Unverified Voracity Says Up Periscope Comment Count

Brian

BTN preview. BTN had their day at Michigan and came back with some video and some nonsense—on the television a person said that Michigan would be running a lot more man coverage, which is a literal impossibility. I'm not doing a recap post this year since specifics were thin; MGoVideo has the show up if you missed it.

The most interesting bit was Howard Griffith and then the rest of the crew advocating for Ben Bredeson to start immediately at left tackle because he is "elite":

Dave Revsine did have a couple of things of interest, including a Rashan Gary-Bredeson battle:

Bredeson got some rep at the UA game as the only guy who could even sort of slow Gary down, and here he sort of slows Gary down. Given the roster tackle reps for Bredeson are an inevitability—he can play it even if it's not an ideal spot and options past the starters are extremely questionable. Sufficient tackle reps to convince onlookers that Bredeson should play now are a bit of a surprise.

A bit more from Revsine:

And yes Gerry DiNardo said some nice things. I can never take them seriously:

"When I saw them in the spring it was like a war at the line of scrimmage. It was what you imagine it looks like at Alabama and all the downhill teams."

"How Michigan football returned to its smashmouth roots" was written before the 2013 season and remains the single least correct thing ever put on paper.

Let's infer things from this still shot. Via Chris Evans:

That appears to be ones versus ones. Items:

  • David Dawson is at right guard. Kyle Kalis was spotted in a non-contact jersey earlier in fall camp so that's probably an injury issue rather than Dawson making a move past an established starter; he appears to be the top backup option at guard.
  • Evans is in an H-back spot, not at tailback, His best fit on offense is as an OSU-style H-back in the vein of Jalin Marshall or last year's version Braxton Miller. While Michigan's offense doesn't have a dedicated spot like that, they did end up with a guy more or less in that role: Jabrill Peppers. With Evans impressing and Peppers around the offense figures to use a hybrid RB/WR guy on a lot of snaps, especially because you can do a lot worse than having De'Veon Smith block for you.
  • Michigan is very spread out across the defensive line and features both Wormley and Gary at defensive end. Wormley is likely to split his snaps close to evenly between DT and DE; reports that Gary will start get another bit of weight to them.
  • Pretty sure that's Peppers man up over a tight end I assume is Butt.

This is a good amount of data from a still shot.

It's a competition. All those #1 jerseys handed out? It's a competition like everything else:

“The one is not really given to me. Right now, I don’t really know what I’m wearing,” Crawford explained at Michigan’s Media Day. “I’m just wearing it right now, so we’ll see. There’s a couple players that want it. Whoever gets on the field first is going to get it.”

The hybrid space player breaks out. Excellent Andy Staples article on Jabrill Peppers and his ilk:

Since 2008, when the NCAA adopted the current clock rules and spawned an era of up-tempo offense, defensive coordinators have tried with little success to devise a system that can match up with an opponent who won't allow the defense time to substitute. The answer, it turns out, wasn't a scheme but a person. What those coordinators were seeking was a human Swiss Army knife, a player who can successfully operate on any of the defense's three levels and move effortlessly among them from play to play. With such a player on the field, a 4–3 base can morph into a 4–2–5 nickel without a single substitution or presnap move to tip off the quarterback. That 4–3 could also transform into (what appears to be) a blitzing 3–4 by walking the hybrid player to the line of scrimmage. Of course, the hybrid doesn't always have to blitz when he drops deep into the box (the area that encompasses the width of the offense's down linemen and extends about five yards beyond the line of scrimmage). He might bail and cover a receiver. Or he could come screaming off the edge faster than any defensive end or linebacker an offensive tackle has ever seen.

BC's Matt Milano, FSU's Derwin James, and Duke's Jeremy Cash are also this variety of hyper athletic linebacker/mean-ass safety. Read the whole thing for a picture of what Peppers's role will be this year.

Doctor Blitz. The Ringer's Jack McCluskey on Don Brown:

BC sent so many defenders into the backfield that it produced four players with at least 14.5 tackles for loss (no other team had more than two). Yet the Eagles failed to land a single player in the top 20 in that stat — they didn’t have transcendent talents like Clemson’s Shaq Lawson (25.5 TFL, 12.5 sacks) or Penn State’s Carl Nassib (19.5 TFL, 15.5 sacks) inflating their numbers. Their best pass rusher, Matt Milano, led the team with 17.5 TFLs (tied for no. 21 nationally) and just 6.5 sacks (tied for no. 72 nationally).

And though the Eagles had been vulnerable to giving up big plays on the back end in Brown’s first few seasons in Chestnut Hill, by Year 3 they got the personnel and the scheme to the point where they were solid on both ends. In 2013, Brown’s first year helming the defense, BC gave up 47 passing plays of more than 20 yards (tied for no. 97 nationally); in his last year, it gave up just 29 (tied for no. 10).

Someone is also using CFBStats.com, and well. That stat about 20 yard pass plays is clear evidence that Brown's reputation as an attack guy is warranted, and extends even to situations where his teams are getting burned on the back end as a result. Michigan probably won't have an issue as severe as BC 2013, but the Boring Old Jarrod Wilson days are probably behind us, for good and bad.

Hype hype hype hype. Michigan's gotten a lot of it this summer and there is naturally a tendency to check on this since Michigan hasn't been a truly elite team in a long time. (The Sugar Bowl was fun, sure, but if we're being honest that team was crazy lucky.) Dan Murphy analyzes the situation an article; he also gets a telling quote from Jake Butt:

“We were struggling with toughness our first few years,” Butt said about his underclassmen days under the former coaching staff. “Down the stretch of games when our backs were against the wall we struggled and we lost a lot of games. Coach Harbaugh identified this, and he made the changes necessary and it worked for us last year. I think it will continue to pay off for us going forward.”

Brady Hoke talked a lot about toughness but he wasn't having four-hour practices.

Injuries across the league. Michigan hasn't been hit yet, knock on wood. Others have not been so fortunate:

Thing I don't care about anymore. Harbaugh blazing people on twitter was fun over the summer, but it's more or less football season now. Now we talk about football. I do not care about Harbaugh ending an interview early because Mark Snyder has the social grace of an autistic llama on PCP, or moistly goateed Jim Rome turning that into #content, or Harbaugh spending ten seconds of his life googling "Jim Rome Jim Everett".

It does not matter. Rich Rodriguez was nicer to the media than any Michigan coach ever has been or will be and they stabbed him in the back at every opportunity. The media read Goodnight Gorilla to Brady Hoke every night and Michigan fans still abandoned the stadium in droves rather than watch his offense-type substance. I don't think it's a negative. I don't think Ty Duffy's right when he says it's a positive:

Harbaugh has spent two years playing the pied piper and dropping the occasional crumb on social media. Every media member is talking about him. Every major college football coach is answering questions about him. He’s been forced to reveal nothing. He doesn’t demand media members go along with it. He knows they will.

Everyone is talking about Michigan. Harbaugh has kept everyone’s attention deflected away from Michigan’s quarterback battle, from Jabrill Peppers being poised for a breakout year, and from Rashan Gary arriving on campus as the No. 1 overall recruit.

Harbaugh has been “handling” the media, masterfully, since he arrived in Ann Arbor. The implication is that “the media” are going to turn on Harbaugh and somehow this fact will have some grave karmic implications for him. Spoiler: it won’t.

It's nothing. It is noise made by people who don't really understand what they're watching. Andy Staples doesn't care. He can write a thing about hybrid space players. Mark Snyder has nothing other than press conferences to live on because he's never cared to learn one thing about the sport he covers even after 20-some years.

Here's the thing: a large number of people like open contempt for sports press since so often they're contemptible.

This is not a problem for most fans because given the chance they'd stuff most of the media in a broom closet.

Anyway. This admittedly longish section is the last I'll mention it unless something really amazingly tone deaf happens.

Etc.: They're run/pass optioning safeties now. Also still getting illegally downfield. Gentry as a tight end. Harbaugh hides at Coach and Four. The Hoover Street Rag turns ten. Probably not.

I used to be a person who thought it was PC people going overboard when they started the push for people to no longer use the word "retarded". Now I have an autistic son.  Funny how shit happens and changes your perspective.

Im not here to say that you're awful, you need to take the wording down or any of that. It was a joke, I get it. Im not sore about it. It just makes me sad. Mostly for my wonderful son with a beautiful soul.

Again, no harm done here. But just know words like that can affect people.  

I love your writing, I love this blog. I saw there was a new post on Twitter and I clicked it immediately so I could break up the monotony of yet another dreary day as an office drone by immersing myself in this website which you provide to us for free (for which I am grateful). Now my heart hurts.

Again, no reason to change anything, just wanted you to be aware.

I would ask the moderators please remove my post, so as to avoid any sort of public "calling out" or anyone taking anything the wrong way. Also, if that has happened, I cannot begin to express the amount that increases my faith in humanity. Good people all over this site

And if not, thats fine too, theres still good people all over this site. My message is delivered with much love for all

Brian is not making fun of people with autism. He was knocking Jim Rome's social grace. A symptom of autism is poor social skills. He using it as a descriptor. I have autistic family members (plural) as well, and I didn't get offended by it. That said, I can see how someone would as it's a fine line.

my point wasnt so much that it was offensive ( i even said as much) It was more of a "I come to MGoBlog to escape the crappiness of life and here I am thinking about those life things again."  I wasnt trying to condemn anyone, say anyone needed to take anything down or change anything, it was just, like, a real bummer, man (Imagine me drinking a White Russian in a bathrobe while saying this)

And I'm not telling anyone how to feel, or that how they feel is wrong, but I have other family members who are also challeneged with a few different diagnoses, and I can tell you, in my experience, it was whole lot different when it was my Son. But thats just me. other people may feel differently and are not wrong for doing so

no need to apologize. Hell, I'm glad you mentioned it and I don't even know anyone with the diagnosis. I'm also heartened by the fact that no one took your sincere statements as an opportunity to make a snarky comment about llamas and/or PCP.

If anyone cares.  One of my coworkers took his little boy to a kids day at Kinnick Stadium where they got to run the field and meet the players after practice.  Beathard was asked about the incident in question.  What he said happened was:  he [ Beathard] was in practice, and a defender rolled into his knee.  He wasn't hurt, they just put the brace on him as a preventative measure, and someone saw it, assumed the worst, and the interwebs went nuts, because Iowa.

Gary DiNardo lost me as well in 2013.  I also remember him talking about toughness or whatever in 2011 when Hoke took over compared to RR, which drove me crazy because the vast majority of the team came back year-to-year.  So basically all these kids where weaklings in 2010 but then because Hoke showed up and said "defense" they all got super-tough and not afraid on contact.

I am concerned that we are about 2 weeks out from the season and there are still questions along the entire offensive line.

The Jake Butt observation on toughness was also observed by the BTN guys.  Granted, the BTN guys were talking about "toughness" from prior years, but I think before they were just parrotting what Hoke was preaching to them.  In the show yesterday, it really seemed the body language & emphatic way in which some of the BTN guys were talking, the players are TRULY in great shape.

Between the BTN guys saying that last night and this Jake Butt comment about conditioning/toughness now seeming to dovetail with what the BTN guys said, it really makes me think Hoke was truly a player's coach, even down to the "country club" rumors that were going around in the twilight days of the Hoke era.  Love for Michigan, recruiting, and D-Line development were his strengths.  But overall player development, building an offsense, identifying skilled offensive positions, and in-game strategy just wasn't...

Jim Harbaugh entered Michigan without the need to prove himself to the media or be dogged by it. We just had to find out how it was gonna be. And, now we know. He's had plenty of opportunity to deal with all kinds of reporting for a long time, so the idea that he has to placate those who ask questions he chooses not to answer, begs the question when he last did so. Our coach rises to issues of interest and sort of enters into a placation zone when he gets questions of placating substance.

In that regard, he is no different than any other big time coach. And quite honesty, when Saban gets a question he doesn't want to answer, he takes those who press him about it to task in no uncertain terms. You just don't go there.

In SEC country, where offending folks is an old-time religion sin and where you don't talk about things you don't want to talk about, Paul Finebaum finds it easier to attack Jim Harbaugh over nothing compared to the rough and tumble media insults slathered by Saban, the Godfather of the coaching fraternity, who long ago made his bones with the media and now barely tolerates their necessary connection to the game he coaches.

Always remember where you came from and how you want to be viewed when you leave the stage.

This was a GREAT post...

A "few things"

  • Agree 100% on Chris Evans, I tried to say this in the thread when people were calling him a RB - but now that Brian's said it, it's gospel - horray for a 2nd opinion
  • I have no idea what to do with the Brendenson hype, my hope is that he just turns into the #6 OL...if they play him it's that third OT spot that LTT and Newsome played last year.
  • Competition for number is awesome...and so obvious, why didn't WE see that from the jump? This is Harbaugh. We should've guessed/known that was the case the moment WD was talking about three #1's.
  • The press conference thing is nothing and I wish the national media would read this post so they could at least get the other perspective rather than just the perspective of "high profile coach walks away from media."  But many of them are also too lazy to dig any deeper past the easy narrative.

 

Bonus: The recent news on some of the freshman means only one thing...a depth chart is coming soon! WOOOT WOOOOOT! Death to OT SEASON, bitches!!!

I read John Bacon's book 3 and out, and he never names the reporters that uncovered the violations when Coach Rodriguez was at UM. That by chance wasn't Snyder and Sharp was it? Just curious.

Doubt over qb Ben Brady's supply to the initial four game titles (with the NFL's selling point of his / her headgear ongoing) sparks a far more careful projection.

Prior to the Water jets obtain qb circumstance resolved, it's hard to calculate a winning time. Even though Jones Fitzpatrick dividends, the team will need a step in reverse. This can be a harder routine compared to final season's, as they encounter the particular defensive-minded National football conference Western side. Right after overachieving very last period at 10-6, they are credited for the industry a static correction. -- Wealthy CiminiAnalysis: Tough begin ahead of time with regard to Aircraft | Game-by-game predictionsAFC NORTHBaltimore Ravens: 10-6.

Carry out the Bengals obviously have any 5th consecutive double-digit win total inside them? It appears therefore. One full year following promising the actual league's subsequent most difficult schedule (based on 2014 successful proportions), they are offered straight into this coming year linked for that 4th easiest slate. Eight online games far from Henry Darkish Athletic field -- one too the particular March. 40 game working in london versus Buenos aires -- will definitely be near on impossible, and so will some prime-time video games. -- Coley HarveyAnalysis: Burfict to miss a gathering together with Steelers | Game-by-game predictionsCleveland Brown colours: 1-15.

The particular Steelers' protection just isn't distant but nevertheless has adequate questions to restriction a team or else able to contend to get a Super Serving.

This coming year, the particular matchups are generally beneficial in some recoverable format, using opponents incorporating to get a .473 winning percentage in 2015. The most difficult non-divisional competitors, Northeastern along with Kansas, come to Pittsburgh in 2010.

I became ridiculous enough to trust they could go 13-3 as well as remain competitive for a Extremely Serving identify regardless of his or her questionable line troubles very last time. We realized my personal training. The Colts haven't completed something to cause you to be believe your questionable line will improve in addition to their greatest complete rusher, linebacker Robert Mathis, will be 35 years. Not really a proper Claire Good fortune from qb can carry on include other places of doubt about the list.

The comment in Etc. mentions the Coach And Four (where Bo and I used to get our haircuts), but the ESPN article says Jim goes to the State Street Barber Shop.

I admit I had to look up who Temple's coach was.  Nice job winning at Penn State, Mr. Rhule.

Also, the "Goodnight Gorilla" paragraph was sublime.
