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.

HOW DOES HE KNOW WHEN WE LOST 10 STARTERS?????

is imminent.
August 30th, 2017 at 7:59 AM ^
How closely does our coaching & analyst staff monitor statements like this from opposing teams? Not for silly "locker room" quotes--I assume our own players find that. But if this kid is really "tipping his hand" as to fame prep & what Florida might do.
Does our staff notice this kind of stuff & adjust accordingly? Or is this such minor chatter that it never gets heard by them or it gets dismissed as just chatter?

and their linebackers don't cover wideouts well, the placekickers struggle to pass-block, the QBs don't intercept any passes, the running backs haven't recorded any sacks, and no tight ends on the roster have ever successfully kicked a field goal.

McElwain told them to.
If they're talking then they're not inhaling weed.

I hope it means they are disregarding us as another slow Midwest team. Can't wait for Saturday.
August 30th, 2017 at 1:47 PM ^
They do that every time they play us . . . and then lose.
August 30th, 2017 at 9:31 AM ^
Seems like he accidentally exposed at least a part of their strategy for the game.
3 days for Harbaugh & co. to incorporate into preparations... wonder how pissed McElwain is about it, since Scarlett wouldn't have said this unless it was being drilled into his head by coaches this week.
August 30th, 2017 at 9:34 AM ^
I envision Rashan Gary channeling his inner Julius from Remember the Titans as he's staring down on Jordan who is flat on his back multiple times in the game:
"You'd better make yourself comfortable down there. Real comfortable."

This guy had been on the 1969 Commodores team that was Bo's first opponent at UM. He recalled that Michigan's players "seemed really angry" and that he spent much of the game looking at the sky after being knocked flat.
Michigan won 42-14 after being up only 14-7 after three quarters.

We've got 11 Jordan Scarletts on our offense.

I actually feel sorry for this knucklehead. No I don't. He's toast along with the rest of the gators. Victory will feel so good after all their talking.
GO BLUE!!
August 30th, 2017 at 9:52 AM ^
He's just blathering the old "Big 10 teams are slow" thing they've been repeating down there forever. Has he forgotten the Citrus Bowl already?
August 30th, 2017 at 10:02 AM ^
I feel like the collective intelligence of the whole Florida program, coaches on down, is lacking.

But not with speed—with endurance. Cheetahs can only go in short bursts, while wolverines can lope all day without tiring. Does that mean we'll put them away in the fourth quarter?
August 30th, 2017 at 12:41 PM ^

What i do not get is the 'unconfirmed' fact that this is our fastest/quickest DE set we have probably ever head.
Winovich is probably a bit quicker and almost as fast as Gary. Sideline to sideline Gary may win, but midfield to sideline i bet Winovich has him.
These are the 2 quickest/fastest DE starters i recall Michigan ever having.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:32 AM ^
I cannot wait for this game to finally happen. Show no mercy.

is a bunch of Loud mouths and thugs
August 30th, 2017 at 1:50 PM ^
Well they are an SEC team.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:51 AM ^
That guy can probably out run 1/2 of Florida's back 7.
August 30th, 2017 at 11:19 AM ^
Or eleven-dimensional chess. Scarlett is trying to sucker our DL into overpursuing so their backs can cut back for big yardage.
August 30th, 2017 at 12:50 PM ^
He may have just said that because Gary said nothing impresses him about the Gators offense.
August 30th, 2017 at 3:32 PM ^
Full quote from Gary: "What impresses me? Watching other people's film doesn't really impress me. Going into the game, we want to win. Nothing impresses me. I'm just looking for what they like to run, their favorite plays and stuff like that and try to stop it." He was discussing his mentality in watching film, not making any statements about whether Florida's offense is "impressive" or not. If you or he can't distinguish that from a direct statement saying that Michigan's defensive line does something poorly, then you should work on that.
