I thought Braylon did very well too.

I liked him, although he still needs more work on camera. He seemed nervous at times and often stumbled over his words at the end of sentences. 

Didn’t realize personality for tv translated into coaching? I was pleasantly surprised with how he did on the the set because he was not very likable during the schembechler hall segment.

Tweets were good.  Overall, found the 60 minute show to be marginal.  Too much non - Michigan discussion - ex: ranking of non conference games.  Glenn Mason is awful.  Hates UM and his insights are trivial.

Dude - do not give Yoder any clicks!

I am not worried (yet). Even if the O-Line struggled at yesterday's practice, it's not a sky is falling scenario (yet). The defense is returning almost everyone and they clearly will be ahead of the offense after two weeks. Additionally, the offense is going up against arguably the best defense in the country, so they are going to struggle. Yes, they will need to put it together for the opener, but the O-line group more than any other, will be expected to grow as the season goes on. Hopefully, this is a situation when the O-Line gets to game time, they realize its easier against other teams. :)

Re: DBs and WRs. Not worried on that front (yet) either. Dinardo and Edwards both said that the DBs looked great. Moreover, when you practice against your own teammates, its easy for the D to jump on the offense because they know and have seen the routes/plays over and over. I suspect our D will even be better this year than last.

Obviously, we all have concerns about our weak links, but I wont judge them until I see the ND game. As many of us have said, the offense doesn't have to be lights out. We just need to move the chains more and the passing game needs to be "effective." If defenses cant load the box against us, we will see a balanced Harbaugh offense that eats clock and moves the chains. 

Best case scenario in the opener. Shea is able to connect early. If so, our run game will explode. Also, I am really excited to see the play calling early in the ND game. Knowing how difficult the schedule is, and how important a good start is, I suspect Harbaugh to show a few wrinkles, and more of his hand, than previously in early season games. We need the W at ND to build confidence and get off to a good start. So, I expect an OSU type game plan in the opener. Use the other non-conf games to fine tune the base offense. 

I did not go back and watch the video again, but when I was watching last night Cesar Ruiz was in a red jersey.  Not sure if that is what you are referring to.

I have a lot of faith in Warriner, the O line is the key to the season, but Warriner's version of an O line might be quite a bit away from what we have personnel wise who are ready to play.  I think he values versatility on the O line, that's why Runyan will be a major contributor, he can play inside or outside.  Spanellis too.  Bredenson is a beast.  I have seen Mayfield play several times in high school, way way underrated recruit, his mobility and agility were next level and high school players had no chance when he pulled and lead a run play.  Mayfield was way way better in high school than Logan Brown is now.  Ruiz is so good he will be fine in any system.  

Does anyone else think that the personnel we're seeing at O line right now is a hint that we are in fact building an offense for Patterson?  More spread teams often have more athletic and a little lighter O linemen.  Onwenu was seen in street clothes?  300 lb Spanellis maybe starting instead of the 350 lb Onwenu?  Mayfield who is less than 300 lbs maybe getting a chance at RT over the giant JBB?  Seems if you wanted to run a more up tempo spread offense you'd want this type of personnel that was rumored to be running with the ones.

I honestly thought he was wearing a bra.  The dude is careless!

There's obviously a certain confidence the coaching staff has currently about the team. Ready to unleash onto the world.

They're talking about it because it DOES matter. Even Braylon was saying that's what really matters, and I think he would know.

It doesn't matter if you lose close. You lost. Period. Ten years from now, the only thing people are going to say looking back is "they lost those games". No one is going to be singing the praises of how we lost close, nor should they.

And what else were you expecting them to say? Harbaugh and the rest of the staff aren't giving out any real information and practices are closed. So the only possible commentary that anyone has to talk about is the record, the fact that it's year 4 and the contrast of what Harbaugh will be able to accomplish this year compared to his peers in the B1G East, and the fact that our arch rival has more talent than us and it's something we need to close. All common knowledge and all true but that's all we have to go on right now.

There's literally nothing else to talk about right now because "submarine", so I don't know what else you were seriously expecting. 

I share your weariness with that narrative.  They keep flogging that poor, old, very dead horse, even though it smells terrible and the flies are thick...it's the easy, lazy thing to do. DiNardo is a retiree on the job. Mason isn't going to waste 5 minutes researching personnel and coaching changes. 

Perhaps it's just as well, especially if the team comes out on September 1 and punches the Domers in their stupid Plastic Paddy mouths.

I kind of agree - we had OSU beat in two of those games (a few - four - less interceptions and non-Ohio resident officiating), and MSU in at least one of them. The corner needs to be turned on team complete-ness and the maturity and strength to close the deal.

They can get there - just need to turn down the noise and let them do it.

The context of 1-5 is that it's 1-5. People should just be honest about what they really dislike. You don't hate the narrative because it exists, you hate it because it's true. No one would think the record was brought up too much if it was 5-1.
