Mattison expecting a lot from Campell

This from ESPN's B1G Blogger Adam Rittenberg about Greg Mattison's expectations and interactions with underperforming Will Campell.

http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/29810/mattisons-message-sinks-in-for-campbell

One interesting thing about Mattison's ability to motivate by calling out.

 

"He's talking right to Will. Even during condition, he would call him out and say, 'We need you. We need a 3-technique. If you can't do it, you just let me know. No hard feelings.'"

 

Here's hoping that Mattison can put that spark into Will, IMO this will be his final legitamte chance to live up to the hype that he came in with.  Thoughts?

Edit:fixed my title.

Coach Hoke once told me that a moral victory is still a (expletive deleted) loss.

the way you use your transitive property.

A little bit OT, but another great way to use the transitive property.

We all know that (Girls=Time X Money)

We have also heard the saying (Time = Money) therefore

(Girls = Money X Money) or (Girls=Money²) or (\/¯Girls=Money)

The last thing to take into account is that Money is the root of all evil. In mathmatical terms this is(\/¯Evil= Money)

Using my math skills and the transitive property, we can now denounce that (\/¯Girls=Money=\/¯Evil) and that (Girls=Evil)

This is the first legitimate chance Campbell has been given to "live up to his considerable recruiting hype."

Anyone who was able to rationally assess Campbell coming out of high school knew he needed time to develop. The fact he was thrown on the field before he was ready did nothing more than give the vultures fresh meat. He should have been redshirted in 2009 - Sagesse and Banks should've taken his minimal reps.

Combine that with garbage coaching, which led him to ask to switch to the offensive line in 2010, and we should not be surprised that he's had a non-eventful career this far.

If Campbell gets that spark, I really think our front four could really do some damage in the B1G. Martin's already going to demand double teams, and Campbell's size could eat up a lot of running plays up the middle. It'd be great if he improved enough this season to anchor the line after Martin's departure next year...

I actually take grammar quite seriously (correct phrasing too, but I make mistakes as is evident above). I find that good or at least acceptable grammar is used by the majority of mgobloggers, and I try to post in an educated manner as well. A little Michigan arrogance here (additionally fueled by Brady's recent comments), but it's what separates this from any other (*OSU*) blog out there. Plus, it generally makes any point more persuasive, even when the point itself may be vulgar or unprofessional.

So I understand wanting to correct improper grammar, but this "a lot" post is a little much for me. I just make sure what I do is as correct as I can make it, and hope that most others will do that same.

MEANING: THE DEFENSE PLAYS ALOT! Under Rich Rod's Spread Option the offense was off the field quicly, Either they were going 3 and out often, or they hit a big play and scored. Which puts the defense on the field alot more than they need to be. Especially if it's an Average or BAD defense. Which tends to be out on the field for long periods of time to begin with. So for a big guy like Will Campbell who was clearly not in the best shape to begin with. It was hard for him to get ahead of guys who were in much better condition, and could stay out on the field for longer periods.

I don't think that is accurate.  I agree that conditioning may have been a factor but it was not the offense of defense being on the field too long that prevented him from being good.  If that was the case he would have gone out for every third drive or so and tore it up.  That did not happen.
