The Blue Board

He basically got all those yards in the last half of the season. RB was a revolving door for the first half, no one stepped up.

I don't think Michigan's defense is exactly soft. Our LB's are going to be physical, fast, and tough. Our safeties are big and will lay the wood. Our corners aren't the toughest I will admit that.

I really think you are underestimating the talent on the defense Michigan has. As long as the DL doesn't get absolutely butt raped Michigan will be able to handle the defensive side of the ball fine.

Also Michigan is not a 1 trick pony on offense, stating so just shows your ignorance towards the truth. Toussaint had 1000 yards when he only started half the games, and is much improved according to reports. Our WR's while not flashy are no slouches. Roundtree holds Michigan record for yards in a game, Gallon is a shifty litter bugger who plays bigger and tougher than listed. And Jerald Robinson is ready to make a name for himself.

From what I understand Bama lacks a proven NT, but has great ends. That bodes well for Michigan, because Schofield and Lewan are both very good tackles. If you don't dominate the interior of Michigan's oline, you aren't going to dominate the LOS.

Thus far we've moved one of our ends inside. He can more than handle his own until a true NG steps up

See our O-line...then come back to this thread

Kentucky?

And? Michigan's d-line has a lot of talented guys on the roster, and 3 excellent DL guys teaching them.

Again you are just showing the Alabama arrogance.

Our DL is the position i am most interested in seeing. We lost a lot from last year but we have moved some guys around to get more athletic. From what i have heard they have accomplished this but it remains to be seen if we can stop the run. That is the question now. Hoke and Mattison put a ton of emphasis on stopping the run so I imagine if they felt like the moves were going to make is too weak against the run they wouldn't have done it. Bama in the first game will definelty be the test to see how good or DL is going to be.

Agree 100%...this is logic people! See Milliner in 2010...This isnt going to be the 2010 version of bama..IMO the only way to beat us is at our own game and throw the ball less than 20 times, and force us to throw the ball more.-DOING THAT IS THE PROBLEM-

This isnt arrogance...its knowledge, Barrett Jones (best OL in the country), Fluker and Warmack are considered by the NFL to be first rounders, and Cyrus K is a 3 year and out player..

ITT Michigan fans thinks Charles Woodson is gonna walk through the door.

1997 called. It wants it's false bravado back.

M&B really hit on it, the raw talent is there, the coaching is there, we need to see it on the field though. Going off of Rivals since they reach back further, 5* DT William Campbell (starting NT and true senior), 4* DT Quinton Washington (RS junior), 4* DT Richard Ash (RS Soph), 4* DT Kenny Wilkins (RS Soph), 3* DT Jibreel Black (Starting DT and true Junior), and 5* DT Ondre Pipkins (true fresh).

Come on, don't be that guy.
