  1. Watching Connor pull is the softest thing I’ve seen in a while. The one on the goal line was bad.
  2. He looked raw still and too many back foot throws. The talent is evident tho
  3. I was close @gmr548. Bean was able to get it done.
  4. Ewers uncharacteristically turning the ball over against OU and then turning around to go 18/18 (the obvious no call PI on worthy ruining it) was an “it” moment for me. A lot of guys would crumble after doing what he did in with the turnovers. Last year ewers probably does fold but he didn’t which says a lot about his determination to be the best player this year for his team. Like you said with the Ash quote, the “it” factor in a qb can be stupid when all that matters is if he wins ball games.
  5. Sorry if this has already been discussed in depth, I’ve really only been scanning the thread for large upvotes or links. But, I find the lone wolf theory to be hilarious because it makes absolutely no sense. Any Michigan coach with an IQ above room temperature would look around and simply asks the guy how he’s so good at stealing the signs. He can’t be at multiple places at one time, the opponents signs are not on film, and it’s impossible to get anything from watching the games on tv. This is why it looks so bad on the Michigan coaching side of things because they either completely ignored what he was doing or aided in the elaborate scheme. Obviously it is the latter but which ever version you choose, the coaches were complicit in the scheme. You also cannot equate it to the bag game in the sense of coaches “turning a blind eye.” Tennessee can hand out as many McDonald’s bags full of cash but they still have to coach and put those players in positions to win on game day. Michigan was actively hurting the integrity of the game day experience to their own unfair advantage.
  6. It would be better imo if you made these gifs instead of still shots. Maybe do a still shot with arrows pointing to assignments and then a gif of the play underneath.
  7. No it definitely is. He was in the rotation on the dline and has flashed a bunch. Edit: before injury of course
  8. Kansas st should be a fun game to watch. They are probably the best oline that we will see and their entire offense is dependent on the running game. They’re best unit versus our best unit.
  9. Ewers and Brooks were getting for sure 8 yards almost each check down. Give me that all day
  10. Him being athletic out of the pocket can help with his shortcomings as a freshman in the offense. Ewers is a straight line type of runner. He does really well though which is a testament of him wanting to be better overall (5 tds isn’t easy). Last year he was below average. The difference between Ewers and Manning is that Manning is more natural running with the ball. He can receive hits and cut up field better than Ewers.
  11. The problem runs deeper than what we’re seeing on game days. PK is a pretty good DC but some of the guys in the secondary have been here for a bit now and are just not getting it done. The Crawford experiment should have been over a long time ago, Taffe was a walk on for a reason, and Thompson is just plain slow and you can’t teach speed. Where is Allen or LTG? Are those guys misses? I love the physicality and proven ability Catalon brings but he has an unfortunate history with injury’s. To me the safety position seems like it was misguided and we are in this position because of it.
  12. You’re right. I think it points to the fact that our secondary doesn’t give us a lot of options in trying to help their faults.
  13. This is interesting in terms of creating some pressure.
  14. Taffe and Williams are the best duo we have at the moment. Thompson got straight up abused on the drive right before halftime. Then their last drive of the game Crawford had one of poorest attempts at a tackle I’ve seen this year and shortly after was replaced by Williams.
  15. They had at least 3 other penalties that we declined because the result of the play was better. There was still a ton of no calls that we would have happily accepted.
  16. He has 5 rushing touchdowns and a shit ton of rushes from the pocket for first downs. You’re acting like Ewers is a statue back there.
  17. Not even sure Murphy was reading anything on that play. This is stupid dissecting one throw and determining if Murphy will be good this season. Fact: Ewers has made that throw all season. Fact: Asking Murphy for that route to be his first throw is tough and he shouldn’t be judge on it.
  18. I honestly don’t know what PK can do. Not fast enough to run with the deep routes and not athletic enough to keep everything in front. To cap it off, they’re not that smartest bunch either.
  19. We were off with Baxter in what looked like a bad injury. Let’s wait and see but I’m going to be sick if it’s bad and he’s out for the season. He was night and day different from last year and put in the work in the offseason, both mentally and physically.
  20. Except they ran the fly over the entire game. We were killing them early with check downs and underneath stuff. The disappearance of our running game at times didn’t help
  21. Nah, our rush lanes were better this game. Gabriel is the only qb that has hurt us with his legs. You should be worried about any qb that make simple reads because our secondary is hot garbage at the moment.
