Michigan 2017 Season Thread

[Mdot21]

Michigan needs to recruit better when in comes to QBs.  A premium needs to be placed on QBs that can have their head repeatedly slammed to the turf or speared with a helmet containing a 310 lb. DT and not miss a single down.

College game needs to protect QBs better. 
Michigan coaches needs to get their EFFING shit together on pass protection. They have failed MISERABLY all year teaching the OLs, TEs, and RBs the pass blocking scheme.

I agree with this. Peters took a beating on Saturday even before the final hit.

I remember all those arguments about Harbaugh and Erik Swenson.  Seems like they should have kept him.

Not sure he would've made much of a difference. What I am seeing is a systemic problem that has been going on throughout the entire season. And it's not just the linemen but it's also the RB's and TE's. They are absolutely horrible in pass protection. They don't know who to pick-up, they can't handle stunts from the DL and their double teams routinely are bad- they leave double teams too early or they double team someone unnecessarily and let a free rusher into the backfield. Often times they don't even pick guys up. That should not be happening every single game this late in the season.

These repeated issues scream coaching to me. And it's not just the line. It's the RB's and TE's too. They have no idea how to work together and they don't know what they are looking at and who to pick up in pass pro. It's BAD. I don't know if it's because Drevno is doing too much and not paying enough attention to detail or if there's an issue with the style of blocking scheme and it's too complicated or if it's an issue with Drevno and Greg Frye where Drevno teaches one thing and Frye another and the players' heads are all scrambled. Might be a combo of all 3. Regardless they need to fix it and FIX IT fast.

Drevno should probably leave and Frey should be promoted to full-time OL coach and they should probably promote Pep Hamilton to OC. I think they should also go find a real RB coach. They went from having one of the best in Wheatley to......Jim's son.
