Florida RB Jordan Scarlett: "Michigan's DL doesn't move well sideline to sideline."
Florida has been running their mouth an awful lot leading up to this game.

So, attack the edges is the game plan then? Khaleke has much excite.

for them to go sideline to sideline. 90% of Florida's offensive snaps will result in Michigan's defensive linemen and linebackers blowing up plays mere seconds after the snap- so he is somewhat correct.

Did you watch the video? The guy is just giving his thoughts on what he saw on tape, and praising his teammate. This is not really yacking, not really talking shit, just a guy talking.
August 30th, 2017 at 8:38 AM ^
Except what he said is not true. If he was "just giving his thoughts on what he saw on tape" he might want to stick to the truth. This defensive line DOES move well sideline to sideline, so why say that they don't? Its talking shit.
If it were me "just talking", I would say "their defensive line is very good. They have earned their reputation from their play last year but we will be ready" and move on.
Don't say anything negative and don't say anything that isn't true, otherwise, you're talking shit!

i'm so sick of everyone getting all worked up when someone says something that they honestly think. it's sports. it'd be great if everyone just said what they actually thought about the other team, rather than the usual humble bs. so I say good for him.
August 30th, 2017 at 12:02 AM ^
I'm so sick of a small minority getting all worked up when people have an opinion or respond on a message board to someone says something.
He can say what he wants, it doesn't mean people have to applaud him for it - especially if they disagree or if he's just flat out wrong. It doesn't mean an opposing fan or competitor can't use it as motivation and point and laugh and what they feel is an idiotic statement.
What exactly are you so worked up over (you started with "I'm so sick" so don't backpedal now)?
Edit: And last time we played them their leading rusher was their QB because of 22 yard scramble that led to nothing. He finished the game with a team high 55 yards. That was 2 years ago. They rushed for 118 yards as a team.
August 30th, 2017 at 12:00 AM ^
Sure, they can say what they want. And us, as fans can say how stupid he is to say that seeing how Winovich, Gary, and Hurst are 3 of the quickest and most athletic defensive linemen in the Country.
August 30th, 2017 at 12:09 AM ^
their coach is super smart and is going to outsmart michigans coaches , by making us think they will attack the edges but then run it right up the gut. or, they just have alot of loud mouths. we will see.

Nobody is getting "Worked up"
People just think his comment is stupid and.........it is considering our d line is not slow at all

Don't really think the guy was even shit talking if you watch the video, but he's a speed-back that thinks he can get the edge. We'll find out.
It's actually a matchup to keep an eye on. Scarlett ran a 4.3 flat electric timed at the Nike Opening. Rashan runs about a 4.5, but weighs 100 pounds more.
Force=Mass x Acceleration. Science bitches. Hope you don't get hurt too bad Scarlett.
August 30th, 2017 at 2:37 AM ^
Everything i have seen from draft sites on him is he is a high 4.4 to mid 4.5 guy. His film shows this as well. He is much like webber at osu, in that he is elusive because of subtle moves making it hard to hit him square. But he is far from a speed back.

don't want to be that guy, but he was probably basing it off the FSU bowl film. He also said he doesn't think anyone can block Tavon, big deal he is pumping his teammate up. We had reports coming out of camp that Hudson was one of the best athletes in the country. Players tend to rave about their team to reporters, I don't think it's really newsworthy.
August 30th, 2017 at 9:20 AM ^
very board-worthy. As you can see.

Is it just me, or is the Ulizio thread inaccessible, not because it's locked but because...of a blue screen error preventing us from reading a word? I do not believe it's just me, since the post count has frozen at 163.
My apologies for this being meta and off the topic at hand. But no one wants a poster to start a new thread for this and, yet, I feel it deserves this much comment. I've never seen the site fail in such a hyper-focused manner.
August 30th, 2017 at 12:58 AM ^
I get the same thing
August 30th, 2017 at 1:03 AM ^
Perhaps swn sabotaged it. I get the same thing.
August 30th, 2017 at 1:34 AM ^
Too bad. The Ulizio news is important and rife with implications (wholly positive as far as I can tell, though I encourage the debate). It should easily rank as the "hottest" thread on this board over the next day or two. But alas.
August 30th, 2017 at 1:52 AM ^
August 30th, 2017 at 8:09 AM ^
I get it too.
So . . . what did it say?
August 30th, 2017 at 12:32 AM ^
I still don't get why people in the SEC think everyone else is slow. He mentions the line is strong, but doesn't move well. I don't think it's very offensive, but I just find it weird they still have this mentality that the midwest (and I guess everywhere, but the south) isn't athletic.
August 30th, 2017 at 12:36 AM ^
To their defense - that narrative used to be true. I think the recruiting changes the top programs in the big ten have made have certainly changed that, but stereotypes are hard to break.
August 30th, 2017 at 8:14 AM ^
Agreed.
We still think the SEC is full of dumb cheaters.
But there was that one month recently where a school besides Vandy did not cheat all that much. So, it's not entirely true.
But stereotypes are hard to break.
August 30th, 2017 at 12:33 AM ^
"Nobody can block the guy" could also be interpreted as poor offensive line play. These camp comments prior to week 1 are worthless IMO.

Rashan Gary runs like a 4.54 40 which is insanely fast for a d-lineman so I dont think at least on one side of the line that UM will have a problem moving horizantally along the line
Gary is faster than most college RBs for crying outloud lol

If he's looking at last year's game film, then he might have a point. But this isn't last year's team. But, he'll either be proved right or wrong on Saturday.
August 30th, 2017 at 9:28 AM ^
Hell, even looking at last year's game film, I can remember a number of plays where Hurst and Gary took down RBs trying to get outside.
