The question is who's more important; Glasgow or Rudock?
November 29th, 2015 at 11:00 AM ^
without any doubt. I think they would do okay with Speight.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:01 AM ^
I actually disagree. Rudock has been playing really well second half of the year. You could see a very clear drop off when Speight came in yesterday.

Yea. I tend to agree. Jake has been lights out the last 4-5 games.

Rudock. Glasgow is better than Rudock, as good as Jake has been Ryan is just a terror. But the drop off from Jake to Speight is much larger than our platoon of Hurst/Henry at Nose without Glasgow

especially for a team that struggles to run the ball.
November 29th, 2015 at 12:42 PM ^
Exactly. It's unfair to Ryan's skill to compare his unit of 3-5 dudes to the single most important position on the team.
Suh dominated in Detroit for a few years but he was never more important to the Lions than Stafford, and Stafford is ass.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:00 AM ^
I'm sorry, I don't know the chances.

If he has a pect major tear it very unlikely.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:15 AM ^
If the injury is a torn pectoral, the recovery is usually around 6 months. Even spring practice may be optimistic.
As mentioned above, I think Rudock's availability is the biggest injury concern right now. I think Michigan has enough players to manage on DL without Glasgow for one game. I think the offense could potentially fall apart without Rudock.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:29 AM ^
we'd have seen the last of him. Sad for him and for us. Wonder if someone's redshirt will be burned for a bowl game.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:45 AM ^
We will see Glasgow play next fall.
November 29th, 2015 at 2:26 PM ^
with the spring practice availability, not Glasgow. Knew [Ryan] Glasgow had another year, but can't keep my torn pectorals straight from my unspecified shoulder injuries. Sorry for the confusion.
November 29th, 2015 at 12:09 PM ^
So he has another year of eligibility (link).
November 29th, 2015 at 11:17 AM ^
At first when it occurred, I wondered the same. How long? But after a little bit of Googling, I realized it's not just a boo-boo. Now that I'm partially aware I realize that it's a much worse injury than I thought when I was totally unaware. Torn chest muscles don't heal in two months.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:03 AM ^
The chances are about 70-50 that he might or might not play.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:26 AM ^
Wait what?
November 29th, 2015 at 11:47 AM ^
boom mathed....lol
Yeah, I don't get it either.

Ok ya 'ol vet you
November 29th, 2015 at 12:38 PM ^
70% yes, the other half is no. Thanks Yogi!
November 29th, 2015 at 12:55 PM ^
About 60 percent of the time, he'll play everytime.

Prayers for both
November 29th, 2015 at 11:18 AM ^
It would have been a horrible decision to waste an entire year of eligibility playing in that shitshow yesterday.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:53 AM ^
Not to mention the impact on Mone's draft prospects. If he's a potential 1st or 2nd rounf draft pick brining him back for a single game could cost Mone millions.
November 29th, 2015 at 5:24 PM ^
Mone! *Apprentice theme*
November 29th, 2015 at 5:25 PM ^
No it wouldn't.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:23 AM ^
in part on whether M can use the 2 weeks of bowl practice to improve the OL run blocking. With a functional run game Speight instead of Rudock is less of an issue than with the way the running game has been in November.
Also depends on the style of offense the opponent runs. A good tempo read option offense will be tough for Michigan w/out Glasgow. See IU and OSU games.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:36 AM ^
by perimeter runs not up the middle run plays. Glasgow would have had little impact stopping those runs. Both Indiana and OSU exploited the outside run weakness using the option scheme.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:55 AM ^
Yep, are problem was Bolden. Really like what the team accomplished this year, but our LB's blow. Having had some time to think about yesterday's game sober, can't be completely shocked. It's been mentioned before, we say what Indiana did to our D, but we couldn't overcome due to a good Ohio D. Also, Urban Meyer is still a coward for bowing down to his "Carl Rove" like RB.

mostly correct. I guess I was sloppy with using the 'read-option' terminology.
But the general point remains, that M's depleted d-line performs still can perform quite well against traditional 'pro-style' offenses, but has problems against what IU asnd OSU did.
November 29th, 2015 at 4:29 PM ^
however, I wouldn't underestimate the importance of a penetrating NT on even stretch plays. When you get interior penetration to the playside of the center, it mucks up backside linemen moving laterally toward the playside, and can also screw up interior linemen trying to release to get second level blocks. That keeps linebackers clean to move laterally with the stretch run.
Not saying it's everything, but there's a big knock-on effect by causing troubles in the middle that ripples outside.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:38 AM ^
Get him on the same meds as Ray Lewis and he'll be back in a week
November 29th, 2015 at 11:45 AM ^
I though Glasgow was solid this year, but when did he become this monster that was the basis of our whole defense? Seems to me he was our 3rd or 4th best D lineman at best. What I do think it hurt though was that Henry had to move back inside more, he was much better outside.
November 29th, 2015 at 12:16 PM ^
Uuuuuh he was best and most consistent D lineman by quite a bit. I think if you were to check the UFRs, you'd agree.
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
November 29th, 2015 at 5:16 PM ^
You don't need the UFRs, just watch any game this year and you can see with your own eyes of him consistently knocking back any o-lineman he goes against and tossing them aside.

I don't think you've been paying attention. Glasgow was an unblockable beast this year.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:52 AM ^
don't have to face a L. Fournette - type in any bowl game.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:53 AM ^
Would be great to get both Glasgow and Rudock back for the bowl game. Rudock really stepped up near the end of the season. No way Michigan sniffs 9 wins without Rudock.
November 29th, 2015 at 11:55 AM ^
Was he coaching the second half?
November 29th, 2015 at 12:25 PM ^
