Dont get me wrong. We have many places to improve as a team.and i want denard on our team.we just need to get back to hardnosed football. I know we lost as a team.and my thoughts and opinions arent from just this game either.ive been a michigan fan for 38 years. And the last seven we havent been playin michigan football.we havent tackled good since 97 . I think getting our deffensive coach back was the biggest step in years, and hoke will get us where we need to be.its just hard for players to buy into the scheme when we are still stuck in the rich rod program.and that is why hoke wants him to be a pocket passer, because thats michigan football.but he just lacks the ability and stature to be one.
Denard does play with heart, but he is not a michigan style qb. He is a rich rod qb. And its not his fault. But to return to a michigan quality team, we have to play michigan football. And michigan football is pound it up the middle.... then hit them deep.we cant cater our program around one player.but we can utilize our players in our program. I hope the alumni let hoke take over the team soon or we are lookin at another 6 and 6 season.
I totally agree denard is a force on the field,but he is no qb. He is to short always throws off ballance and is good for 3 turnovers a game singlehandly.its time hoke pulls the plug, put him in as a slot reciever and on punt and kickoff returns.give bellomy the opportunity to grow this season.denard is a josh cribbs. You want him on the field but not at qb. He will never make it as a fourth string qb in the nfl.but would be an asset in a josh cribbs position.yes he puts up numbers but football is a team game, we have alot of talent the scouts cant see because of denards lack of accuracy and consistancy. And bottom line is the only numbers that matter are the ones on the scoreboard..hoke had the right idea, just the wrong qb. I think gardner is doing a hell of a job at reciever. And if denard would join him at the position it would make bellomy's learning curve alot easier. We need to quit playing rich rod ball and get back to big ten ball.
