Suggested Presser Questions You'd Like Asked:
Let's start a thread with a collection of questions you'd like to ask the coaching staff this week in their pressers. Here are mine:
1.] Is there a reason that Derrik Green is not getting snaps?
2.] Why has that "Go route" to the far side of the field kept burning the DB's?
3.] Do you feel that certain players or formation are tipping off the play call?

With Courtney Avery back in the fold, will Countess stay outside?
September 22nd, 2013 at 8:49 AM ^
That was already asked, and the answer was 'no'. Countess stays at nickel when in that package.
September 22nd, 2013 at 8:48 AM ^
Why have the issues from the last two years not been addressed?
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:52 AM ^
No. That question won't work. It is too specific.
September 22nd, 2013 at 8:50 AM ^
How does one "dial up" a blitz? Do we have that number on speed dial?
September 22nd, 2013 at 8:53 AM ^
Incessantly pound it up the middle on first down, for no gain. Why are we doing it now, but this time for a two-yard loss?
September 22nd, 2013 at 8:58 AM ^
now you've squeezed the last of the tears out of me.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:03 AM ^
Are you seriously considering making Offensive Line changes, because "competing" in practice has netted the same performance on the field?
Has Devin ever been taught not to turn his back to the LOS while scrambling, and to carry the ball close to his body?
Will you consider wearing a headset on the sideline now?
If you ask him any of these.... please note you would like a non generic coach speak answer.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:13 AM ^
We're spotting teams 7-10 points a game on that headset deal.
September 23rd, 2013 at 1:57 PM ^
You're going to make me type /s after that?
September 22nd, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
Some idiot on the radio said he did not care whether Hoke listened to anything, only that he wore the headset...apparently that is what they teach in armchair coaching school...
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:01 AM ^
Why is the O-line struggling so much to move the line of scrimmage in short yardage?
Before the Michigan game started last night I watched some of the Stanford/ASU game. Stanford had a short yardage play where their line pushed ASU back like five yards. Everyone in the stadium knew it was going to be a run. ASU had the box stacked and still Stanford was able to fire off the ball and knock people back. I have not seen that out of MIchigan's O-line the past couple years.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:02 AM ^
M goes into shotgun on 3rd and 4th and short. That is not manball
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:38 AM ^
I thought the same thing. When is the last time you saw Michigan line up in a base power formation and run the ball up the middle for 3-4 yards? Lloyd Carr era maybe? Jeez, I never thought I'd miss that play but I do now.
September 22nd, 2013 at 10:36 AM ^
BRING BACK MIKE DEBROD!
September 23rd, 2013 at 2:23 AM ^
DEBROD
A Debord/Rodriguez combination. I don't even know how that offense would go...
September 22nd, 2013 at 10:05 AM ^
We've got two rs so and a rs fr, one of whom was a walk on, one of whom was recruited for spread zone blocking and you wonder why the interior o-line, now with 4 starts each are not dominating everyone?
I'm not sure why they aren't getting huge push. It's just beyond me.
September 22nd, 2013 at 10:23 AM ^
So two guys who are in their third year in the program and one guy in his second year should not be able to push defensive lineman a few yards when blocking straight ahead?
September 22nd, 2013 at 10:46 AM ^
They are all low on experience and everyone knew Miller was not going to manhandle anyone. Take away good push by the center and poor blocking even by him, couple it with no experience for the guys on either side...
I didn't have a whole lot of expectations, but I think things would be better if fitz would follow his lead blocker. The the tight ends could block. And the wr blocking was consistent.
September 22nd, 2013 at 10:49 AM ^
Remember how Will Campbell couldn't really play? Or Heininger? Q Wash? Then they played respectably to well after Mattison and Hoke coached them up. Why should the expectations not be at least that for these three guys, two of them in their third year?
September 22nd, 2013 at 1:42 PM ^
or the difference between OSU's offensive line after they picked up their current O line coach.
September 22nd, 2013 at 1:39 PM ^
Nobody is wondering why they aren't dominating EVERYONE but, it's not too much to ask to dominate an 0-36 Akron team or 0-2 UCon team who got trounced by an FCS team. I think most people would be happy with some improvement from week to week but, it's looking like last year where we just hoped improvement would happen all year and it never came.
September 22nd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
is for the position. It doesn't matter what age they are. If they can't do it in a game then someone else deserves a chance.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:03 AM ^
Is it really necessary to sandbag the Big Ten to this level?
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:09 AM ^
Which would you choose: BTB, Qdoba, Chipotle, or Moes?
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:16 AM ^
the important issues.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:24 AM ^
Nothing beats the Every Meat Burritos from Jimbros' Burritos.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:23 AM ^
Freebirds World Burrito.
September 22nd, 2013 at 5:14 PM ^
Pancheros.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:15 AM ^
Happened?
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:16 AM ^
How does a coach mend a quarterback's tattered confidence?
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:20 AM ^
Manticore blood.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:17 AM ^
What's your favorite color?
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:54 AM ^
Blue.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:58 AM ^
Where did you get that avatar?
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:18 AM ^
Have you ever had your expectations for a season drop off of a cliff in 2 weeks like this before?
When will we realize we cannot rush 4 and expect pressure?
You do realize that OSU won 76-0 and the predicted spread for our game will be +35 at home?
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:21 AM ^
The past 2 weeks I feel as if we lost. I felt we could be 9-3 maybe better. Now who knows what will happen. My confidence is shattered!
September 22nd, 2013 at 10:00 AM ^
Is that you?
September 22nd, 2013 at 10:16 AM ^
Uhhhh no. I was never here.
September 22nd, 2013 at 4:41 PM ^
The spread really had these last two M games pegged, huh?
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:18 AM ^
Is oline struggling?
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:18 AM ^
Why don't we make adjustments at the line line of scrimmage based on what the defense is showing? I'm talking about where they line up and then look to the sideline for the play call. Also, when other teams audible out of a play because we never disguise our blitz, why don't we counter with a defensive audible?
September 22nd, 2013 at 10:23 AM ^
This touches on what I have been thinking. Adjustments...adjustments...we don't seem to make any. If we know that D's will attempt to attack our young interior, can we please make an adjustment.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:24 AM ^
what is the progress of guys like Bryant, Burzynski, etc? The oline is struggling, what are you doing to fix?
Why doesn't funchess get more looks?
Why isn't Green or Smith getting a couple of carries, particularly early in game?
How can you get Gallon more involved in the game?
Do we practice special teams in practice?
Talk about the number of penalties and turnovers? Why is this getting worse?
September 22nd, 2013 at 3:03 PM ^
Funchess was having a really....reeeeaaaalllly bad night in pass pro and run blocking.
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:25 AM ^
WTF???
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:37 AM ^
The best question by far haha
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:27 AM ^
Jake Ryan playing Saturday and if he is how much?
although I'm sure that won't be answered
September 22nd, 2013 at 9:43 AM ^
its a bye week. I can even answer that one for ya.
