7 weeks 5 days ago Best data set on NFL Draftees:

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/draft-history-graphic.htm

8 weeks 11 hours ago Strategic? Implications...

Mathlete argues the opposite of this logic that either he or Brian has put forth in the past: "even though the expected return is higher, the (kick) receiving team should not take touchbacks because the variance of the return is lower (zero)".

The offense should be interested in high variance, big play opportunities.  The defense should be interested in limiting those opportunities, even if that means sacrificing a modest amount of field position on average.

Also, we don't have data for hang time.  I'll bet if you did and you could eliminate shorter punts that did not have superior hang time, the results would look different.

Also to assume a "law of large numbers" approach when you only punt ~40-60 times per season and not account for who you're kicking to seems foolish.  Look at the separation in Punt Return Yards (Average):

15 weeks 2 days ago Trolling argument: "If the

Trolling argument: "If the WDE is an "OLB" coached by the OLB coach Roy Manning, then we have 4 LBs on the field, which is a 3-4 defense."

Explanation:

http://mgoblog.com/content/mailbag-3-4-switch-again-kenpom-basketball-le...

Questions about switching to a 3-4 defense kept coming up last year (because of DL depth issue), and Brian and Co. explained at length over and over again how a 4-3 under is basically the same thing.  So no we're not "switching" to a different defensive scheme.

15 weeks 2 days ago "I presume this means Hoke

"I presume this means Hoke will continue with the nose tackles, Mattison will take the SDEs and 3techs, and Manning will be in charge of both the SAMs and WDEs."

So basically you're saying we're switching to a 3-4 defense then? /trolling

Always seemed like a decent guy.  Awesome career.  Wound up with the Lions.  In one of the Michigan v OSU documentaries he says he told his Dad he wanted to go to Michigan (grew up in Ohio) and his Dad said something like "if you go there, don't come back" so he went to OSU.

22 weeks 5 hours ago The Junior in High School is

The Junior in High School is always more exciting than the Freshman on our roster that just spent the season redshirting (no matter how highly they were rated).

22 weeks 1 day ago Request

Awesome work Seth.  One request:

Could you take a look at the number of Solid Starters you would project based on the roster for 2011 & 2012 (fill in these blanks):

 



Year Total Solid Starters
2011  
2012  
2013 2.87
2014 2.34
2015 3.72
2016 4.24
2017 3.15

I'd really like to know (1) what the expected change was from 2011 to 2012 (since everyone says it was so terrible), and (2) what the expected change is from 2012 to 2013.

Also one comment: Our 2013 projection if Lewan doesn't come back is 1.87.  /shudder. Wooo!

22 weeks 2 days ago Early Signing Period

Best argument for an early signing period is this situation, and kids enrolling early more and more.  A school should be committed to a kid at least some period before he enrolls.  This doesn't work if signing day isn't until February.

22 weeks 5 days ago I think he was starting to do

I think he was starting to do some interviews & then Tremendous popped up.  Brian & Ace (IMO wisely) probably figured the same set of kids didn't need ANOTHER guy harassing them about their recruitment (esp. when all the Tremendous info was freely available).

23 weeks 16 hours ago On top of the 2012 & 13 DL

On top of the 2012 & 13 DL classes, landing Hand, McDowell, and Mone would pretty much be the most awesome thing ever.  I can only think about our opponents thinking, "uh, not fair".

Please stay healthy Tom Gordon.  I don't want two new safeties on the field at once.

23 weeks 5 days ago Speed RBs:

Name, Height, Weight

Denard Robinson, 6'0", 197

Jahvid Best, 5'10", 199

Reggie Bush, 6'0", 203

CJ Spiller, 5'11", 200

Chris Johnson, 5'11", 191

Lesean McCoy, 5'11", 208 

Jamaal Charles, 5'11, 199

Everybody else listed seems to be in the 215-230 range, and consistently under 6'0", with a few monsterback exceptions:

I did read that one scout's opinion, but think a defensive position is silly.  Depends on what you think is easier to learn/fits his skill set better: route running & catching, or pass blocking.  I think he'll find success as "the Vincent Smith of the NFL".
