Watch the video. He points out small technique issues against certain looks that he thinks JJ will improve upon with more reps. He points out guys like Penix and Nix are more polished in some of the technical stuff because of how many reps they’ve had. It’s not a knock on JJ, just an observation about some things that need to cleaned up which will be taken care of with more reps.
One of the good things about this video is that he chose the Alabama game. He said a lot of what JJ saw in this game was a good simulation of stuff he will face in the NFL.
Benkert basically says the same thing. Says QB development in the NFL can be a crap shoot and thinks that if JJ gets eased in so that he can get some of the development reps he didn't get at Michigan he can be really good.
How dare those parents make a real estate investment outside of their home state! And for the benefit of their children no less!! I mean they put all of that money into the local economy!!! The nerve!!!!!!
According to Sam, Keon was not a big Clink fan, so it is surprising he waited until Clink was out the door to declare for the portal. Maybe he was hoping Clink's replacement would be an upgrade in his mind. But otherwise, either the timing is curious or Keon liked Clink more than Sam thinks. He's known Moore and Paige were coming back for awhile so he's known since that announcement he would have to compete for playing time. Maybe he was just playing the interest of multiple teams off each other to jack up the NIL deal he could score.
Is there a lot of talent coming back? We’ll see after the spring game who is staying. the way this is going I see all our top talent on defense bailing.
Those guys are some of the more sane Ohio commentators I have listened to. After every win in The Game the last three years I've tuned into as many Ohio podcasts as I could to enjoy listening to the tears of our enemies, but the Cleveland.com guys were the least fun because they were the least nuts.
Hear! Hear! And his scouting and breakdowns of opponents is always spot on. I am amazed every game when his assessment of the opposing team's and player's strengths and weaknesses bears out precisely as he has evaluated.
I have a hard time reconciling who Finebaum is on Get Up and who he is on his radio show. On TV where he isn't just fielding calls from SEC meatheads he can be reasonable and gracious. On his radio show today he will be the condescending, nasty asshole that balances any positive remark with a petty cheap shot.
He's got a brand and it has made him famous and probably rich, but he is a hack and a weenie to me forever.
I don't think any of those guys with the exception of Braylon were big time recruits. Griese was actually a walk-on and basically an average, game manager type with incredible talent all around him.
Doubt Benny would leave given how Minter rotates players and let's everyone eat, but even if he did, Nolen would be an upgrade over Benny. Wouldn't surprise me if Nolen was creating a bidding war, but UM's track record of developing D linemen is very impressive, so his interest could very well be legit.
I did mention that Staples omits Graham in his analysis of Michigan's DL, but to be fair, he is a national guy who probably has a couple hundred D lineman in his head and they don't all immediately pop front of mind, I'm sure. Graham is amazing and had a great year, but he also didn't have any Sports Center highlights this season to draw national attention the way Grant did when he ran down the RB against Penn State. Graham also wasn't on Feldman's freaks list, I don't believe, so he is less likely to be noticeable on Staple's radar the way Grant is.
On the bright side, if things don't work out with Locked On, Isaiah has a great future reading palms and tarot cards, or writing horoscopes.
Sorry, it is a classic grifting scam to string people along with extremely vague but seemingly plausible promises, especially when you know that the promises are exactly what your mark, err, audience wants to hear. No one is easier to fool than someone who wants to be fooled.
Hole was dangling formless nonsense that made people feel good to get people to listen and share. He had no real information, but his job is to have information, so he vamped and threw out cryptic bs that die hard fans really wanted to be true.

Narrator: It was not a soft goal.
Their chances are just much higher quality. Ours all look like desperate prayers. And we keep on whiffing but strangely BC is not.
This is purely political and not sports related in any way whatsoever. Come on.
Seems like a no politics rule should just be a no politics rule, whether it involves the university or not.
Seriously, does not belong here, especially given the fact that other way more germane sports posts have gotten treated more harshly.
That post doesn’t belong on this board and should just be nuked.
Needs to be nuked for the poor spelling alone IMO.
What about the outcry for severely illiterate post titles??
I was not aware there was a basketball season this year.

Watching this video, Bama was getting way more pressure, and usually with 4, than I appreciated during the game.

Stay away from the politicians Sherrone.
I'm just bummed I didn't get to see JJ run the 40. Wanted to see how fast he really is.
Dallas Turner ran a 4.46(!!) and he was held mostly in check in the Rose Bowl. Our O-line probably underrated this season.
Why didn't Braiden MacGregor do any events today?
Got hurt

If you want to have less affordable housing, pass laws mandating more affordable housing.
Wait, they say it is a great place to live but has a growing number of Gen Z. Does not compute.

I begrudge him.
Good feelings about Harbaugh evaporating rapidly.
J.T. WAS…
Testing. Testing.
J.T. WAS NOT SHORT!!
Testing. Testing.
TN deserves to be sanctioned for using the phrase “in the NIL space.”
McAfee is the only watchable thing on ESPN.

Kind of a cursory look at the Harbaugh era TBH.

Dude. Not cool.
The thing is, under 12 is when tackle football is actually pretty safe. So dumb.

No you do not. Just listen to his radio show later and he will remind you why you think he is a jerk.

Great job, Alex. You are very good at this, and I really enjoy your analysis and writing. Thank you!
Beautifully put, Brian. Happy for you! Happy for all of the Michigan faithful, but you especially deserve to enjoy this.

Drew Henson, Tyrone Wheatley, Steve Everett, Greg Skrepenak, Ty Law, Woodson
Wow, he likes getting his ass whooped by Mason Graham, I guess.
But he is only a junior, not a senior, so won't be as difficult to show progress toward a degree because he doesn't need to show as much as a junior.

I don't think he cares about finishing his degree.
Need to put Pete Firebum in his place. That would be the sweetest part of the championship of all.
Why are you so butthurt about someone asking a totally normal question?

It was a con, y'all. He is full of shit.
Yes
