Looked like he bruised his ribs on a blitz that put him down just after he released the ball. Think it was on the last drive of the first half.
September 1st, 2019 at 9:20 AM ^
Yep, I immediately noticed that too...he was clutching his side. Announcers said nothing but I knew he was hurt. You could see it.
And while I have stuck up for Matt Millen due to his health scare and I typically do not really care about the announcers, I do have to say he's really bad at the color thing as I did pay attention to what he was saying.
September 1st, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
Shea got hurt when hit in upper left back below shoulder blade. DB drove his helmet first. It rang DBs bell he went off before next play after that hit
I muted the whole game after 1st TD by MTSU.
September 1st, 2019 at 7:28 PM ^
Best thing about Millen's announcing is that it prevents him from being the Lions GM.
September 1st, 2019 at 12:36 AM ^
He took several big hits. Hopefully he’s just a little bruised. Do not think we should run Shea 8 times and Dylan 9 times vs a team like MTSU.
September 1st, 2019 at 12:41 AM ^
Well the O line won't face many D lines as strong and athletic as MTSU.
Wait a minute...
September 1st, 2019 at 12:50 AM ^
Hopefully Ryan Hayes won't, because we'll be playing our All B1G tackle instead of a RS freshman.
September 1st, 2019 at 9:09 AM ^
We'll have to wait for the UFR but I felt Hayes was better than Mayfield in pass pro
September 1st, 2019 at 9:47 AM ^
Mayfield struggled in pass pro. I have to take a closer look but his techniques aren't up to standard IMO.
September 1st, 2019 at 12:00 PM ^
Most teams we play won’t actually be blitzing 6 guys almost every play. Would have been nice to take more advantage of that on offense but that is more on Patterson refusing to get the ball out quickly and a lack of a wr screen game than offensive line play
September 1st, 2019 at 8:00 AM ^
Not all of those were unnecessary to get the win. Michigan was clearly better, but that could have turned into a loss.
September 1st, 2019 at 9:54 AM ^
September 1st, 2019 at 12:40 AM ^
Why did we run Dylan so much with a banged up Shea?
September 1st, 2019 at 7:49 AM ^
Because there's no data to support the idea that running your qb actually leads to more injuries?
September 1st, 2019 at 8:45 AM ^
When you run like Dylan there is.....in case you missed the "I'm Superman, I can take on three players" moment where he gets body slammed.
September 1st, 2019 at 10:42 AM ^
Multiple times Dylan could've thrown the ball away or run out of bounds or gotten down instead of trying to be '18 Ben Mason...he didn't. That's on him.
I'm willing to bet that you have never played a down of D1 football and probably didn't recieve and education at Michigan yet have no trouble understanding that as a QB you need to mitigate contact unless a big play/win is on the line.
My long winded way of saying..."Blame Dylan."
September 1st, 2019 at 12:41 AM ^
It was obvious he got banged up and that’s why he saw limited action in the 2nd Half. Any idiot on here that thought he got benched for throwing three first half touchdowns should be banned from posting for 6 weeks. We have lots and lots of dumb fans who know little about football.
September 1st, 2019 at 7:53 AM ^
You really should learn to speak your mind more
September 1st, 2019 at 9:44 AM ^
Great analysis... considering the one TD pass was a lame duck to the endzone and the receiver had to sit down in the potty position to catch it (wide open mind you).
The other two passes were TDs only due to receivers either climbing a fuckin' ladder to get the horrible passes, or talent to avoid tackles. Absolutely ridiculous, Shae's aim was non-existent.
When we asked Shae to get it to the corner of the endzone HE COULDN'T. :He's an AVERAGE quarterback at best. He'll go down as a nobody in the anals of M football.
September 1st, 2019 at 10:00 AM ^
You must have lost your wages to Shea
September 1st, 2019 at 10:05 AM ^
You're a horrible human being who knows very little, if not nothing at all, about sports
September 1st, 2019 at 10:19 AM ^
Who the hell is Shae? That the girl who spurned you and turned you into the grump ass you are today?
He's an AVERAGE quarterback at best. He'll go down as a nobody in the anals of M football.
And you're just some fucking nobody bitching on a website. Patterson has already done more than you will accomplish in your entire life. If everything about Michigan pisses you off so much feel free to head over to RCMB and stay a while.
September 1st, 2019 at 1:24 PM ^
And what about the two that were dropped in the end zone. Going to blame Shea for those?
September 2nd, 2019 at 2:12 PM ^
You don't risk overthrowing a guy, or a running him out of the endzone when there's no one within 30 yards of him. Leave the ball short and let the guy catch it. No reason to try and be perfect on that throw.
September 1st, 2019 at 12:41 AM ^
Some bumps and bruises. I hope he learns to get rid of the ball faster or just chuck it away instead of taking those 10-20 yard sacks. You can sit back there for a little bit but you really cannot spend all take trying to decide who to throw the ball too!
September 1st, 2019 at 12:42 AM ^
Why did we have Dylan AND Shea out for the same play (Dylan in at QB with Shea at WR/flanker)? Does anyone else see how that could go horribly wrong??
September 1st, 2019 at 6:39 AM ^
Or having Lavert Hill returning punts. He had a bad game with a couple of key drops, but we are thin at CB, & we have other guys that can handle that.
September 1st, 2019 at 9:48 AM ^
I don't mind Lavert Hill fielding punts but he struggled last night in catching the ball. By the same logic, let's not have Charles Woodson at PR because they're thin at CB!
September 1st, 2019 at 2:36 PM ^
Apparently Harbaugh or Gattis didn't. I think that play was after Shea got dinged up too. It doesn't make a bit of sense to me, especially when we have so many really good receivers.
September 1st, 2019 at 12:48 AM ^
This would explain why he passed for like 200 yards in the first half and went like 0-8 or something at one point in the third quarter. The offense was rolling before then. I wonder if it was the play when he got blindsided on a blitz. The timing seems about right.
September 1st, 2019 at 12:49 AM ^
I thought that was apparent from all the wincing after that hit late in the first half, but apparently many of our snowflake friends believe it's just because Shea sucks.
September 1st, 2019 at 1:09 AM ^
You are correct. It was obvious that’s what happened and the coaching staff decided to put the backup in and go fairly conservative in a blow out game that was never close to being in doubt. When I checked in on here later I was shocked to learn that lots of people thought he got benched and — somehow — figured we sucked even though our defense looked really good and the offense has not looked as fast in a decade. Our fans have jumped the shark. Most people on here should start following chess.
September 1st, 2019 at 1:11 AM ^
Oh yeah — and we have a stable of awesome RBs. But we should feel bad about that too for some reason.
September 1st, 2019 at 1:16 AM ^
For the first time in seemingly forever, a freshman(Charbonnet) actually looked like a 5 star running back.
September 1st, 2019 at 9:11 AM ^
Gotta be honest after all the hype about him I’ve read here his performance was underwhelming compared to the hype. He looked good but not heisman good that’s all.
September 1st, 2019 at 10:03 AM ^
Wut? Did you see the pass pro? He looked like a JR and he is playing D-1 football for the first time. Hope you performed as a 25 year old veteran on your first week at work when you were 21 or you are not 21 yet.
September 1st, 2019 at 9:17 AM ^
All his tape declares he is a 5***** RB...the anxiety of the hand-wringers not withstanding. Michigan did not play well and yet was not able to elicit any hint of anxiety from this fan. Michigan is very good-we will see how good.
September 1st, 2019 at 9:54 AM ^
Jackson must have coached him on the side...
September 1st, 2019 at 12:49 PM ^
I like this guy.
September 1st, 2019 at 2:06 AM ^
This ^^^ !!!
Fielding H. Yost and Bo are rolling over in their graves listening to the carping going on in here.
September 1st, 2019 at 9:53 AM ^
lmao... really, maybe Shae should put down the video games and play some football... O'Hara despite his loss, WON the QB battle and did more to see the success of his team than Shae did. Shae shouldn't be a liability, he should be a leader... I saw none of that on the field last evening.
September 1st, 2019 at 9:58 AM ^
Who is this "Shae" you keep blabbering about???
September 1st, 2019 at 10:05 AM ^
GTFO. Unless he can throw and catch the ball so players won't drop, he did well the first half.
September 2nd, 2019 at 11:51 AM ^
In a way it's a good thing that you idiots are the loudest lot. That way it's easy to identify you all for ridicule.
September 1st, 2019 at 11:15 AM ^
I don't read the game threads or snowflake threads so I'm also shocked to hear people think he got benched. It seemed to me like Harbaugh said McCaffrey and Milton would play this year and he actually followed through on it. A lot of people have bitched in the past that Harbaugh has to be up 70 to 0 to play the backups, I was happy to see he realized that we need to get everyone out there in these tune-up games.
September 1st, 2019 at 11:49 AM ^
Probably the same people who bitch that he doesn’t pull the starters earlier.
September 1st, 2019 at 1:38 AM ^
Although I am continually challenged with the finer points of football, it was readily apparent that Shea was not being benched.
He took some hits for sure, but I was more surprised how long O'Hara stayed in the game. He took many more.
September 1st, 2019 at 7:36 AM ^
Apparently, to some, the only reason you can be taken out of a game - even temporarily - is because you suck. It could not be because, say, you were wincing in pain at one point.
Some fans are weird.....also disturbed and apparently unobservant.
September 1st, 2019 at 10:12 AM ^
If Shea was too hurt to play QB.....why did they leave him in as a WR?
I think he got pulled because he put the ball on the ground four different times during the game (fumble, bobbled exchanges....). Coaching staff was sending a message. That doesn't mean there's a QB controversy.
Shea said he has to protect the ball better at least 4-5 times during the press conference....even when he wasn't asked questions about it. Clearly it was on the front of his mind.
