Patterson.....GET DOWN YOUNG MAN! Other than that, he's doing a helluva job for us. Thing I love about him the most is he makes our O Line look better than they are with his ability to get outta trouble
Evans....frustrating all around player and too streaky for my liking. Game breaking ability but often times dances too much or makes the wrong cut. Pass blocking is as sketchy as it gets and had an awful whiff. He needs to pick it up. I think he will!
Ben Mason....more of him is never a bad thing. Especially inside the 5. Giving him the ball 4x from inside the 5 and letting him plow it in warms the coddles of my soul
Higdon.....incomplete
Tru Wilson....Pleasant surprise. Best pass blocker by far. Will he still be just "barely good enough" vs better competition? Time will tell
DPJ....I officially rescind everything negative I've said earlier this week in a post lol. I clearly understand the situation now. The coaches have been holding him back. Lets hope they keep feeding him.
Nico....Paging Nico....Where were you yesterday? The consistency with him will be key moving fwd. He can't have any more no shows like he did yesterday. Excited about his upside...
Genry....Welcome to the 2018 season big fella. We've been waiting for ya.....
Mike Onwenu....ok, so here is where this post may start taking a turn for the worst lol. Is it me, or does the only legitimate spot left on the roster for Big Mike actually exist at Noseguard in goal line situations only? This guy can't move and is a liability at this point unless blocking straight ahead. Time for Filiaga!
Rest of the O Line.....incomplete grade at this point but looked like they finally started to gel a little better yesterday. PISSED we didnt see Mayfield or Hudson.
David Long....MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER TO EVER PLAY AT MICHIGAN. When are ppl gonna start talking about him? When are ppl gonna realize he is the REAL #1 shut down corner? WAKE UP! He may just be the best shutdown corner in the nation
Levert Hill...Cmon man....gonna have to be better than you were against ND and SMU. All the tools are there. May need another classic Zordich public undressing soon lol
Kinnel.....time to make some tough decisions here Donny! You know it, and I know it! If your plan is to play your safeties on the slots (which is almost as braindead as putting a SF on a PG to guard him in hoops) then you HAVE to know that Tyree is not your guy! He's not a horrible player. But he's not a starter in YOUR system. Problem is, he's your captain! So benching him for a more talented player will be next to impossible. Damn millenials.....
Metellus....officially the ultimate boom or bust player and tends to change from one quarter to the next. He's gonna have to tighten it up alot
Bush....beast. Nuff said
Hudson....let the game come to you young fella. Seems to be pressing now. Maybe Shea can tell him to relax a bit too? lol
Winovich....Shoulda been named captain and it's not even close! He's the emotional leader and nobody on the team plays harder. This guy is EXACTLY who the Lions are missing! Love Chase Winovich.
Gary....A+ athlete, B to B- football player by comparison. When will his production start matching his immense talent? He's running out of time here at Michigan. Hopefully saving his best for the biggest games. Still takes the worst angles
Dwumfour.....Showed some pulse yesterday. Keep building on that momentum
Kemp....pleasant surprise but we are gonna need Solomon back asap
Hawkins.....Runs circles around Kinnell but needs more reps
Ross....needs more reps to be more consistent. Already looks better than his Bro at the same age however
All in all, it seems like Jim Harbaugh's Plan A is "good enough" for him to be really successful most of the time but I'm starting to believe that the reason he isn't "getting over the hump" is because he doesn't have a Plan B! When was the last time any of us ever said "Wow, we won that game because of that play call or that adjustment that JH made?"
As for DB, he's gotta get us outta the punt block defense on 3rd and long. It's ridiculous and borderline insane at this point to try and match up safeties who cannot run well enough with slots ect. Needs to start mixing in different looks. Hopefully he's saving them for the better teams...
