    Practice Notes

    Of all the things I've said and done, being optimistic about Evans is not one of them.

    Practice Notes

    That was one of the most frustrating things to watch -- a hole open up and Smith charge right into the pile of guys away from the hole.

    Practice Notes

    Correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't many of Higdon's long runs come in junk time -- I think at least one of those is against Rutgers. So it makes sense that he would have a few more, where as Evans played a lot of significant time with the starters. I'm also not sold on the 40 times...

    Practice Notes

    I'm with you on the under performing backs front. I'm not sure why we can't get one of these superstar kids that just pans out, Peppers style. As far as I know, we've never had one pan out. Kevin Grady, Green and now Walker.... As far as Evans, I like him because he is different than what we've...

    2017 spring football practice updates

    I want Peters to win the job too. And I want him to win it because he's truly an elite passer and not just because people are tired of Speight. While Speight does OK, I think he's close to his ceiling. He'll get better, might hone in his accuracy on down field balls. But there's always just...

    2017 spring football practice updates

    I'm hoping it doesn't drag on until the first game. It would be helpful if Harbaugh just named a guy at some point before that because you have to imagine it's either going to be obviously Peters or close, in which case I think you have to give it to Speight.

    Spring Game on BTN (tape delay) thread

    What's off to me is that they've announced similar "estimates" for games in far worse weather with obviously less people. It was either the first year of Harbaugh or the last year of Hoke and they announced something in the 50's. No way it was anywhere near what it was yesterday. I was sitting...

    Spring Game on BTN (tape delay) thread

    By that I mean avoiding pressure from the defense.

    Spring Game on BTN (tape delay) thread

    My opinion, Offensive line too hard to predict, given they were spread between two teams. No idea if there's any improvement there. I think Peters looked like the better QB in this particular practice, who knows if that's how it's been all spring. Definitely seems like he has more pure talent...

    Red Berenson expected to retire

    Anyone heard anything about who they're looking at targeting to replace him? Only name I've heard is Mel Pearson, which seems like the natural choice.

    2017 spring football practice updates

    The problem is that with a decent OL or run game, we'd probably have been undefeated last year going into the B10 title game. Had we been able to run out the clock against Iowa and OSU, the games are over. I just don't see us beating OSU unless our run game steps up. We need to be able to run...

    Amir Mitchell

    That was a really disappointing departure last year....he really could have helped this season with all the departures we have at WR. Lots of young guys there and he seemed to have a lot of potential.

    Kovacs back at Michigan, helping coach defense & special teams

    They are clearly my ultimate issue....but they're also the ones who put Kovacs on the field...so it's a chicken vs. egg kind of argument.

    Kovacs back at Michigan, helping coach defense & special teams

    Rich Rod must be devastated that MC Sports is going out of business.

    Kovacs back at Michigan, helping coach defense & special teams

    I don't have the time for that. I'm more of a sit on the couch and criticize P5 coaches, kind of guy. With that said, we're talking about a coach with an NFL running back on the roster who kept him at 2nd or 3rd string until he eventually transferred to a Mac school; who's subsequently been...

    2017 spring football practice updates

    I think it's rare that one player comes in and is replaced by another star player. It think what we should be asking is who is the next star player, not necessarily who will replace Peppers. I think it's more likely that someone like Gary or Aubrey Solomon will turn into a superstar . While...

    Kovacs back at Michigan, helping coach defense & special teams

    Yeah, but that's where you take WR's or other DB's and flip them to S.

    Kovacs back at Michigan, helping coach defense & special teams

    But it's impossible to prove one way or another if another player would have done better. He got a lot of tackles because he was the starter, and got a lot of solo tackles because he often found himself facing someone in the secondary who shouldn't have been there because our DL or LB let him...

    Kovacs back at Michigan, helping coach defense & special teams

    I maintained at the time that better, more physically talented, players were on the roster....even if they were younger.

    Kovacs back at Michigan, helping coach defense & special teams

    He's a great player to have on your practice squad. And probably would make a decent coach for the same reason -- he's smart but physically just not there.
