down of JJ walking with a significant limp after the game. I'm hoping he gets some rest because we need MSU game JJ next week.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:17 PM ^
They did! I commented on it and can still see my comment about him limping, but the original tweet is gone.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:04 PM ^
Michigan reporters said he was limping in pre-game warmups.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:19 PM ^
heard that as well, was hoping i wasn't taking crazy pills.
November 18th, 2023 at 10:14 PM ^
When he came out for warm ups, my BIL. and I were commenting on how he was walking with a noticeable limp.
November 19th, 2023 at 10:53 AM ^
Is that what the announcers meant when they said Michigan looked flat in pregame warmups? That was another comment they said in passing that I wondered about.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:05 PM ^
Footwork has a ton to do with throwing.
I hope he gets some magical healing turkey this week.
Or maybe just sticks to steak and whole milk to be safe.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:20 PM ^
Turkey?!?!?! Talk about a nervous bird!
November 18th, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
I'd be nervous if I was gonna be dropped from a helicopter.
November 18th, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
Les? That you?
November 19th, 2023 at 8:18 AM ^
“As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly”
November 18th, 2023 at 11:08 PM ^
It's ok they are frozen.
November 19th, 2023 at 8:27 AM ^
Best comment from a long day.
November 19th, 2023 at 10:15 AM ^
Ok. They weren't frozen...my bad! I forgot how good this episode really was. Enough to inspire Dan Patricks bat giveaway re-enactment commercial.
November 18th, 2023 at 11:20 PM ^
Weird how there’s so much money on college games but no injury reports required. If he’s not healthy I think that changes the line quite a bit. I guess it’ll be more of a ram it down their throats beat down from ‘21 style rather than throw it over their heads. CJ ran the same route that clipped Ransom the wrong way and didn’t score this time. A better throw and there’s no stress at the end.
November 19th, 2023 at 8:38 AM ^
Mr. Miyagi.Clap those hands.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
If it's a lower body injury it absolutely would explain the inaccurate passes. The reason pressure on a quarterback is such a big factor is because it will cause him to throw off balance because he's rushing the pass and not setting his feet properly. Likewise, if he's dealing with a leg, hip, or foot injury, he is at risk of not setting and planting his feet properly, which throws off the entirety of physics in a throwing motion.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
He wasn't limping during the game.
November 18th, 2023 at 10:01 PM ^
Adrenaline can do that to you. Doesn't mean he was 100 percent or he wasn't.
November 18th, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
I saw him with a slight limp a couple of times, and you could tell he wasn’t moving as freely as he normally does.
November 18th, 2023 at 11:26 PM ^
It doesn’t explain the lack of running. They weren’t going to run JJ today.
November 18th, 2023 at 8:59 PM ^
You been in outer space? JJ was just about listed as questionable today.
no offense meant and actually that was a little jerk-ish of me as I look back that was mostly listed on pay sites.
but yeah, short answer is it’s not his ankle but he was “banged up” and “a little gimpy” this week.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:00 PM ^
Many have said he was limping before the game and also after today. Supposedly he had a big wrap on his knee with ice. It’s unfortunate if he’s not healthy next week because his mobility opens up a lot for the offense.
November 18th, 2023 at 10:06 PM ^
He’ll have plenty of time to heal up after the Big 10 Championship game.
November 19th, 2023 at 1:07 AM ^
If Michigan can score a couple times he can rest during the Big10 Championship game.
November 19th, 2023 at 1:08 AM ^
If Michigan can score a couple times he can rest during the Big10 Championship game.
November 19th, 2023 at 2:45 AM ^
Yea. Maybe in retrospect running it 30 straight times against Penn State wasn’t smart. Or at least including JJ in those runs, because that’s when he got banged up.
November 19th, 2023 at 8:26 AM ^
You play to win the game.
None of this matters if you lose tom Penn State.
Provided he is medically cleared and willing to play in a game like Penn State, you run him when you need him.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:01 PM ^
After 11 games, everyone has some boo-boos.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:07 PM ^
nothing that an ice bath can't cure

Not gonna make any excuses for JJ at this point of the season. A gimpy leg had nothing to do with two very poorly thrown balls where he clearly stared down the receivers, nor did it affect him missing a wide open touchdown to Cornelius Johnson. If anything the fact that Sherrone does not give him a chance to get into any kind of throwing rhythm hurts him more than anything. The OSU quarterback is playing with a heavily taped up ankle and had the other one rolled up on today so all players are playing a little nicked up. He just has to play better, period.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:15 PM ^
Having a messed up leg could very well have a LOT to do with ball placement. You ever try to throw a ball at a distant, moving target off one leg?
November 18th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
He's an armchair toilet handle QB of course he has!
November 18th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
He was moving okay, by all appearances.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:17 PM ^
Good to know that a random guy on the internet is "not gonna make any excuses for JJ."
November 18th, 2023 at 9:29 PM ^
To be fair, this entire site is random guys on the internet.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:32 PM ^
Speak for yourself.
I'm 1989 UM GRAD, not just some random guy on the internet.
(my point totals back up this assertion)

November 18th, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
Tigerd just needs to post better. Period.
November 19th, 2023 at 12:52 PM ^
Not gonna make any excuses for Tigerd at this point of the season. A gimpy brain has everything to do with poorly written posts...
November 18th, 2023 at 10:06 PM ^
OSU QB can kiss my ass. JFC. Did JJ complain whether he is 100 percent or not? No. He has been a trooper. It is all just internet speculation. Cut that kid some slack. How in the fuck you know that he is not nicked up and his footwork suffered? You don't. Sometimes, it is better to give the kid the benefit of the doubt.
November 18th, 2023 at 10:12 PM ^
Tiered,
Wow....who the fuck are you?
November 18th, 2023 at 10:44 PM ^
"Tigerd," total tool and anonymous internetter demands that JJ McCarthy play better. Self-aware much?
November 18th, 2023 at 9:13 PM ^
In the postgame Moore said JJ is all good and Henderson will be back next week.
November 18th, 2023 at 9:16 PM ^
Hopefully, they can have Henderson and Hinton as our tackles next week.
