  1. Simon has good vision and instincts. Needs to wrap the ball up in traffic though.
  2. Warren Roberson was a liability last season on special teams and he's still at it.
  3. I would add inconsistent OL play to that. Yes, Arch needs to improve, but penalties, complete whiffs in pass pro and poor run blocking have a whole lot to with killing drives and QB play. So I'm just looking for incremental improvement each game and I'll be elated if it's more substantial than that from all the players. This series of tune-up games are just what the doctor ordered for a brand new OL and young players.
  4. And I'd also add, he's slept an awful lot since his first two starts last season. I'd not even bother counting them because continuity in the saddle is an important factor. He's familiar running the offense, but that's against the same defense all the time where he knows their tendencies and doesn't have to worry about getting sacked or a real loss. As he develops, so should the OL. They have a lot of room for improvement too and so long as they do, that will make a big difference in sustaining drives.
  5. I think you're taking far too much from this game. Or said another way, wait a few more games before trying to draw any conclusions. For instance, this was Clark's first live reps. The coaches were substituting in multiple players on the depth chart to get them used to playing under the lights in a real game. Baxter and Clark are both on a progression. Their ceilings are yet unkown and the OL was also inconsistent. Wisner is not 100% either. Gibson looked good, except of course for the fumble. Hopefully, he doesn't continue that theme, and no, I'm not ignoring his issue with it last season, but I'm unwilling to write off the team or a player based on a single fumble or game this season.
  6. Michigan caught them with a wrinkle. It will be interesting to see if they can wear them down in the second half.
  7. Michigan fired up.
  8. Nicely done. Collapsed the pocket.
  9. Nice conversion
  10. If he's not fumbling in practice, I wouldn't write him off just yet. Definitely on probation though. We still have a couple of tune-up games where he could get snaps without too much risk. He clearly has potential otherwise.
  11. Oopsie ...
  12. He was a fumbling machine last season and didn't protect the QB. No idea what he has done in practice though. Hopefully he has improved on both counts. Looking good so far here in garbage time with the 2nd OL though.
  13. This offense is designed to win by 1 point ... and you'll like it, or it's runny eggs and burnt toast for you.
  14. Gibson sighting.
  15. Washington caught it that time. Sweet.
  16. Nice play by Filsaime. Gotta hand it to Sceduro. Good player for the Spartans.
  17. On replay, really like how Arch protected the ball shifting sides with it on that scamper.
  18. Good scramble taking what was there.
  19. Holding not called there.
  20. Maybe you could tell us a few thousand more times in this thread. Not sure we quite got it the first four times?
  21. Nice play by Littleton.
  22. Yes Sir Mr. Clark!
  23. user id does not check ...
