2017 spring football practice updates

[Michchamp]

those ohio state refs last year probably wouldve let JT Barrett use a machete if he wanted to.

Some year we will go into spring practice with confidence in our o-line....

The article focuses on Evans' physical development and determination to be an every down back, but there are a couple nice comments about Jay Harbaugh's early approach as RB coach. Not that you'd expect to hear a player bash his coach, but this is a good early sign.

And just think, we have more really good freshman still to come this summer.

The defense will keep it together until the offensive line starts clicking. We good

Like last year? How'd that turn out?

Okay dude, move on from it. Your point is driven home.

And you forgot the "who" in your sentence. So if you want to be a dick about it, at least have your comment make sense.

You're still around?

btw, you understood it, right? So it made sense

 

[hungry]

Cool.

Below are some additional weapons the quarterbacks could develop their technique using during spring practice.

Anyone who doesn't care shouldn't look at them.

lol and LOL!

I predict 2 years from now...

Well, they were 10-1 and playing the last game of the regular season for a chance to go to the Big 10 Championship game. I'd take that every single season!

This is from Mattison's presser (right from mgoblog, since I know that some people here don't like to go over there)

Newsy bits:

Mattison seems very confident that his starting four is Gary, Hurst, Mone, and Winovich. They’re working to find the group behind them that will earn the right to rotate
Carlo Kemp and Donovan Jeter were mentioned as young guys who’ve been very impressive this spring
The guys competing at the tackle positions are Lawrence Marshall, Ron Johnson, Carl Myers, and Michael Dwumfour
Dwumfour is being held out of contact drills but is participating in non-contact portions of practice
Winovich has gotten much stronger and is now capable of being an every-down player.

Might want to check our YPC against good defenses last year. It wasn't pretty.

I'm also not happy with losing to a shit Iowa team and losing to OSU over and over. O-line has to improve. Been mediocre to bad for WAY too long.

I agree, just it wasn't as horrible as you made it out to be. They lost by a fg to Iowa and tied OSU...only to lose in OT. I don't want that every year, but i'd take 10-1 going into The Game every year.

I know. Iowa just sucked balls. Our o-line and Speight blew that game in horrible fashion. We should have won by at least 3 scores.

Yeah, actually I was just reading comments as I'm allowed to do and kept my mouth shut but you kept having to be all douchey. Hence my response.

Forgot to abide by the bungaman's forum rules. Don't comment if you aren't interested, don't be critical of someone who fucks up their insult.

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 for more than 2YPC against OSU if we ever expect to win consistently, no matter what our defense does.

The whole running out the clock seems to be an issue for Michigan football, and maybe just for college football in general.

When Stribling picked off Iowa with 2 minutes left I got excited for a brief moment then realized it was going to be run, run, pass, punt. That whole style just doesn't work anymore. Roll Speight out on first down, if he's got someone open make the pass, if not eat the ball so you essentially get the intended result from a run.
