Other than Hawkins move to LB I have not seen any position changes.
Mcdoom with the wr's for sure not the rb's.
December 28th, 2017 at 8:25 PM ^

Offensive line
Michigan offensive coordinator Tim Drevno said on Wednesday that Cesar Ruiz is likely to start at right guard over Michael Onwenu. Harbaugh said on Thursday that it hasn't been decided yet, but Onwenu is healthy. Mason Cole and Patrick Kugler have been available and practicing, as has Jon Runyan Jr.. TMI has not spotted either Ben Bredeson or Juwann Bushell-Beatty, but a spokesman for Michigan said that both have made the trip.

GhostofJermaine also has inside access. He is always dropping good tidbits. But JBB being AWOL is not good...

I should not of used the word Awol or explained more. I have not seen him running with 1's or 2's. I'm going to pay more attention today to firm up speculation. He was in the doghouse for parts of the season, and the coaches go from thinking the light has finally gone on and JBB is figuring things out, to yanking him from the play and wearing him out on the sidelines. His mistakes seem to outweigh his progress regularly.
My bad.

What does Coach Kiffen say about all this? I am sure he was sad to to Coach Frey leave in the middle of bowl practice as well.

If they didn't suck at sports they could have kept "USC".
At least Maryland was smart enough to give up on "UM" and just use "UMD" instead.

Hate to specualte, but definitely don't think this is a good sign for Walker. After sticking around and getting his academics in order, I was really pulling for him to work out. By the end of the year he seemed to be getting closer to finding himself a contributing role on the 2018 team, and for sure the 2019 team after we lose Higdon. Here's to hoping he stays in the fold!

I don't see the writing. The 3rd string RB will get a fair amount of carries to prove himself and can often find himself as the starting RB. Lack of playing time doesn't seem to make sense in this case.
December 29th, 2017 at 7:46 AM ^
Also, the coaches have shown that they go with the RB with the hot hand so he is always only a few good runs from moving up the depth chart.
December 28th, 2017 at 8:43 PM ^

After next season, chris evans will be a senior and karan higdon will be in the nfl. It would be nice to have a redshirt junior kareem walker competing for the every-down running back position in 2019. He looked great in the few carries he got this season.

Nothing I said was pessimistic. You may be projecting. All I was suggesting was it's a lazy way of shutting down conversation to say "You don't know anything. Coaches know everything." Additionally, you nor I know what the coaches think about Walker.

You don't even have a clue what the coaches think of Kareem, let alone the stupidity of blind faith that the coaches always know best against all historical empirical evidence, and obvious logic. I mean have you ever played or watched sports?
You don't need the examples we've already seen from Harbaugh's 3 years that the coaches aren't always right about talent, either in recruiting or in depth chart, position and usage, playing time, and choices of times or situations for playing time, you just need to watch sports, and especially to play organized team sports on many teams over many years to see that even when you're on the inside of a team and watch the same practices as the coaches do you sure as fuck aren't going to always agree with them and often you realize coaches can be clueless fucking idiots!
How many thousands of good or great players in all sports languished on benches behind somebody and the coaches only put them in because the starter gets hurt or is playing so bad he has to come out and then when they get their chance they stay on the field for years or over a decade?
I know the competition was different, but if you had the OSU game to do over, in fact the whole season to do over, and Peters was (unfortunately) going to be used only the same way & times he was this year, and would get hurt at the same time again once he was in, would you still go with JOK over having Shane stay and be the backup (If he didn't actually win the starting role over Wilt)???
Do you think Shane would've had a better chance to beat Ohio State over how O'Korn played? If that's even debatable doesn't that alone prove my point because if it was even that close but the coaches didn't even think Shane should be on the team what does that say?
Do you seriously think all the current players, whom all see the practices and know the plays and schemes, assignments and responsibilities of players and know what coaches are saying, teaching and expecting, have your same blind faith in the coaches and agree with all the decisions, choices and opinions of all the coaches or in Harbaugh himself?
Do you seriously think there are any human beings who could coach and make decisions and choices without being influenced by things like personalities of coaches and players, impressions or false impressions about players as people or teammates based on a myriad things unrelated to who should be playing on a strictly football basis, internal gossip, group think, or many other things that would lead them to or allow them to play the wrong guys or the wrong amounts or in the wrong ways?
Has there ever been a team in any sport with multiple coaches on a staff in which all the coaches agree with each other about every player and position on a team and how everyone should be used? Of course not!
So if players and coaches on the same team have continuous disagreement, at least about some things, and I don't even mean player disagreement about his own time or use, but player disagreement about usage of other players, about coaching, about play calling and scheme, even about drills and how they're run or not, or what's done regarding practice and other types of scheduling, strength and conditioning and all kinds of shit you can't even think of, then how can you reflexively and absolutely invalidate any other opinions that disagree with coaching choices simply because they're not the coach and aren't at practice?
Hasn't Harbaugh questioned himself in public? Doesn't he consult with several coaches on every play about what to call? Why doesn't he trust himself and his own opinions alone at all times on every play if he knows all, all the time and always knows best and always thinks of everything from every angle and sees and notices everything himself?
Why doesn't everything he or he and the coaches decide to do, work almost always or work enough to win every game? Because they're infallible?
Can't "regular" people see things in games and have their own valid views? Obviously many can and many can't, so you might want to try to distinguish between them instead of telling people not to think for themselves or have their own opinions.
What in the fuck is there to talk about in sports if you can't use your own eyes and make your own judgements?
Wouldn't it be great if this treatise would end this stupid debate for all time?
