Pore-o-vision returns:


Countdown to Kickoff 2013: Day 8 - Scrimmage #2... by mgovideo

ITEMS!

CAN THEY ZOOM THIS THING ANY MORE? For pants' sake. Devin Gardner takes a shotgun snap and the only other guy in the frame is Justice Hayes. I think this is negatively affecting camera guy in games—the replays in Michigan Stadium are invariably pore-o-vision, too.

Jack Miller's hand is not broken. The video of Tom Brady's speech featured a guy saying "his left is broken" right at the end, and people thought it was Miller, and now there is an e-rumor to that effect. Obviously that is not the case. The MGoStaff has looked at the back of a lot of heads and we're pretty sure that's Tom Strobel, the redshirt freshman three-tech.

Lewan was held out. The line on the first snap is Schofield-Glasgow-Miller-Kalis-Magnuson, and Lewan makes no appearance. Since the line is completely out of many shots it's hard to tell anything definitive about who's playing, but if Chris Bryant is pressing to start, where is Chris Bryant? He does get in on at least one snap here, FWIW, but if we're going by the scraps in these videos it looks like Glasgow is the leader.

I assume they also held Gallon and Fitz out for obvious reasons.

Wormley looking good. On one snap sure, but he beats Magnuson to the inside on a Justice Hayes carry.

Justice Hayes sure seems like your third down back. There have been few shotgun snaps in either of these that don't feature Hayes next to Gardner. There is a small chance it's actually Fitz and he's being held out because he doesn't need to prove anything, but with the Green injury and Toussaint obtaining a death lock on the starting job, Hayes is in a good spot to take snaps away.

Hey: Shane Morris. Man that hoser can hose. Throwing rope after rope, though dollars to donuts this video elides three terrible interceptions.

Hey: Channing Stribling. Gardner almost throws an ugly pick to Stribling. Stribling dives to break up a dig route. Stribling tackles Chesson after a hitch. Stribling breaks up a well-thrown fly route to Chesson.

Also, Hollowell is all over Da'Mario Jones.

Hey: De'Veon Smith. Flashes shades of that high school tape when he spins through three guys on his single carry and then drags Jourdan Lewis on his back for five or six more.

Also, Green makes a slick cut to the backside of a power play and runs through an arm tackle. His single carry looked a lot better than his single carry in the other video. #samplesize

Apparently Drake Johnson is now #20. This was news to me.

Slow-mo Reynolds catch is pretty good. First, Morris moves around the pocket like a pro before unleashing a rope, then the DB (never see a number) is a fingertip away from a PBU and may actually get a deflection, then Reynolds makes a diving catch.

PORES. Pores.

Morris looks very athletic and very sharp.  In a couple of years when he is throwing to all of the 6-4 and above targets at WR and TE...with the power backs and a couple of scat guys thown in the mix, Michigan is going to be unstoppable. 

The only QB I can think of off hand who Morris reminds me of is old Fran Tarkenton.  They have a similar motion but Shane is probably a quicker release and certainly a stronger arm.  Tarkenton was a righty but they have a similar stride and release.

The knock on Devin has been when the play breaks down he sometimes forces things...

Stribling was a hell of a find by the staff.  Kid will be damn good in a few years.  Also I can see why the coaches are impressed by Hollowell and his physical man coverage ability.  He hits big for a small guy!
