Can’t recruit with a lame duck coach. Need to fire JH at the end of the year if you go that route bc you won’t be able to recruit anyone if his deal is not renewed with a year ledt

Ward needs to ask/tell…

Ward needs to ask/tell Harbaugh to retire at after the OSU game or he will be let go. He can say covid has made him reevaluate his priorities in life and he wants to step down. give him an out, but he's gotta go. We'll let the year play out and see if Gattis' can get the O going. He's coaching for his job basically. D. Brown is done. As others have said, he has one pitch and it ain't what it used to be. Too easy to figure out his D. Need multiple D in this day an age or else even teams like MSU will make you pay

I know you are half joking…

I know you are half joking probably but I legit think there is a chance Wisc misses 3 games in a row. At that point with no chance at a B1G title there will be calls to shut it down I bet

I mean Dobbins almost got 200 yds rushing....

would just like to see a closer look at whar Clemson did. Not sure it was any one thing but they  actually got OSU into third downs and the blitzes they did have seeemd money every time 

 

not sure how they got to 3rd down or why they didn’t get gashed more by the pass

 

better players then UM given but would be nice to see the scheme

Was amazing to see a team actually force OSU into 3rd downs!?! Wish we could do the same. When Clemson did blitz it was highly effective too

paying for UM seems like the real hurdle though. Unless public schools become free it’ll be $80k per year by then!! At least

I’m sure it will be Bama given the eyeballs it’d bring 
 

here’s to them having a boat load of starters sit. Backups are 5stars but at least they’d be a little green

And no, don’t care if UM beats a Bama team with guys sitting. If Bama loses people will say they didn’t care about the game regardless 

1. 2+ on TOs

2. stay on…

1. 2+ on TOs

2. stay on down and distance by having a running game that keeps them honest. Timely Shea pulls/keeps will be critical to this

3. we have to get home on 3rd down. Whether it’s blitz or zone blitz (only bringing 3 or 4)


basically keep them off the field so they don’t get a rhythm and start pressing.

How many conf titles and playoff games?

they've beat OSU in OSU once. That’s probably the same as us...

Most UM fans (let alone general public) would take last 25yrs of OU vs UM

Better DL and PSU is not…

Better DL and PSU is not getting the time to make these throws though right? 

i mean at DL it’s an athlete game. You have them or you don’t and if they are good it makes the back 7s job a lot easier. I would argue our DL strength had more to do with our cover 1 approach in 2016. Or at least as much as our CBs. We’ve had consistently good / great CB play for several years now under multiple guys. It’s when we lose Hurst, Winovich, or Gary that our D suddenly gets “exposed”. Latter two were a step or to slow despite double teams vs OSU last year. Just bad luck that our DEs were banged up that game.


Anyways, I’m just saying at a certain point even the best D is going to have missed assignments and it will happen more often the more complex or cute the D needs to get to compensate for lack of personal.

this is where just having better athletes who can make plays trumps all.

we are not keeping OSU or any elites offense in the 20s now that the spread cat is out of the bag. Just not going to happen on a consistent basis. 
 

- quick wiki search

we have kept OSU in the 20s twice since 2007. We lost both games...

Pre 2002 it happened on the regular 

 

 

 

 

 

Agreed. 
 

warching those…

Agreed. 
 

warching those clips and time / score I was surprised how close it was still at certain points. 
 

a competent O can go a long way. Or at least one that can run the call some.

 

I honestly think just an upgrade at DT and OL (with consistent scheme yoy) is all we need. The rest will fall into place. I feel like at some point we have to get a decent spread QB. Even if it’s by luck 

 

Exactly. If we can’t contain…

Exactly. If we can’t contain 1 Hamler (and we did not, he still won the game for them despite us know he is their entire O) then there is not much hope for OSU and Hamlerx3

<recruiting guy nodding his head right here, sorry I’m guilty >

Right now we have to get cute on D and mix it up hoping we don’t screw up at the wrong time... ain’t gonna happen. 

really, we just need a talent upgrade. No reason UM shouldnt be rolling out an NFL an caliber DT and DL every year (like OSU and half of the SEC). We are basically there at CB#1 and CB#2. CB#3 will always probably be a crap shoot but ideally it can be a speedster frosh that is being groomed to be a future CB#1-2.

Basically needs more DTs. Makes the entire D better. 
 

I don’t think we get blown…

I don’t think we get blown out anymore bc we appear to be able to run the ball a little better. Should keep ND from lining their ears back

ND >>>PSU imo though. I think PSU is overrated and felt that way going into the UM / PSU game. They have one player on offense and solid D. 
 

Good team but not elite: OSU, Bama, Clemson, LSU tier

 

Peters was 9-21

if anything…

Peters was 9-21

if anything there back little guy and the bigger one made some plays. 

I feel better about UM after this game. Think our run D is rounding out. And maybe our running O could be turning a new page. Jury still out on the O obviously.

 

think OSU blows out Wisc. But at least now Wisc will be dialed in for sure after a week of getting chewed out

 

Does Brown keep MCGrone on…

.

I think Poole has a longer…

I think Poole has a longer NBA career than anyone on this year’s roster...

maybe he couldn’t be coached but part of me does blame beilein for not getting as much out of him...at least on O.

seems like only PGs are given the opportunity to dominate the ball in beilein’s offense. Normally I’m fine with that since it’s worked. But thought with Simpson at PG (limited O) we should have done more to tweak the offense.

imo THjr and Levert are much better pros then college players (relatively speaking)

burke is the opposite. Walton too.

maybe that’s just part of the offense.

Do you think 3 WR sets with…

Do you think 3 WR sets with DPJ, Nico, Black would be effective with more of s shorter passing game. 

Im not sure Nick and Black are the type that get open within 10yds of the LOS. Seem more like the true outside WR type. 

Do we need a slot ninja type that Shea will actually throw too for next year? Or will Harbaugh use TE and FB for this desired result (or Evans)

 

 

hopefully 

Bowl game is a de facto…

Bowl game is a de facto spring game for next year. With key players sitting out and all.

might as well play the next gen now.

With the OL seeming to get…

With the OL seeming to get things together (knock on wood) I just hope next year we have a home run RB getting snaps.

we need more chunk plays. 

4-5 more than Shea’s total…

4-5 more than Shea’s total. That was my larger point. Nobody would really be saying much about Murray if he were at UM.

i think he connects on a couple of those deep balls Shea left short and gets a handful more TDs.

did not know about that 30 TD number for UM. Hope that changes, probably will need to for  playoff season.

 

Oops meant to say lose to ND

Oops meant to say lose to ND

If Poole makes the Beilein…

If Poole makes the Beilein leap this year UM will be very dangerous. Like final four or bust dangerous and can play with anyone. Anyone.

i hope that happens. Small step back year after two straight final four runs sounds good to me. 

Recruiting seems decent so we wouldn’t be “down” for long.

No not funny. 

This is…

No not funny. 

This is exhibit A for the UM attitude and why we can’t beat OSU consistently. They do want it more. 

Hopefully this culture (of winning and hating UM) that Meyer  made fades away so UM has a chance. 

That was big takeaway for me…

That was big takeaway for me with OU, they took shots downfield with 50/50 balls once a series it seemed like (sometimes more).

their check down was swing pass to RB (Evans like) who would settle for 5yds.

We are equipped to do the same things but don’t.

Who picks first? Peach or fiesta? I think UM will be first at large selected

How diverse is Michigan’s offense really though? Some fancy fullback snaps doesn’t make you multiple

UGA actually throws it…

UGA actually throws it downfield...

also see regular check downs to RBs for 7yds when there is nothing open downfield 

You saw the stat on front page earlier this week. We run in a higher % of downs by a good margin than Bama despite them blowing teams out every week and sitting Tua in almost every 4th qtr

 

Can only hope that the blow…

Can only hope that the blow out by OSU showed Harbaugh that he’s got to make changes. Need to be able to win a shootout if needed. 

He’s probably going to need to sell a passing attack to get Shea to return as well. 

I’m confident D Brown will adapt. Has all new corners to start fresh with a sprinkle some zone

 

 

Was thinking the same thing…

Was thinking the same thing..

we have got to open up that passing game. 

I’m not saying UM D = OU.

I’m not saying UM D = OU.

just that UM got exposed vs only good O they played. Lots more Os like OSU in B12.

UM D would get wrecked by OU, Okie State, WVU to name a few.

We wouldn’t have same stats we had playing MSU, Wisc, NW

OU going deep a lot. Into 50… OU going deep a lot. Into 50:50 coverage. We definitely need to do that with our 3 huge WRs
Agreed. Good to have strong…

Agreed. Easy to have strong looking defenses vs weak run first offenses in B1G

 

we’d still have good D in B12 but would probably give up 30+ to several teams in that conf 

So far looks like OU is…

So far looks like OU is getting the ball out pretty quick. Even on deep balls. Opposite of our slow developing vpassing games 

 

also check downs / swing passes 

All I ask is that we play…

All I ask is that we play the guys that are hungry. If that means the youngsters so be it. 

 Not saying that anyone was NOT hungry this Saturday but easy to nhave a let down or look ahead to NFL draft after a last game clunker like that.

 

 

 

Amen! 

  

 

Amen! 

  

Fuck it. We are a man team…

Fuck it. We are a man team. Zone is our change up.

 

shade a safety to Watson’s aide and bring the heat. We are not going to zone / cover our way or of this.

bring the heat and let the chips fall.

on O need to be 50/50 run lass on 1st and 2nd down 

I never read the play by…

I never read the play by play. Appreciate the work though as it’s the basis for the rest of the summaries 

 

summaries only plus video clips

Got to think D Brown springs…

Got to think D Brown springs Gary at DT for rush package vs OSU right? Seems too obvious 

they can’t run well and Haskins does not do well with pressure.  We has all the sacks if that happens

 

My only worry is the OSU…

My only worry is the OSU will go to a 2 QB offense for UM and we will get caught off guard.

much like last year we weee doing ok and the. Backup WB comes in and lights it up and we have no gameplan. Barrett plays the whole game last year and UM wins.

i think urban may use Martell in the Tebow role to good effect. How D Brown is ready!

if OSU doesn’t bring some kind of wrinkle UM will pound them into submission.

Logged in just to say I…

Logged in just to say I laughed my ass off to this.

Preach 

 

 

Purdue will be Wisc.

 

Purdue will stun Wisc I bet.

 

wisc is not that great. I think there is a chance they don’t make it to Indy.
