If you're on On3, there's a good poster on their Michigan site who knows his stuff (MrSharkFB) if you're desperate for moar Michigan takes

You treat him like he's prime Gronk and try to knock the shit out of him on early downs when he's in-line (with a DB having eyes on him flat footed before committing to the run), get into his body on early downs when he's flexed out (again with a DB with eyes on him) and attempt to disrupt his timing, and bracket him on obvious passing plays, and mix in some other stuff throughout the game to make it tougher for them to adjust to Over-allocate towards him while staying honest to the run, and under-allocate to their WRs

@blacklab are you able to move this to the football board since the OP hasn't yet?

For a guy who's currently projected to go in the top five, Graham doesn't seem like an especially freaky athlete. He's more of a technique, strength, motor, and nastiness guy than the elite Bama/Georgia IDL types we've seen

The also lost Junior Colston and Kris Jenkins Colston and Sainristil were dudes

With the caveat that it's based only on the Fresno State game (they could be holding stuff back, weren't fully engaged, yada yada), Michigan doesn't just have a QB problem Their WRs might be below average Big XII level. Their small fast guy isn't particular explosive for that archetype. Their "X" looks like a Garrett Gray. Their 3rd WR when in 11 is just fine, but they prefer to stay in 12 Their FB/HB isn't as good as I'd expected. We've seen better on an annual basis at KSU Michigan has had arguably the best OL in the country for each of the last three years. This OL is much closer to average P4 Their TE could be playing for an NFL team this Sunday. They're supposed to have a good second TE (#17) but I haven't seen him. Maybe he was held back?

Actually changing up coverages more than a handful of times a game like we saw against CSU should make you feel better about this

Different looks in a creative run game

Kamari Lassiter is +6600 to win defensive rookie of the year. Just saying

Line was sitting at -6.5 across the board, and it's now -7 or -7.5

I think Johnson is like Stingley Jr in that you can get him from time to time, but he's a ballhawk who's a threat for a pick any time you target him

Per Cover 3, Michigan receivers had 7 targets for 19 yards.

Going back and watching the Michigan game closer, and a couple of first half thoughts.. - their DT duo destroys worlds, and when the first team is in, the DL as a whole immediately move the LOS back two yards at the snap. The rest of the defense outside of CB1 (who might be a Stingley Jr clone) is just fine; just run clear-out routes sacrificial routes with whoever he's covering. It seems like a lot of Fresno's offensive success is when one or both of the DTs are subbed out. Similar to Georgia, they have some sick simulated pressures that college offenses can't handle - this isn't the same Michigan OL. They had a lot of issues against Fresno State - they don't have a QB. They don't have WRs. I'm not sure if they even have a good RB, despite Edwards having a big name. They do have TEs. They should really consider basing out of two TE, one FB, and Orgi, and just daring you to load the box to stop the run. I don't think Sherrone has that in him though. Harbaugh might have done it though

Just watched Oddity, it's really good. Adding it to all future horror rec lists

Temple has four turnovers, all giving OU a short field The OU defense looks good, but Temple's QB is a joke

According to what?

Burks is a stud, Farooq is fine (although he seems to have left the game), and the TE is solid. Brenen and Hester suck. Not sure why OU is letting Arnold get hit this game Their OL looks the worst that I can remember

Not yet That's one of a few that I'm extremely excited for coming up though (Terrifier 3, Oddity, Trap)

KC, Buffalo, and Baltimore are also dealing with a first place schedule

That game will be a cock fight

Correct. Some NFL teams are prioritizing these speeds over 40 times. It's why Houston felt fine drafting 4.70 40 Kamari Lassiter to play outside corner in the 2nd round

The NFL guys love him, although that's more based on traits than how good he's currently in college

This is the first time I've ever gone into a season thinking they have even a small chance of winning the Super Bowl I think the Chiefs are still the clear favorite in the AFC, but Houston is in the next tier
