You Need a Tackle. Who you got?
Had a discussion about tackling in a previous thread. I won't try and taint the jury so I just want to give you a scenario and see what you think.
Let's suppose you are Jamiemac and you are at the UM spring game. Since you are a gambling addict you have bet Ace on the Spring Game. The maize team is heading down on the last drive and you need a stop to win the bet. Borges has called a throwback screen to Toussaint and your heart is rising in your throat as you see vast green space in front of him. The lineman has cut one defender but one guy has read the play and he has recovered enough to be 8 yds away squared up with Toussiant as Toussaint has secured the catch.
Who do you want to that defender to be to save you?
One catch it can't be Kovacs because Mattison has him on the sidelines calling the defense.

If he was . . . end of discussion!
Boom!

That is all.

Well, I would hope Marvin Robinson is healthy enough and back on the field, and would blow up that play.
However, the spring game is a great chance for walk-ons to make some plays and enjoy some deserved time on the Big House turf, so I will put my trust in Charlie Zeller (who wears the Captain's #19) to make the tackle.

Marcus Ray, how has he not been mentioned yet?
February 15th, 2012 at 11:26 PM ^
When I started reading I thought it would be Kovacs obviously, but then you had to go and make things difficult.
I'd probably go with Jake Ryan or Countess. Both make plays and are pretty sure tacklers.
February 15th, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
I just like Ryan to get it done.

That hit against Purdue is still one of the best Michigan memories I have.

It might just be me, but that seems like a genetic mutation that is not likely to be propogated.

Shaq..... Or Kimbo
February 16th, 2012 at 9:10 AM ^
Jake Ryan. Seems like a player.

Cause we need to see him in just that situation... Can't believe no one else has mention him yet..
