will be a small step back. we have leadership and talent htat is progressing. next year is hwen we will see a jump in expectations and hopefully performance. in GRIII and Mitch stick around for 203 years UMBB has a chance to build a program that has not only top coaching but top talent. Mitch was a huge get and if he pans out (even one and done), it shows that UMBB can highlight topflight players and improve their stock which is huge in recruiting. If UMBB can make the tourney this year it only helps the process but I feel like this season is just putting water in front of the dam and next year is when the dam breaks and the program starts to content annually for B1G titles |

those numbers really paint the picture...and its not pretty. its not so gross you want to rip it off the wall but you definitely hide it in the guest bedroom. denard is an athlete that lines up at qb. the proof is in his reads and his throws. ive run out of fingers and toes to count the number of long throws hes missed...by yards. the wr might not always be open but halfway the time he doesnt even give the wr a chance to make a play. and he doesnt check down hardly at all (latest exception being the koger pass out of the flat vs. iowa). bottom line is that denard is what he is - a runner. um needs to run him more. law of averages says you run him enough and hell break a big one. that should help open up the passing game so he can make easy throws to open wr's. i dont think you can play to not get him hurt - "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!" and i dont think you can play him in borges offense. heres to him proving that statement wrong next year but its not gonna happen this fall. |

pretty sure you never want to run a trick play or a variation of a trick play without attempthing something similar in a previous game. you never know how its going to work out and you dont want to give good teams any help by turning it over on a trick play. IMO the main purpose of these plays was to get the offense's feet wet with new formations and get other DCs thinking about WHATELSE we could run from these sets - not just the plays they ran (isn't there some quote about only 10% of an iceberg being above water - you get the idea; more too come...denard in the slot?). probably havent seen more of these because they had to install a new offense and trick plays are generally the last thing you put in. im excited to see whatelse AB has in his bag of tricks (if we start faking fields goals twice a game like another team i know im going to get upset tho). |

I liked that he started out saying "I feel..." then quickky corrected himself and said "we feel..." TIMO this illustrates one of the biggest changes in the entire team in that all of the players are in it together and play for each other. Not only does it help this team but i think recruits will come in and see the infectious attitude and want to be a part of it. I hope the attitude stays the same if they lose a game |

when Mcgary decides to cancel some of his other visits. UM would be silly not to send an army to recruitt his guy so the fact that they did just shows they want him and thin they can get him. parents often times need as much recruiting as the player so smart move by coach B but also a necessary one. you think he dropped a "you know duke is tabacco road and tabacco is bad for you mmk"? |

that is one of the best quotes ive heard in awhile (said while arguing with idiot roommate over proper use trashcans - as in trash goes in them and not on the ground next to them). but annnnway, back to demens. thats stats speak for themselves - you want your MLB to lead your team in tackles...and he is. kind of reminds of david harris: he didn't make a ton of flashy plays and you didnt hear his name because he was doing his job. obviously, demens is not on the level as DH but i think they play the same (or at least demens has thus far this year) in that they just go about making tackles and not letting the other team run it up the middle for 45 yards and a touchdown. i think the bigger is is the LBs playing as a unit - doesn't do a ton of good if demens is in the right spot and the other LBs are getting sealed/blow out of the water. it would be nice to see the playside LB plug a hole/take on a blocker and demens come through and clean up at the LOS. i do like Pandemens! |

just had brady talking about his footwork so i think you are definitely right on that front. its just weird to see such a regression in effectiveness from pass plays compared to last year. AB is trying to make him into a better overall qb and thats hurting his game (short term only lets hope). i think its speaks to RR's coaching: 1) his offense was pretty freaking sweet to mask these short comings in denard's throwing 2) he has no idea how to coach other than running his system and yelling at people. i agree with playaction on 1st more and the dump offs - if they are incorporating some of the running plays that worked last year why not do the same with some of the passing plays (see: drew dileo td against emu)? thanks for the input pburg |
| 34 weeks 2 days ago | Denard's techniques? |
The blurb from Smart Football talks about "the very techniques" Denard is using this year are new? are they referring to his reads or did the coaching staff change his throwing motion/mechanics? seems like he is getting plenty of juice of the ball and in most cases (when not throwing into double coverage) he is making decent reads. IMO, to borrow baseball terminology, he is aiming his pitches rather than just throwing it and trusting his motion/reads. this would appear to be a comfort thing and not a whole lot to do with technique. or maybe he isn't stepping far enough with his front leg and thats why they are sailing on him (what caused me to lead the little league in wild picthes - or because i was aiming at kids' heads). anyway, yea, whats this technique business about? |
| 34 weeks 5 days ago | the real question |
the real question is.... if kyle turley isnt playing and he gets mad, whos helmut does he throw? i bet when he opened his mouth every player on the um team was like "whos kyle turley and why is he so mad? is he sons of anarchy?" kids, lets this be a lesson: being a maniacal douche and making shitty music dont mix. friends dont let friends make tribute songs about winning a super bowl |
