Spring "Game" Thread / B1G Elite 1997 Michigan Team Thread
I like Marcus Ray as an analyst.
Gardner looks not very good, but everyone else on offense is better than I expected (yay, lowered expectations). I know the defense is pretty vanilla, but the O Line seem to be getting their assignments way more than I remember them doing last year.
Our secondary is impressing me, I think a few of the young guys are going to be pretty good. They're playing a lot tighter coverage for sure.
Overall, I hate how things look so far.
Then don't watch. It's a practice.
Spring game is a success then!!
when you change your username to "FreddyCanteen", do you have to start back at zero MGPs?
Thank god from aggressive pass coverage
Our offensive line does not look like it improved much at all >:(
I want to see Delonte play this year.
Damn Hollowell with that hit
Gallon just got decked by Delonte
New NCAA "Gallon" rule where he has infinite eligibility.
A man can dream, can't he?
G Glasgow as RT, interesting.
Obvious facemask that didn't even prevent big gain: "That's a good defensive stop right there."
Shepard is killing me.
Thank god these Maize uniforms are only for the spring game.
.... I hope, all other M teams seem to have a hard on for yellow as our main color.
IMO
Sports Maize works in: Basketball, Hockey, wrestling, volleyball, soccer
Sports it doesn't work in: Football, softball, baseball, lacrosse
And for soccer I think all white looks so crisp and classic, I'd rather see that than mazie. Volleyball and wrestling are iffy ones for me too.
Well at least Freddy Canteen looks good! Living up the hype so far.
No excuses now - this is a Hoke team. Let's go Blue!!!!
That is what I like to see from Green!
I hope that he can actually break tackles in the future.
... yup
I don't know what you're basing that on. Morris is our best passer, IMO. We have a very capable backup.
So we are still useless against the blitz. even a delay blitz.
Well, Poggi really got owned on the edge there by...a TE? What?
Mason Cole looks really good. My prediction he's a starter. I don't know if he'll displace Braden or Mags, but he looks better than what I've seen from both so far.
Well you haven't seen anything from Mags. He's injured.
Saw him last season (this year) in his second year in the program. Cole after only a few months in the program looks better.
Start where?
I can see either Mags coming back to play LT, bumping Cole to LG or vice versa,
Nice block from Glasgow to open up a hole for Hayes
This year looks like its going to be more brutal than last.
Wow, seriously? It's frickin April. They're not playing Appy State next week.
This guy has posted nothing but negatives.
DL makes a play? "OL still looks like shit"
Green gains 5 or 6? "DL still can't do shit"
And getting a hefty MGoReturn on his investment.
This year looks like its going to be more brutal than last.
Khlid Hill missed that block
That was a good enough pass, but a more amazing effort by the secondary.
Ouch Khalid Hill got owned by Brennan Beyer
I might be in the minority but with this offense being so young I'd like to see the defense dominate. Other than 1 S and the DTs this defense has experience everywhere and needs to dominate for UM to have a good season. Not MSU 2013 dominate but top 2-3 Big 10 defense. They should be smothering this offense that is aside from Devin and Funchess and Glasgow all underclassmen.
Even with an experienced offense the defense will usually be ahead this time a year as defense is read and react and offense is everyone being on the same page which takes time.
