Deveon was a national treasure as far as blitz pickups went, which is why it was so painful to see him miss horribly as Speight got hammered and Malik Hooker trotted into the endzone...
Hey Vince! Thanks for stopping by the blog and providing an update. A lot of us are really into your work and never tire of hearing how your team has impacted both communities of Flint and Pahokee. A couple questions for you regarding Flint:
1) How are you rebuilding trust within the community? I have worked with professionals and academics throughout multiple levels of the food system and have learned that it is indeed safe to grow food within the city. Many members of the community are hesitant to begin eating something from the ground because their city has so recently poisoned them. The uptake of lead in the roots of the crops is so slow that it would require years to reach harmful levels that could possibly be ingested. These people have been lied to over and over again by city officials and policymakers, so when someone like me comes in and says "it's ok to eat the food and is actually beneficial to your health" they (understandably) might not believe that. Some programs, such as Edible Flint, have been offering soil testing kits and rain barrels for about 10% of the retail price in order to provide peace of mind to the residents. What does your program do to get people on board with growing their own food?
2) Are you working on promoting community-based agriculture or the resources and education to jumpstart individual, household gardens? Do you provide any education on how to prepare the food in the kitchen (after it leaves the garden)?
3) Many Flint residents live within a "food desert" where they do not have access to large-scale grocery stores and instead must rely on minimarts, gas stations, and liquor stores for sustenance. In tackling this issue, do you think it would be more feasible to integrate food grown in community/urban gardens to these existing retailers, or rather improve access to grocery stores by providing a comprehensive "grocery route" through the public transit system?
As always, I am so proud of the work you do. I hope that one day we can collaborate and help promote accessibility to healthy foods. Go blue!
Heck, why not include a third, or even fourth pass behind the LOS? I know I'm getting greedy, but I want to be laughing audibly when Pep waltzes into the endzone
I think Jabrill sells it because he doesn't go out for a route. He's just kind of standing back there with De'Veon Smith in front as his lead blocker. Smith needs to make one block, if that, and then it's Jabrill's speed vs the deep defensive backs coming back from the other side of the field
On the trick play, I think that if Speight throws it back to Jabrill, he takes it to the house. The entire half of the field vacated once they saw the threat of the deep ball. Something to think about in the coming games... I'm sure Harbaugh saw this when he rolled back the tape.
The silhouette of Franklin writing in his pathetically small notepad deserves to be put on a t-shirt. I'd wear the hell out of it if it said something along the lines of "coaching"

What was with Griese singing the QB's praises all game? Nothing he did ever suggested that he would be a top 3 QB. Weird

I'd say there's a pretty good chance to see one of Hawkins, Woods, or JKP at one of the reserve safety spots this fall as well.
Who slots in behind Metellus, Kinnel, and Glasgow?
Tom Brady is GOAT.
A couple lucky breaks and this team is playing in Indiana in October, regardless.

Last made 2-pt bucket: 15:40 remaining in second half.
I am done watching this team.
the pre-1996 era would correspond to the Hadean eon of Earth's history: the surface dominated by a liquid magma ocean. Sounds about right to me.

that every team playing Michigan will play like it's the superbowl?

And managed to look liked a JV player while he was at it, too

I'm sure he gets pissed sometimes, but those mic'd up moments really painted him as one calm, focused dude. Awesome vid
52-6 good guys
sounds like fun, ignore these dicks, have a blast!

I just finished The River Swimmer. No doubt I'll be reading many more of his works in the future. A true Michigan Man, RIP
