hangout or something? CIL is nice but not for that price.

1 year 13 weeks ago No they would love him until he did something bad

like the poster initially said. Browns fans will love anyone who does well for them. But the first time Henne would have a bad game and throw 3 picks everyone would turn on him. This is how Browns fans are with any QB, throw in the MICH ties and it would be out of control. 

Nationally the media and preception is that he is a bad QB. I personally feel that he can be a good QB and was in a bad spot in Miami. I think he fits what the Browns want in a QB very well. He has a strong arm, throws accurate short balls, but can stretch the field when needed. 

That said I dont expect the Browns to look at him seriously. 

But yes look at what you said. "When Braylon was scoring 17 TDs". Yes, and then look when he started dropping balls and everyone turned on him. Then we get to hear 1000 times about how Robiske got the short end of the stick, now QB, etc etc. Even though he sucks ass.

1 year 13 weeks ago Same stuff

on ESPN. Front page of their Recruiting is an article about how Florida got 6 and landed Taylor. and how we landed 4. Whatever though.

1 year 17 weeks ago Mel Kiper

is an idiot. That is how you should take it. 

1 year 25 weeks ago Thanks for the

history lesson, I thought the BCS startd the year after!!! Regardless, I still think a BCS birth means you had a really good season if not great season. 

1 year 25 weeks ago Look

Regardless of who we would play we need to win a BCS game. We have not won a BCS game yet. Like it or not the BCS is the system we have. Recruits look at this stuff. It's a plus in my mind if we get in.

1 year 29 weeks ago It looks

like he is destined for a RS and a backup roll for a year or two until he gets coached up. Great potential though.

1 year 30 weeks ago I think

You cant assume morris will be a stud. You have to take Kiel if he wants to be here. Even with Gardner, yes he has shown potential but we havent seen enough at this point. Im in the seat of a QB in every class. The more talent and competition tbe better it will maje everyone. I doubt bellamy ever starts significant games for us. But you never know. But gardner, bellamy, kiel, morris sounds like a great set of QBs to me.

1 year 32 weeks ago I disagree

about the RBs, for the most part I thought they had nowhere to run. I know there was a time or two I saw a missed cutback lane or something but overall I thought NW sold out on the run. Just my two cents. 

1 year 32 weeks ago Well

everyone in College Fandom uses DickRod, it's not like Mich fans created it. It was more a WVU thing. Plus his name is Rich anyway.

1 year 36 weeks ago Yes ha!

I just think, nobody is calling it luck when he does that stuff out of the shotgun. When that happens its because he is better out of the 'gun you know? The fumble right to him for a td is luck. Denard doing what he has shown he can do over the past couple years. Not luck. 

1 year 36 weeks ago I disagree

that the Denard rollout and screen to Smith were lucky. You expect Denard to make those plays and you expect V Smith to be able to run around the fat slow guys. This is the exact matchups you want. You call it luck I call it good players making good plays when they are supposed to. It is subjective I can say that some of the shotgun plays were lucky. 

On the first interception even more than his footwork was his poor decison to throw into double coverage imo.  

The fact is they still need an RB to step up and be the man. Maybe that is Fitz but being hurt 90% of the time is not "being the man". 

I'm not denying the Denard is better out of the gun. I just dont the under center stuff was as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be. 

1 year 43 weeks ago I totally agree with you

see: Brian Robiskie. 

Guy has done nothing but every year I hear how he will be the man and is going to step it up.

2 years 15 weeks ago It is called

Psych, it is/was on USA and is on netflix streaming.

Personally I thought it was just ok.

2 years 16 weeks ago Ok so he

plays a more pro style set. Then what? Your behind even more nowr because next year you have a better QB come in and you have to teach the other 80+ players, not just the QB, the new offense. So now you have a fresh QB who cant look to his teammates for knowledge or support because it's all new to them too. 

Look if they cant complete a pass after faking a hand-off I don't know what to tell you. I think RR did a good job catering to their strengths as much as he could. 

It sucks but they were bad QBs. Its a shame that is all that was on the roster for RR to work with. 

2 years 16 weeks ago The article talks about

the starting formation. I would be interested to see the numbers on the whole game and season.

2 years 17 weeks ago IT is

tomvh at mgoblog.com

Ive been talking about some advertising with him. They are good rates imo. I have not pulled the trigger yet but will in the future. 

2 years 18 weeks ago I'm pretty sure

that I drank so much during the season and days after that I already forgot who GERG was.

2 years 18 weeks ago I thought

2/3 recruiting sites thought Big Will projected better at OLine anyways?

2 years 18 weeks ago We dont necessarily

have to run the spread option. Just pieces of it. Maybe he will be able to incorporate some triple option plays and speed options out of the shotgun too. There are plenty of ways to get Denard runs.

Incorporating the read option shouldn't be that hard anyways. The players know the plays. I'm confident the coaching staff will be able to educate themselves on it and some of the keys. 

I wouldn't expect him to run for 1500 yards again but I still think he will break the 1k mark barring injury. 

What I'm more wanting to see is who will win the RB job. 

2 years 19 weeks ago I have nothing to add

I am just a positive person and wanted to join the fun.

2 years 20 weeks ago I was thinking

about how Stanford plays a 3/4 and we play a 3-3 sometimes 3/4 and our defense never blitzes like that. 

Whats not to like. They run plays out of tons of formations. They shift, they motion. Play action. They get everyone involved. They keep the defense from getting complacent and you never know whats gong to come next. 

The defense tackles well. They communicate. They have good fundamentals. They know where to be on the field and how to read the offense and how to get off of blocks. 

2 years 20 weeks ago Yeah

they probably lost 2-4 more games than they should have. They lost what 3 in the final minutes of the game? McCoy and Hillis look like they can be solid. There are still holes though at WR and key defensive positions. McCoy should get better. Hopefully Hardesty can compliment Hillis next year and one of the WRs step up. I think they are on the right track for once and they have a good foundation to build on. 

2 years 20 weeks ago I always

liked this kid. It's too bad with the injury this year. Hopefully next year he can stay healthy and showcase his talents for the full season.

2 years 20 weeks ago So

Fred Jackson is all of sudden a bad coach? I think at some point you have to give one of the other guys a shot. You cant put Smith on the outside and expect him to outrun and juke defenders. 

I know we were losing but there is no reason Denard should be throwing the ball 40 times a game. I like RR and support him but it's like he never makes adjustments. 

2 years 20 weeks ago I dont think

there is any proof that RR doesn't understand special teams is there? He recruited one of the best kickers in the nation in Gibbons who we were all salivating over during his all star game and highlights. So far he has busted. He recruited an very good punter and got another kicker this year. 

Punt and kick returns I will agree with though. No reason not to have Stonum back there on KO returns if he is healthy. Punt returns I think was hurt a little with injuries. I also think the coverage teams will get better once we accumulate depth on the roster. 

The D is no excuse but I'm willing to give it another year, not really with GERG though. 

2 years 21 weeks ago Same here,

It was a good article, nice read. I like his comments about being a Michigan Man. I 100% agree. It sounds like he has matured a lot. Good for him.

2 years 21 weeks ago The wife got me

one of these

http://www.mden.com/shopping/product.cgi?1067792672492080?1506?AD1041

and a couple PS3 games. I'm loving the jacket.

2 years 22 weeks ago I'm sorry

but I dont see what the point of using Gallon as a wildcat type QB would be. We have Denard Robinson as our QB. Who runs wildcat type plays regularly throughout every drive. And we all know what his stats were this season.

2 years 22 weeks ago Sorry If
