Don Brown & Jay Harbaugh are impressed with Shea Patterson
Of course Don Brown would only say positive things even if he had a negative opinion, but Don Brown said he has been impressed with Shea Patterson. Brown notes that Shea is a very gifted athlete and has earned everyone's respect with how he handles himself and takes his role seriously. Brown implied that we need to let Patterson play to his talents and ability; "let him player."
Jay Harbaugh says that Patterson has improved a lot since the spring in terms of knowing our formations and plays.

I, too hope to be impressed by Shea Patterson soon.
They look at Shea and they be like dang.
But competition at qb is too close to call. Coaches are still looking for separation..../s
Well, it's better fluff than most the other fluff I've been picking through. How many days left now?
Too many.
There is.... a thread for that.
Have you heard about the issues at OSU with Urban Meyer?
No - can you update me in three words or less?
Urban Meyer Gone
Urban Equals Douchebag

Looking like 24 days, 4 hours, 29 minutes, and 30 seconds, Bob:

Thats barely over 3 weeks and we haven't heard a thing! God...where is all the inside information?
My bet is that Matt Guitierrez is gonna start.
Dunno - I heard something about a bum shoulder. They might have to start this frosh instead.
Nope, Antonio Bass is the man.
Good.
Yes.
Sucks to that guy’s kid’s assmar
I want to upvote you, but I have no idea what you're trying to say.
There was a guy (https://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/milton-patterson-throw-it-deep-3-weeks-ago-not-substantive) that came on here and said his kid went to a camp with Milton and Patterson and said that his kid was underwhelmed with Patterson's ability.
So, I am saying sucks to that kid's assmar.
What's an assmar? Is that kind of like a henway?
It's similar to ligma.
You ever read Lord of the Flies?
Not to dis anyone, but if we have to rely on a high school guy saying that he liked Milton (70 yard arm) as a deep thrower than Patterson then we're not going to survive 3 more weeks. Time to send in the covert action teams to plant bugs and cameras.
"let him player."
I hope we let Shea Patterson player too actually, perhaps even play.
I had that thought, too...although I thought it could have been:
You go, playa.
Let him be a player.
Coach Harbaugh: "Let them fight"
For once, it'd be nice to have a quarterback Don Brown can't break.
*our OL can't break
This is great to hear but good God I hope the offensive line is vastly improved so he doesn't end up in the hospital.
Im excited to see more shotgun formations this season, we have the weapons at WR and Tight end to run RPO's
It'll at least give Shea a bigger head-start when he is running for his life...
I shouldn't have laughed at this, but then again, last year made me cry.
Thats my thought as well ahahaha
Player? I didn't even know her.
Feeling it with Shea this year. Going to be dramatic difference in the team's offensive play-making. He is the kind of guy that brings out the best in athletes who are great in space - DPJ and Evans in particular. Plus, going to be a big year from Gentry in the seams. Black and Perry will be hauling in those back-shoulder dimes. Pass game is going to hum if OL is just good enough. Warinner needs to have a great camp from his unit and have 7 guys ready to compete to keep Shea clean.
Needles to say ... can't wait for the season to start. Go Blue !!!
I actually met Jay up in AA a few weeks back. I talked to him for about 5 min and asked him about the season, he said :
- this is the fastest, most talented, most mature defense since they've been there
- there is a good uptick in QB talent and that is very helpful
- they think the team can be very very good by seasons end, however they need to find a way to be good right away before heading to South Bend
- he was just overall very optimistic and extremely friendly.
- Side note: he’s a lot taller than I thought. On TV he looks like he’s about 5’11- 6’0 but is more like 6’3-6’4
Nothing earth shattering but it was nice to see he was genuinely excited about the team.
All that milk as a child made all the difference
Thanks, but I can't believe you've been withholding this precious information from us for so long.
At least they are not talking up a player who struggled the year before like Mr. O'Korn.
With Black, DPJ, Gentry, etc., Patterson will have some dynamic targets. That great freshman receiving class has a year of experience and dedicated WR coaches now. I am expecting a lot more from them this year.
IF the OL can actually pick up line stunts and blitzes this year, then Patterson has a chance to survive a very productive year. If everything the defense does causes a protection breakdown, then several QBs will start and struggle before the season limps to a close.
I think you have the right take on the OL. Everyone else seems to fixate on the tackles. We had a good LT last season. The RT was terrible early, but not so much late in the season. The line just didn't play well together. Breakdowns up the middle destroyed plays even worse than having guys beaten on the edge. As important as the tackles are, my hopes for an improved OL are pinned more to Warinner and Ruiz.
Their biggest problem wasn’t a talent thing. It was a scheme issue. Especially when dlineman stunted. Even warinner was confused with what they’re doing
A good QB can make a mediocre line look much better. I think Shea making the correct reads quicker will make everything run smoother
Yes, and a QB with confidence that he will have a little time will do a better job of making his reads. There's a lot of synergy in football.
Shocked at their praise of a Michigan player. Shocked!
When asked his opinion of quarterback Shea Patterson, Don Brown responded, "Meh. He's not as good as I was led to believe. We'll have our work cut out for us this season because if he's the best our offense has got, then our unit will be on the field 40 minutes a game."
That sounds like Coach Lou Holtz.
If Coach Zordich said something like this while also throwing in something about him being injured too often, I would cackle with knowing glee!
