Things Discussed:

  • Tactical issues: They run constraint plays without establishing the base, so they overreactions to what they're doing.
  • They don't punish the safeties being at 8 and 6 yards.
  • Two different OC types: Lindsay type attaches his stuff to what you're doing; RR/Beck types want to install their offense.
  • Watch Utah last year: Beck last year would not like what Beck does this year.
  • Feels like Jason Beck is on tilt; he's trying to win the game with every playcall, and he's not getting the homers.
  • You can put Max Bredeson on the field but he's got to be at least a little bit of a threat.
  • Alex Bauman? He's a blocking TE who makes good reads so he might be an answer. But Zack Marshall was that guy.
  • How many seams have we thrown this year? None. How did Purdue get a big run vs Minnesota at the start of the game, threatened the seam, safety steps back, blockers win.
  • They don't run Dagger. They don't throw to anyone but their first two receivers.
  • Brian got a QB running game and the monkey's paw curled.
  • This is probably the biggest disconnect between expectations and reality we've ever faced.
  • Hockeytalk: Michigan has an incredible concentration of talent, they're not the only ones. Heady time to be a college hockey fan because there are some great teams out there because CHL players are now in the Big Ten. Think the season will be less frustrating but the Tournament will be brutal because several schools (MSU, Denver) have their best team ever.
  • Hoopstalk: Not last year's team but pretty good. Trey is the star but he's a shooter; his offense should be shoot or go downhill. Expect them to do some shooting, work in Quinn Costello as a movement shooter, and OREB. Thiam has to learn better shot selection, develop a two-man game with Cadeau. He can't be taking the bad shots because the other guys should be taking those so Thiam and Estrella can put them back.
