There was a “journalist” who apparently decided that his schtick was going to be “getting confrontational and insulting towards people”, and decided to make Marcus Thames his next victim.
Problem was, Marcus Thames was (maybe is?) one of the nicest, quietest, gentlest (unless you were a hanging curveball) players in the league, and once word got around, people prepared for this “journalist”, basically either refusing to engage or throwing it right back in his face.
Lewan isn’t going to get many more interviews if word gets around that he tries to trick people into saying things that aren’t in their best interests.
Taylor Lewan is clearly trying to get attention any way that he can. Between trying to goad Jalen Milroe into a clickbaity quote and a whole news story about getting into a chugging contest with his daughter, it’s just a matter of time until he reaches [name redacted] level of hot takes.
Everything I hear about this guy is against my will. If he ever does anything nice or supportive or mature, please post that and I’ll duly upvote. Until then, can we treat him like any other person who obviously hasn’t matured since middle school?
Does this answer the UFR question of “hey, is he being COACHED to ‘cover grass’??”? It seems to indicate that his college coaches have been very happy with his performance.
It’s gotta either be that, or maybe the coaches believe he’s THIS close to putting it all together and that when he does he’ll be the steal of the draft
Listen, I love Michigan, but this is recency bias personified for YouTube clicks.
It’s SUPER impressive that Michigan was able to beat two opponents (one on the field, one off) every week after the bye, but calling us the “last” great playoff team is a stretch.
This is giving me “game of the century” - of which there are apparently three every year - vibes. It’s ok to enjoy our championship without declaring that ‘greatest’ is settled. Of course it’s the greatest: it’s ours. Our next one will be the greatest too.
I literally spent all season making fun of the guy, but he’s an A+ OL and TE coach, who put a solid string of people into the NFL from Iowa.
He also coached the Patriots TEs during their “we have Gronk and Aaron Hernandez, auto-win” era.
I’m also pretty sure he never lost to Rutgers as OC. Last season he put up over 400 yards on Rutgers. So if you’re looking to keep your football program out of last place in the B1G, he’s got some secret sauce.
Just keep him far away from the QBs and the play calling.
Taylor Lewan fishing for the clickbait, and Jalen Milroe with very classy deflections.
I didn’t think I’d ever have nice things to say about Alabama, but after a PhD-level football game, Saban was classy about losing to us, and Milroe is classy about the loss AND avoided throwing anyone under the bus.
Lewan…man, what a piece of work. Exhibit A for “getting older =/= maturing”
A divorce attorney will have to weigh in, but I didn’t see anything UNUSUALLY shady given his legal troubles. Definitely normal Tuck level of shadiness, but there’s a lot of facts missing which matter in this case.
$1.5M spent on Legal fees is worrying, but the article says it’s from a joint line of credit, so if it’s not a marital expense (an easy argument to win for the former Mrs. Tuck), then it’ll be a liability that gets assigned to him.
I’m more interested in her complaint re: his retirement accounts and his moving that money into an account which is only in his name. That’s…an iffy thing to complain about IMO, if those were his accounts and not theirs jointly. I’ve seen cases where a vindictive ex-spouse cashed out retirement accounts, and undoing that damage can take years.
A TRO on moving money around seems like a good idea in this case. Tuck is spending a lot of money, and if I was in her shoes I’d definitely want to make sure that the dissolution of marital assets is fair and doesn’t saddle her with his legal debts.
This is probably going to be a protracted process, with grab-your-popcorn levels of drama, given Tuck’s penchant for pettiness and greed.
Joe Milton is on record admitting he didn’t apply himself until he got to Tennessee and lost the QB battle to Hooker. He said that he felt like he was going to just be handed the QB position at Michigan, so he didn’t feel like he had to develop himself.
Thing is, he was RIGHT. I have no idea what Harbaugh was thinking between 2019 and 2020, but it was absolutely clear that Milton was going to be our starter no matter what. And when it became even more clear that he was in over his head, it took 4 more games before he was benched. He got more unearned chances than most.
Milton spent 6 years in college and only started TRYING to be a good QB after…4.5? Yeah, he’s got plenty of upside left. Only question is whether the Patriots’ QB coach can fix bad habits he’s had since high school. I hope so, but I have my doubts. Wishing him the best of luck.
Nick Saban had a preternatural ability to recognize when it was time to change his approach to football. He moved from super shutdown defenses to light-em-up offenses, then switched from QB running to spread passing, then back to QB running, benching and then un-benching a guy like Jalen Milroe.
How many people would have started true freshman Jalen Hurts, then BENCHED Championship QB Jalen Hurts in favor of Tua?
I may hate Nick Saban, but I have to respect his ability to be flexible. His 6 championships were probably won 5 different ways.
All the non-draftees have a great opportunity in front of them: rookie contracts for UDFAs are shorter than drafted players, and they get to choose their team!
…UK’s schedule doesn’t look particularly promising for a team that gave up a 67% completion rate and 350+ yards of total offense per game last year. There’s maybe 2 gimme games, and 3-4 “oh god not in the face!” games.
I hope he gets the money he’s been promised. And I hope it’s worth it if he does.
He might be CB1 on Kentucky’s defense…but either 1) his coverage stats go down because the DL isn’t ending plays early, or 2) he does really well but has to watch from across the field as his teammates give up bombs.
IMO, there is a reasonable question for JJ: “what does a pass-first offense with JJ McCarthy look like?” We don’t know. Nobody does. We don’t know what a Harbaugh pass-first offense looks like. It never happened at Michigan.
It didn’t even happen with Andrew Luck in 2010 (check the rushing stats from that year!). It KINDA happened with Josh Johnson in 2007…but Johnson was also running it all over the field too; Harbaugh’s offense that year was “our QB can out-athlete you.”
So yeah, if you’re an NFL team and you’re looking to play a passing spread, then JJ is the QB with the most projection. But saying that the offense didn’t have pro-style elements, that’s just a lie.
Or it’s trolling. Remember that trolling Michigan fans is a tried-and-true business model when you’re looking for clicks.
I came to terms a long time ago that the teams who are running up the scores, stat padding, keeping their hero-ball QBs in the whole game, etc…are doing the “right” thing.
I disagree with that approach…but there’s demonstrated rewards for doing so. Between draft evals which seem to take box scores as some holy divide between “good” and “bad”, awards which seem to only look at the number of TDs thrown, and a Playoff Committee which has ADMITTED that they take style points and score differential into consideration…there’s actual, tangible punishment for shutting your offense down after a game is functionally over.
I’m not defending the pick, it was a terrible decision by the Falcons, and I completely agree with Cousins that there were instant contributors available instead of a massive overreach in Penix.
But dude, maybe he could cool it with the pettiness, or at least the public insults. Penix isn’t responsible for the Falcons making this bonkers decision, and now he gets to walk into a fractured locker room with a starting QB who resents him.
Once again I’m obliged to feel bad for Michael Penix Jr.
There’s been nothing but hate coming out of Cousins’ camp about this pick. “Blindsided”, “cheating”, “undermining”. He’s acting personally betrayed.
Kirk Cousins is a 35 year old veteran who was CLEARLY signed to lead the team and teach the young guys …and he’s acting like a petulant child for…not being the only QB on the roster???
$1 says that Penix gets the silent treatment, and absolutely no mentoring, from Cousins.
Reminds me how Penn State QBs got to the draft and the consensus on them was always “wow, these guys would be really good if someone had bothered to coach them at any point!”
Anthony Morelli, whose legacy is one of the best pictures ever to come out of Michigan football, was once a top top TOP level recruit who was ranked higher than Chad Henne. His draft eval was “acutely undercoached.” Christian Hackenberg’s wasn’t any better.
HOW you win games, again, my opinion, is of utmost importance. It takes nerves of steel to say “Penn State ain’t gonna score, so all we have to do is hold on”…but that’s dangerous because mistakes happen.
There’s a world of difference between “we don’t have to pass” and “we can’t pass”. Penn State was more the latter than the former, which wasn’t on McCarthy as much as the OL.
I’m always going to be in favor of a win over a loss (duh), and PSU had a top 5 defense. Context matters, and if it was just the one game I’d be fine calling it an outlier. But when JJ got hurt, the passing game basically shut down. For like 5 games, maybe 6. Our coaches were content to win with defense, which is fine I guess when you have literally the best defense in football.
But saying “we won” doesn’t mean that you can ignore an offense which had a material deficit in its ability/willingness to put up points.
The callousness of people who write off a highly rated recruit after a redshirt freshman season in which he played in 1 game (IIRC) and then got injured…after being a basketball player for most of his life…is a level of copium from Sparty that I wish I was surprised about
I haven’t heard a whisper about this guy being a problem or anything other than an awesome prospect. He’s reportedly pretty active in the community, and IIRC redshirted last year after injury, so it wasn’t a skill issue.
If he’s healthy and his grades are in good shape, we should get him on campus ASAP.
[btw, rumor is that MSU insiders were surprised he entered the portal]
Everyone is a question mark tbh, but with Williams it’s more of a question re: his resilience.
Chicago is basically a lock to YOLO him onto the field as a rookie. He’s gonna have more than a few “welcome to the League rook” moments. Can he shake them off and improve his game? QBs can be broken.
I guess it depends on whether you view Penix v Texas or Penix v Michigan as more indicative of who he is.
He had the game of his life vs Texas…who might have played the dumbest best defense or the best dumb defense ever.
I’m rooting for the guy, but watching him fall apart into his constituent molecules towards the end of the Championship game, behind a Joe Moore OL and throwing to surefire NFL receivers, it didn’t inspire confidence.
And don’t forget, Washington got a net of 3 total rushing yards from the QB position this past season. 3!
Didn’t their big NIL collective cancel all contracts out of the blue? Or was this a different NIL deal?
If this guy bilked MSU out of as much upfront money as possible only to enter the portal immediately thereafter, we might have to find him a spot on our team on general principle!
It’s one of my go-to comments about MSU, but I have infinite sympathy for their grad students. MSU undergrad and MSU post-grad are two different universes.
New OC Tim Lester must have had a heart-to-heart with Deacon “City on a” Hill after the spring game.
Hill reportedly did…mediocre, continuing his run of mediocre passing from last year. He has occasional flashes of accuracy, but IMHO last season was his death knell. Quarterbacks can be broken.
The other non-Cade QB (Marco Lainez III) is more of an RPO guy who can run. Which means that if Hill refuses to pass downfield, then Lainez has an advantage.
Cade is still in a knee brace. He’s throwing in 7-on-7 drills, but can’t even drop back yet. If he’s even close to healthy by fall, he’ll be starting. His passing ability is miles ahead of the other options.
The biggest issue is that Iowa WRs still haven’t discovered that they have hands. It’s gonna be another year where Luke Lachey is reads 1, 2, and 3.
I feel bad for Deacon Hill. He was sacrificed on the altar of Brian “for some reason my dad made me a QB coach” Ferentz…and now he probably won’t have many FBS suitors.
Translation: “Even if we find no evidence of wrongdoing, if you don’t self-incriminate to our satisfaction we’ll still punish you.”
This is police-level “we got you on [crime], if you just admit it then we’ll tell the judge that you cooperated.” Surprise! Your confession is the only evidence they have.
And I’ll be deep in the cold cold ground before drinking Maneschewitz ever again. If I want something that sweet, I’ll chug some grape juice and take a shot afterwards.
You can mark me down for “I desperately need the defenses to dominate this game.”
I also need to see what Brian and Seth call “college crappe”: any long-developing plays which require 11 people to win their matchups probably isn’t a good sign. Be cheap. Misdirect. Let fast guys be fast. And, for the love of all that’s holy, throw to the RBs!
Counterpoint: he has more reps than anyone else in the draft at calling out NFL style (most run) plays with motion, route trees, protection schemes, etc., from a huddle.
That’s worth a LOT. Completely agree that he’s nowhere near his ceiling as a passer. But as the head of a pro-level offense? More experience than anyone.
Remember that sports journalists’ top priority is NOT to make accurate predictions nor assessments: their top priority is to drive clicks. They’ll hype or drag anyone in pursuit of their precious clicks.
This isn’t limited to JJ McCarthy: every so often you come across an article which says that Caleb Williams - the first pickest of first picks that ever got picked first - doesn’t deserve to go first overall.
