I didn't say that he didThe question in the op is what would i do I sure wouldn't run out 2 turnover machines as the passing guys when the line can't really pass blockYou have a qb with a singular skill that stands above the others, use and accentuate it
Yes, the box will be jammed It was for Warren and Tuttle too Work horizontal, put your best athletes on the field, arm punt over the d when you have favorable down and distanceOffensive line, running back, even QB
Probably receiver The coaches misidentified the talent and skill sets of the individuals in those position groups for way too long Especially shocking as Campbell was last years QB coach and still couldn’t figure out how to use Orji It also appears to be a mistake to have benched Warren when their was no plan for the other guys
Lastly, and this is minor, but shouldn’t the QB coach have repped that pass with Warren enough that Sawyer wouldn’t be able to intercept it? Seems like you always want touch on that throw and to put it where only the receiver can get it Results based charting suggest to me he called a play he hadn’t fully prepared his QB to execute in game 12Yeah, just get him out there more Yeah, obviously, that was the plan
We were trying to get him out there, but we were never in full control of the game against Fresno State And then Texas kind of went south early and then we were going to get him in to Arkansas State, and we didn’t finish the job All those games, we had the opportunity to step on the opponent’s throat, and we didn’t do thatGentry seemed to be a large improvement in pass protection
There was one play on which Tuttle got sacked from pressure off the right, and I sighed here we go again Then the replay revealed that the sack was Colston Loveland's fault, because Michigan ran a pass play with Colston Loveland pass blocking Why? I have to assume ayahuascaPhoto: Isaiah Hole What I saw from Alex is his first start was in a big game, huge game
Arguably one of the biggest wins we’ve had at home since 2021 against Ohio State He was thrust in that opportunity He was poised, he was composed The stat line might not have showed everything he did, but he had command of the huddle, leadership
And we walked away from that game excited Last week, he had some development in the pass game There were some things we need to clean up, but he’s taking leadership of the quarterback position And when he’s in the huddle, he has full command
And the players responded to thatThe best way to get better at football is play more football The more you play, the better you get We practice a lot of football plays
There’s things he was doing in practice that weren’t shown up in games that we’d coach him through in the game, and he got through it there at the end The reps are invaluable The more reps you get, you’re either going to get better, or you stay the same We’ve got to make sure that we continue to progress
I thought he did throughout that week Quite frankly, we’re one throw in the last game from being 31-3, and it’s a much different situation The point of emphasis I made to him is every rep counts You can’t take one off
You can’t slightly make that mistake Every rep counts, especially at this level You’re playing good teams no matter who they are in the Big Ten We’ve just got to make sure we execute on every single snap
You’re going to make errant throws, but they can’t just go to the other team You’ve got to make sure we can catch them or nobody can catch themIt’s funny that you talk about the RR offense being bad His first year was truly awful, and that is probably what you are referencing, but even when Denard took over and we put up 1000s of explosive points versus bad opponents I thought our offense was bad
Sure we’d have an explosive play every 8-10 snaps, but the rest of the time it was 3 and out Our D was always worn out and you couldn’t run out the clockI don't even believe that it would be wise to fire Moore, but this is beside the point What I am saying is that there is no earthly way Sherrone Moore and most of this coaching staff will not be back next year, attempting to right the ship
98% percent of all conversations about Michigan football are moot Should this happen, will this happen, why hasn't this happened: moot, moot, moot! It's so moot that we're surrounded by Ents, desperately seeing if any of them can play tackleI think we may be too fondly remember the early season games of ArkSt, USC, and Minnesota, where Mullings singlehandedly won those games The fact is that he has been far less effective from Washington onwards
With particularly bad games against MSU and Oregon And even in the down Mullings games it is not like they are giving Edwards 20 carriesPhoto: Isaiah Hole Simulating the game atmosphere as much as you can Making sure you get ample reps of the plays that you’re going to call early in the game
But the biggest thing is the noise that we have in practice Practicing the cadence that Chris brought up Making sure that we’re all coming off the ball early And having none of those pre-snap penalties
You can’t get behind the sticks on the road then the crowd gets loud and you’re putting yourself in a third-and-long situation That’s tough So making sure we’re staying ahead of the sticks and make the plays when they’re there We’ve done a great job of that in the past, we need to continue to do that
Obviously it’s been a team effort You think about Nebraska (last year), we get the turnover right away, we cash it into a touchdown That’s complementary football We need to continue to do that
