Story on UM OL and Bronco Starter Michael Schofield
There's a nice story in the Chicago Tribune on former Michigan OL Michael Schofield, who is starting for the Bronco's in the Super Bowl.
LINK: Michael Schofield takes unusual path to Super Bowl with Denver Broncos.
EDIT: This is paywalled by the Trib. Sorry about that. I tried to search for a non-paywalled version, and didn't find it. Hopefully some of the links below work.
It's a feel good fluff article, but still good to see a Michigan grad starting in the Super Bowl.
Here's to hoping for Glasgow's future, and to also see a return to many OL from Michigan going on to the NFL.

Every article I've tried to read of theirs lately is paywalled.
Is it just me? Or did you forget to mention that OP?
February 7th, 2016 at 7:23 AM ^
Paywalled
It would be nice if the op would cut and paste some if paywalled.
February 7th, 2016 at 7:33 AM ^
just try googling the article title and usually can bypass paywall.
I googled orland park schofield tribune--worked for me.

only when I googled then clicked on the WGN link to the Chicago Tribune article. The first few links were at the Tribune website and were paywalled.

Damn Tribune has been doing this for awhile now.

Try "select All", "Copy", and Paste it to a doc/txt file

I have found with the Trib, if you open page, then right click "select all", "copy", you can paste it to a doc or txt file and read it. I just worked for me.

I really hope he plays well. Bronco fans haven't been too happy with him.

I cringed when they drafted him in the 3rd round! a 3rd rounder who didn't get a snap in his rookie year, pretty rare and telling.
he was terrible this year. forced into action with clady and sambrilo hurt. gave up 5 sacks one game against mack. they finally took him off the strong side, and is playing a little better. all in all, not a very good player yet, but oh how I hope he gets a ring today!
February 7th, 2016 at 1:54 PM ^
well he's done se
something right. helped get the team to the super bowl

He is an average O Lineman at best right now for the Broncos. He is a little better in rush protection than pass protection. At times he was brutal and needed to be replaced. So hard as a Michigan fan and Bronco fan to want him to sit. At the same time I am very happy for him to be a Superbowl Champ (Superbowl 50 no less). I really hope he gets better this off season with his hands and feet. I feel like because he is not confident with his hands he leans. When he leans his feet are slow and gets beat to the outside quite a bit. Because he is slow with his feet he is susceptible to the bull rush and gets pressed back into the pocket. He has a lot of work ahead of him to keep his starting job. However, he is a wolverine and hopefully his tenacity with see him through!
Go Blue! Go Broncos!

PFF had him at a +2.7 for the Pittsburgh game so he's getting better.
February 7th, 2016 at 8:44 AM ^
Thanks for the effort...

We'll be reading about a lot of UM alumni playing in the Super Bowl in the coming years
February 7th, 2016 at 9:37 AM ^
we need to hit illinois harder esp at DL. as msu has been doing so.
February 7th, 2016 at 11:19 AM ^
Anybody know what's up with Evans? I read on Mlive his status with the team is unclear. That would be huge blow to their D-line depth.
February 7th, 2016 at 1:16 PM ^
Who is Evans? What's the story there? Clearly I don't know his status, I can't even think who that is. He wasn't a starter, right?
February 7th, 2016 at 4:09 PM ^
He is a big 315lb DT. He is a Frosh who started playing a lot of minutes towards the end of the season even though they had a deep rotation. He's good and would likely start this year along side Malik. His loss would be a big one.
February 7th, 2016 at 5:51 PM ^
evans is #72 right? dont know anything about him other than what i watched this year. hes massive, pretty quick and i thought he had a bright future. that dude impressed by standing out at times this year despite their fairly deep DL

I AM GROOT

Congratulations! You've created a parody account with even less potential than mgoyoda!

I am groot
February 7th, 2016 at 10:03 AM ^
someone please post a working wgn link.
February 7th, 2016 at 10:09 AM ^
wait. the wgn link isn't the same article
February 7th, 2016 at 11:05 AM ^
This may be a hotbed for RR bashing but he has a starter on the OL in the Super Bowl today.
February 7th, 2016 at 12:29 PM ^
Offense was rarely RichRod's problem.
February 7th, 2016 at 1:18 PM ^
But OL recruiting certainly wasn't his strong suit.
February 7th, 2016 at 1:34 PM ^
2008: Ricky Barnum, Rocko Khoury, Elliott Mealer, Dann O'Neill and Kurt Wermers.
2009: Taylor Lewan, Michael Schofield and Quinton Washington.
2010: Christian Pace. WTF?!
The 2010 class was a disaster. Even the 2011 OL class was not good... just Chris Bryant and Tony Posada. I know Hoke was hired late, but he should have tried to pick up another lineman. Even a MAC-level guy would have been better than nothing.
February 7th, 2016 at 1:42 PM ^
Left out Patrick Omameh in 2008.

Your wound will heal more quickly and more cleanly if you don't constantly pick at the scab.
February 7th, 2016 at 12:29 PM ^
I hope this game lives up to the hype.
February 7th, 2016 at 12:55 PM ^
Hodor!
February 7th, 2016 at 1:13 PM ^
This loser is on a roll.
