The OFFICIAL MICHIGAN TEAM 136 THREAD: THE CONQUERING HEROES

[HNIC973]

TRENDING DOWN
Linebackers: It was a rough night for Desmond Morgan, Joe Bolden, James Ross and company. There were missed tackles and scattershot moments; missed assignments and blown coverage. It happened early and often across the board. Ross spent the night at the buck position, while Ross Jenkins-Stone was unexpectedly out of action for most of the night. The linebackers' troubles were just a microcosm to a larger issue ...

The Michigan defense: Look, the Michigan defense did enough to win the game and delivered when it counted — keeping Minnesota from gaining 1 last yard — but by the vaunted standard that's been established by the U-M defense, this was perhaps the worst performance of the season by the country's top-ranked unit. The Gophers gained 461 yards and Mitch Leidner looked like a superstar, racking up 317 yards through the air and rushing for an additional 37, including a 24-yard touchdown. Leidner kept the Wolverines guessing at times and it was obvious that the Michigan defense was on its heels — including a secondary that missed a number of turnover opportunities. All that said, though, the defense made two game-winning plays: The stuff at the goal line and the sack of Leidner leading to the punt that produced what would be the game-winning touchdown.

De'Veon Smith and the Michigan running game: The Wolverines starting tailback was never able to get moving. He posted 15 yards on nine carries and didn't have a rush over 5 yards. His lack of effectiveness was evident by Johnson's increased carries and an expanded role for Peppers in the backfield. This marked the second week in a row that U-M had no discernable threat produced by the running game.

Plz stay healthy Drake any incoming LB's please know there's plenty of PT available I would like a pass rushing DE also

Thankfully Rutgers is another bye week. Especially if Carroo is hobbling

 

[eastside313]

their WRs were making all the clutch catches too. those are the type of catches were as a fan of the opposing team you know you are about to catch that hot oven baked L. lucky their coaching staff had something else to say about that

Game was like when u hooping with somebody and you know he a bum. But he hittin everything he throw up all of a sudden.

Nobody is elite at every position. That is why people look at you like you're wilin and exaggerating. There is talent at WR, Minnesota just showed you what happens when you have a QB that can throw to it. They are not Funchess but they are talented enough. Linebackers are the biggest weakness and second CB. You're overstating how far away Michigan is. Clark is playing out of position, and Countess transferred so we have guys at CB that should not be. I have no idea what he was thinking.

Minnesota Qb is horrible 92nd ranked offense going into last night.I'm not overstating anything under 250 yards of offense 2 weeks in row.When I look around the country at other top teams I see elite talent don't see that on this team.Staff coaching is masking deficiencies associated with the team.

That qb played the game of his life. You seem to be leaving out the emotion part of that game.

he did still no excuse for that poor play last night LB's and safeties were horrible.Rutgers should be a bye week we will see how the defense bounces back vs Indiana they have a good offense

the last few games you see teams targeting the LBs esp. Morgan. You seeing more wheel routes, more crosses over the middle, shifts to see how backers adjusts and when they see Morgan 1on1 it's like

It's either leave Morgan out there or replace him with Gedeon kinda stuck I guess.Just gotta keep recruiting we all know this team has weaknesses LB's were exposed last night just like at Utah

Them dudes was getting int's tipped into 40 yard gains...struggle screen plays turned into 60, packers-Charles Woodson-esque interceptions turned into just broken passes....fumbles turned into..not fumbles....I don't believe in luck (only skill and blessing) but damn that, them dudes was LUCKY AS fukk until their blessing ran out at 00:02

 

[hood b. goode]

@hood b. goode why so hostile breh? We always welcome u in ours

Mb

was heated at the other trolling poster

 

[Trust Me]

Brehs .. a win is a win. I get it... but I'm just not happy. For the first time this year, I think we regressed.

- Rudock isn't taking us anywhere. I never realized how bad he really is. No one knows where any pass over 8 yards is going. He's a checkdown king, and I'm totally ok with that .. but when you checkdown time and time again, without even looking at other options, it limits what you can do on offense. You would think that if a team decides to stack the box on us, and sell out to stop the run, we'd be able to hit some quick slants, or some quick outs to loosen them up .. well, naaa, Rudock can't seem to do that. And I refuse to believe that Fisch, Drevno and Harbaugh keep calling bad plays. It comes down to execution, and Rudock just isn't getting it done. So now, do we go with Speight? I mean.. it just looks like he needs game time reps. I'm not that big of a fan of his, but ever since high school, he's had damn good accuracy and he's got a decent arm. Way better than Rudock does, that's for sure. So, do we roll with Speight, and let him get his beak wet against Rutgers, or do we go back to Rudock?

- Our running backs .. I've said this before and I'll say it again .. De'Veon Smith is terrible. GREAT kid, but terrible running back. He plays hard.. I'll give him that .. but I swear to you.. at least 80% of the time that he carries the ball, I figure it's just a wasted down. At this point, a goal line back should be his m.o. As long as Drake is healthy, he should get the bulk of the carries. He's the only one that consistently hits the hole fast and hard as hell. We don't have the dominating OLine that can sustain blocks for long periods of time yet .. so when the hole is open for a split second, Drake finds it and before you know it, he's through it. I really wish Isaac wasn't such a bum. The kids got obvious talent .. but dude STAYS in the doghouse it seems. I think Derrick Green just seems to be a kucklehead. We need an elite back in this class, but it doesn't look like its going to happen. I know we're still in it on Kareem Walker, but have you guys seen his film? I think the kids a good player.. but a 5 star back? I don't see it. Now, I know we need more talent all around, but he just doesn't seem 'elite' to me.

- Receivers .. I like them. I like them all. The problem is, they're having a hard time showcasing their skills because of our poor QB play. I'll tell you what though .. they all block like maniacs though, and I love it. I like the talent we have there, and it's only going t get better. I think receiver is the first position that's going to be littered with elite talent at UM. We just NEED a consistent QB.

- Tight ends.. They all do any and everything asked of them. We knew this would be the case with Harbaugh on board. I like them all.

- OLine.. they're still weak as fukk to me. Whenever I see Kyle Kalis .. dude seems lost as hell. Literally .. he's either doing one of two things .. looking lost or taking blind shots on opposing DLineman Ben Braden is 6 feet 7 inches and 310 pounds of sissy cloth. I don't even remember seeing Mason Cole out there, which is why we burned Grant Newsome's redshirt yesterday when he started at left tackle. Even the gold boy seems to be falling out of favor with the staff it seems. I never thought he was getting it done at LT. He's always been so undersized. The whole unit is just disappointing to me.

- DLine.. They generated some pressure, but like Ed said .. all sorts of prayers were being answered for them last night. The stats looked WAAAAYYY worse than what really happened in the game.Like, the missed INT that they caught went for 40+ yards. Add that to the long TD pass that dude just heaved up there and turned Jeremy Clark around (that went for 60 plus I believe) and those 2 fluke plays alone went for over 100 yards passing.

- Corners.. JD did his thing. he always minimizes big plays. He might give up a catch or two, but they're never big plays. And he gets the tackle before any YAC. I don't even know what's going on with Striblng on the other side.

- Safeties.. Outside of Pepp, what the fukk is going on there too? Wilson is a bum. Delano Hill is constantly going for the big hit... even when there's no one to hit. Our nickle package is shaping up to be hot trash.

- Linebackers.. If I were to actually type anything out here, ya'll would fall asleep. They can't tackle. They cant cover. They don't contain. They dont stay in the lanes. They literally do do ANYTHING that's asked of a linebacker.


I'll end this long ass post with this. If I'm a high school QB, RB, OL, LB, Safety, or CB ... and I want early playing time ... I'm going to Michigan. You'd have a fair shot at starting, the second you threw you cap up in the air at graduation. We need a lot of talent before we get where we want to be. This game let me down something fierce. We have so many glaring holes.

 

[hood b. goode]

I'm getting concerned they bout to run peppers into the ground

we need a consistent running game bad, these rbs keep missing holes, except for Drake Johnson.

we need playmakers. I don't see where the big plays are going magically show up next year. hopeful okorn is the real deal
