1 year 37 weeks ago Amazing Wire Reference

I can't decide what I'm more excited about, Mouton and JT Floyd with positive numbers or the delicious "The Wire" reference right before the charting.  And this is why I like September.

1 year 38 weeks ago ESPN Game maps

By the way, when does ESPN normally update their TV coverage game maps?  Any help would be appreciated.

 

1 year 38 weeks ago I may be in SB for the

I may be in SB for the weekend and was planning on heading to a bar to watch the game.  I think that it will be on ESPN2 so hope to watch it that way.

1 year 38 weeks ago One thing that I haven't seen

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned is that Kevin Leach, a part-time walk-on starter last year has been pushed backed to 3rd string.  At times, he might have been our best lb last year at 210 lbs soaking wet.  He at least knew his assignments.  In my mind, that shows me that we'll see a better LB unit whether its Moundros or Obi starting.   I'm also excited to see that Mike Jones has stepped up his game.

1 year 39 weeks ago I've heard Javarie Johnson

I've heard Javarie Johnson has had a great camp perhaps he'll be in the two deep.

1 year 40 weeks ago Logic master

I think Moundros has been working on LB since the spring which is at least a bit longer then a month...though not ideal. In my opinion, the normal thought of switching positions is DOOM is worse when the player moves during fall camp less when they move in the spring. 

One cannot argue with that MGoShoe's logic. If Moundros 2010> Ezeh 2009 then at least we have one area of improvement on the D. Plus if Moundros is better I'm guessing that Mouton puts it together this season. I think the changes in linebacker coaching (less read react/taking two steps to the side and then attacking) and the presence of seniors will give us a chance to be solid between the tackles in run defense.    I'm more nervous about defending runs outside the tackles due to our inexperience at Spur/Safety/Cornerback. Still I would venture to say that better lb play plus addition of some heft in the front 7 can significantly decrease our rushing yards allowed per game from 172 yards to say 120 yards per game. Despite the obvious secondary issues, if we can be a better than average run defense team, while we will get carved up through the air, we have a chance at some defensive stops or turnovers as the dline should get moderate pressure on the qb. As long as teams can't march down the field with 7 yard runs, we can be better defensively this year. 

A slight improvement in defensive performance +Dilithium = 8 wins

2 years 19 weeks ago Thank you for restoring my

Thank you for restoring my faith in the mgoblog community.

2 years 19 weeks ago hmmm...

I've made one. I read the blog for over a year and then joined recently. Sadly it was at the same time as that guy who would start 4 posts a day about recruiting, which would seem to be why you decided to jump to conclusions based on you reading one post. If you were smarter, you would have realized the difference in posting styles seeing that em0 and and his alter egos always asked the same questions regarding recruiting without actually offering much in terms of opinions, or mildly well-thought out arguments.
Once again, thank you for you kindness and graciousness it is really appreciated among the supposed same fanbase.

(I hope your mastery of the obvious allows you to pick up on any traces of sarcasm in this post.)

2 years 19 weeks ago Agree

I agree. I also expect that Richrod and company aren't surprised by some of the changes in DB recruiting. A month ago, our DB recruiting looked like the following.

6 CBs
Christian
Avery
Talbott
Witty
Grimes
Brown (2011)
We also had anywhere form 3-4 more offers out on 2011 CBs

2-4 Safeties
Johnson
Vinopal
Parker ??
Knight ??
We also have 3-4 offers on 2011 safeties.

While I know we all had to live through the lack of DBs last year, I was thinking that it seemed like we were a bit in DB overkill with more needs in the trenches and LB. However, our early recruiting of 2011 DBs perhaps should have been a bit of a tell that there were doubts in the coaches minds or that they have lived through many recruiting cycles and things change in the minds of high schoolers.

What does this all mean? 1) I like to write long posts. 2)There is always a silver lining. We still should be in pretty good shape in 2010 with DB recruits. Christian plays as nickel and the other two redshirt. Hopefully picking up Parker and or Knight gives us a solid 6-7 DBs in this class(not counting the possibility of a WR switching positions), which is good. Also, I think that too many recruits for one position in a class can hamper recruiting in future classes (See 2008 OL recruiting impact on 2010 OL recruiting IMHO)and that shouldn't be the case here.

Will be interesting to see how the stock market reacts to the news. Not often you get to see how the NYSE reacts to Michigan sports.
