Harbaugh Offers 3* Dual Threat QB

I just want to see that last name on the back of a Michigan jersey.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:04 PM ^
I want to hear Brandstatter try to pronounce it.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:45 PM ^
No, we bring in Jim Leyland for the tough names.
November 30th, 2017 at 5:51 PM ^
November 30th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
That reminds me of Houma's last year. Brandy called him homo for most of a game. I couldn't believe someone didn't smack him at some point to snap him out of it.
November 30th, 2017 at 4:15 PM ^
of that NFL fantasy football commercial with the dude pronouncing Houshmandzadeh.
"TJ Howsyourvanilla"
"TJ Whosyourmomma"

I say we bring back Holtz for a game to pronounce this name.....ONLY IF we've been strapped for rain for several weeks prior, of course. At least then the result of that disaster is useful, although not to the FieldTurf in the stadium itself.

I grew up watching Harry Caray trying (and failing miserably) with some toughies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNn-_FU-kiw
I recall with fondness the Michigan Stadium crowd cheering every time Howard King pronounced "Biakabutuka" during his first game action (and probably several games thereafter). Unlike Caray, the consummate pro King had done his homework and was flawless.
November 30th, 2017 at 5:35 PM ^
To be fair, it's not exactly a secret that Caray was probably drunk for the majority of those games so I'm willing to cut him some slack (outside of being drunk at work).
November 30th, 2017 at 7:23 PM ^
try pronouncing it backwards...
November 30th, 2017 at 5:55 PM ^
November 30th, 2017 at 8:19 PM ^
seems pretty easy to prounce Fo-mac-e-naw. Did I get it right?

November 30th, 2017 at 2:08 PM ^
to get Biakabutuka on one, this would be easy...
November 30th, 2017 at 2:12 PM ^
Outside of beating OSU and MSU annually I don't think I've ever wanted something so much lol
November 30th, 2017 at 2:28 PM ^
Harbaugh has FOMO about seeing that name on a jersey.

just make him run a 3.97 instead
BTW, please look after my dad... he should be at the Pearly Gates right about now
November 30th, 2017 at 2:11 PM ^
Seriously? I'm very sorry for your loss.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:28 PM ^
November 30th, 2017 at 2:35 PM ^
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:52 PM ^
I was very young when my dad died, but the death of a parent is almost always an awful thing to go through, unless your dad was Charles Manson or something.
Hopefully St. Peter lets him in so he can spend all of eternity doing what I would do. Which is watching people shower.
November 30th, 2017 at 3:57 PM ^
Do you work for the Today Show?

No, Penn State.
December 1st, 2017 at 4:49 AM ^
Ditto. I lost my Dad when I was 28, and not a day goes by, y'know?
But I like to think that he's sitting up there, with a cold beer on a gorgeous summer day ... and telling Bo that he would have won more Rose Bowls if he'd just passed the ball more.

Sorry for your loss.

Straight line speed is only one of many attibutes to consider. I expected more from God...
November 30th, 2017 at 2:34 PM ^
If you're 4.97 as a back, you're not fast on a decent high school football team. Straight line or not, that is slow.

You don't have to be Denard. "Dual-threat" can mean that if no receivers are open, you can still run for positive yardage in a situation other than a bootleg in which the defense is so stunned the QB crossed the LoS that they didn't have any back 7 defenders hanging around. Making the right read and short-area burst are concerns #1 and #2. Being able to take a hit and fall forward, or alternatively break a safety's ankle, is a luxury.
A lot of dual-threat QBs aren't burners. If the threat of the QB's legs is enough to run a zone read and/or force the defense to utilize a spy, he's dual-threat enough.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:10 PM ^
November 30th, 2017 at 2:11 PM ^
Can't you make that happen?
November 30th, 2017 at 2:16 PM ^

You cannot petition the lord with prayer!

How about Deshaun Watson 2.0. If we had him in '16, we win the natty! A running/passing QB this year and we still win 10 games. Nothing covers up a problem OL like dual threats.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:56 PM ^
I want a Denard the size of Onwenu.

A lotr of dula-threat QBs aren't burners? Can you name some of those guys because they aren't coming to me right off the top of my head. And then give their 40 times if you know it because 4.97 is SLOW. There are many lineman that can run sub 5.0.
