I see a 6-fingered glove. Why is it black and white? Trying to confuse the refs? Maybe a good strategy. |
| 21 weeks 1 day ago | They certainly |
They certainly had longer pro careers. They also weren't as good as the 3 guys above at making people miss, which evidently is a skill I'm biased toward. That said, Leroy Hoard was one of my favorite Michigan RB's of all time and running people over was a specialty. He had a good pro career and is one of my top 5. Wheatley being there as well.

I just realized Jamie Morris holds the NFL record for rushing atts in a game @ 45. Butch Woolfolk is tied for 2nd with 43. All hail 3 yards and a cloud of dust! edit: noticed this while looking for Brady's career stats. Odd that the 3 of the 5 rb's I believed to be the most talented all had early career ending injuries (Tshimanga, Perry, Hart in order). |

Being a 5* in the Senior Bowl is the equivalent of not living up to expectations. You don't see many of the guys coming out who are going to be drafted in the first couple of rounds playing in the Senior Bowl. The Senior Bowl is largely an opportunity for the marginal draft picks to have a chance to improve their position. The top flight prospects (and their agents) look at the bowl as an opportunity to get injured or slip in the draft rankings. |

I guess hiring an old XFL RB as DC would be a step up from Gerg. |

We're better in all phases of the offense now than we were against ND except one that is pretty important: Denard I can't wait for this kid to get better and better and he will, but right now, the biggest thing that's slowing down our offense is the nerves jangling around inside of him. Clearly opposing D's are better prepared to face him than they were when we played ND, but that doesn't change the fact that he regularly overthrows WR's who are wide open for TD's that he would have hit in stride earlier in the year. Missing Stonum on the 2nd drive is an example. Denard has a ridiculous amount of talent... the only thing standing in his way is himself. And finally, Irish and jmblue, in spite of the fact that he's a sophomore who makes a lot of mistakes while playing with a defense that loves to stay on the field, we're still not far from being the highest scoring UM offense of the last 100 years. |
| 1 year 26 weeks ago | Schafer's D gave up |
nearly as many points because he had an offense that had twice as many 3-and-outs as scoring drives. If you combined our 2008 defense with our 2010 offense, you're looking at a Rose Bowl team, plain and simple. |

it's almost a foregone conclusion that Brandon will have RR back next year. If you want to believe DB at face value for his quotes, well, your career in politics will be short lived should it ever start. When Brandon says; "It's not as simple as win-loss records. It's just not. People want to try to make it that simple, but there are so many things you have to look at when you measure the strength of a program." That statement pretty much discounts W-L record as being relevant to RR's job stability, whether it's the horrible overall record over the previous 2 years or our ridiculous B10 record. There have been numerous statements that DB has made over the course of the season that someone less lazy than myself can directly quote that seem to accomodate for RR's unfortunate lack of personnel or that can be inferred from the indication of a recruit who stated they were hesitant to commit due to coaching stability concerns until after speaking with DB. If your point is that there's no quote available from DB that says RR is our guy next year, well, yeah. But it's obvious to minds of reasonable consideration that DB is just leaving himself a wee bit of wiggle room should shit go seriously wrong over the remainder of the season... and it hasn't. RR's back next year and it doesn't take a weather cock to tell which way the wind blows. |

I know that's not one word normally, but it should be. His best non-scramble of the year that he clearly should have scrambled on was that 45yd TD to Jr. last week... the one where Hemingway made those 3 Illini look like they were blindfolded. I'll forgive him for that one. |

What about the stats though? Do you count those? They still played the downs. |
