Calvin must be out of his mind....right??

Mitch, i know CJ gets more attention. What are you not understanding? What do i need to do to help you understand me? Because you're obviously not comprehending what i said or Calvin is saying. lol

You said he'll get more single coverage BECAUSE they will double Tate and rook. They is not up to CJ.
 
Who says you ignore him..but you don't take guys off CJ to put on Ebron and Tate.

Ok, Mitch. You're too far gone to get it. You'll never get it actually. Calvin is straight up telling you that there's a strong possibility that he'll see single coverage more this year, but you're denying it. Good job!!
 
It's a guess by Calvin who knows more than us about the situation. It's a guess by you all saying he won't see more singles too. Futuristic crap.
 
Different players, coaching and scheme. Not much matters from the past 20 years when assessing this secondary. And they didn't suck last year (average is the correct term)

Mathis/Quin back. Assets
Slay year 2 in a scheme that fits him.
Add Ihedigbo.

mathis is garbage. quin is fine. slay was junk and we have to pray he improves. Ihedigbo has been garbage his entire career and last year he was average. yay.

He has no control over that..
 
Tony, Brady Hoke said that Michigan is going to win Big Ten titles. Players and coaches spew out stuff all the time. It's really not up to him how coverage is going to align.

I never said anything calvin said was futuristic crap. I said what you say is futuristic crap cause none of it ever comes true.....ever lmao.

You're right!!! I did say it!! Guess who else regurgatated the exact same fn thing a week later?! CALVIN JOHNSON.

Why do you think players like Tate and Ebron were broght in here? For shits and giggles? They were brought in here to help take some of the pressure off Calvin. He's telling you this!!! lol

Because when they play Seattle, if we do..Sherman will double a rook. Brilliant..

Because CJ is a great player he can tell what defenses will do..if that's the case I see 3000 yards for him this year..Take coverage off the best to put on second or third best. What a plan, it's brilliant really..

Are you serious as well? Not once did i imply nor did CJ imply how he is going to be covered. I simply stated on why guys like Tate and Ebron were brought in here. TOO TAKE PRESSURE OFF CALVIN.

The article is clearly telling you this.
 
Tony, you are arguing something completely different than what myself and a couple others are arguing.

We know that's why those guys were brought in. But the fact that he's saying it doesn't mean it's going to happen.
 
Whatever the article says is irrelevant to your initial statement on this thread, which revolves around the words that left Calvin's mouth. That is what we are talking about.

Tony...big picture buddy. We were 3rd in passing offense last year. How the fuck more improved do you actually think were going to get?? We needed to improve in other areas this offseason.....and our brilliant gm decided to improve the 1 thing we were statistically good at last year and neglect everything else except olb and backup center....whippidity doo.

I never said he did. He's just telling you what he EXPECTS.

My God, my head is going to explode.

And he's wrong you moron. No one in their right mind would take a guy off CJ and put them on anyone else we have. As someone said above, Ebron might get a completion on single coverage, CJ might get you a TD.

We had 4,650 yards and 29 TDs. 5,000 yards and 41 TDS is better. Can be done now.

58.5% due to poor weapons. 46% to Durham/Ogletree/Broyles/Ross/Riddick/Dickerson. Tate and Ebron helps this.

Adding better weapons can reduce the picks. Maybe fumbles too.

Quickest way to get better. Unstoppable offense that reduces its turnovers.

You say this but how can he be good some games and bad others or good 3 quarters and bad in the fourth..he had the same weapons. Injuries aside he needs to improve on more than his TD to pick ratio and completion %. His inconsistencies is what needs improvement.

Weapons don't play the same every game. Sometimes Burleson was missing. Sometimes Burleson/Broyles. One week Calvin/Burleson. One week Calvin/Pettigrew/Broyes. It was different every game.

And not only did we get Tate and Ebron. for hopefully 16 each or close to it They are both better players than Burleson and Pettigrew (2 weapons Stafford has had success with).

5,000 yards and 41 TDs is a high probabilty.

50 TDs on offense and 25 FGs made wins us alot of games. 44 and 19 in 2013 didn't get the job done. It led to alot of close losses.

44 and 19 could get the job done if there are less turnovers(to help the defense) or the defense improves. But I know how you all feel about the defense.

How do you know Ebron is a better player than anyone? Guy hasn't caught a pass yet, and from all indications in the early training camp, he's got a case of the dropsies (not shocking, it was a big knock on him at Carolina).

Let him take a snap or two before you declare he's better than anyone.
