Minor/Brown are made of glass in practice. Minor’s had nagging injuries all year with the ankle, and this week his shoulder is dinged. I don’t expect that to keep him out of the game. Brown has had similar undisclosed leg problems, thought to be either an ankle or hamstring injury. Vincent Smith has jumped Shaw (another made of glass candidate) and Cox in the depth chart and played meh last week. Cox is more of a big back that runs up the middle. You’ll probably see fullback Kevin Grady before you see him.

Re: Y-position

Odoms has also been injured of late. He’s the best all around player at the Y with his ability to block players much bigger than him. Roundtree does have the more explosive catching ability and better “in-space” moves, but not by a whole lot. Koger, the tight end (included as they line up in the Y often), drops several easy passes. He’s got good size and can make some insanely hard catches, but some of the easy passes bounce right off his hands.

Re: Linebackers

Ezeh has also been benched in a few of the recent games for walk on Kevin Leach. Leach was brought in because Rodriguez wanted to cover “a speedier team”. Leach doesn’t really look that quick. I expect Ezeh because he’s not a piece of paper that the OL can just run over. Ezeh is tremendously slow at reading run/pass, and has been blocked by or OL or even been sealed off by reading the play wrong a lot this year. Brown is the only linebacker that can half way cover a tight end. The rest are horrible, and anytime they give up a big play on a bonehead mistake, they’ll be substituted for.

Re: Secondary

Passes over the middle will be open all day. In Robinson’s system, the SS is the deep safety and the FS plays closer to the line, basically opposite of what you would normally think. This means the walk on safety plays the deep part of the field. He is slow. FS Mike Williams is bad. That’s all I can say about that.

We might see Pryor lined up at WR in Red Zone situations or especially if we are inside Michigans 5 and its 3rd down or even 4th down……………could be crazy, but hey………..its Michigan.

* Our Defense I am confident will put out another Nittney showing. ( we play inspired on the road ) Taint ( yes I said T-A-I-N-T ) Forcier will ( I believe ) be knocked out of this game before halftime. 2 saltine crackers , and this guy has to take a shit. Michigan in my eyes is very one diminsional, we eliminate thier run ………and they have nothing.

* Our Special teams needs to play out of thier minds ………..they’ve been spotty all yr , but has come up huge when needed.

* Evil Tress needs to exploit the middle of Michigans defense, it is there for the taking. Thier strength on D is thier DE’s………take them out of the play and we get huge runs going…………especially Pryor breaking up the gut to move the chains . Pryor will be the next Michigan killer ( ala Troy Smith ).

* Dane , Posey , Duron should see alot of action ………………and have a huge day.

* Evil Tress relinquishes a tyranny of plays that DickRod will be pacing the sidelines wondering where the hell theses plays came from, cause he hadn’t seen them all yr. Ahh note to DickRod…………Evil Tress has plays he only shows during this game . ( I think he needs to use them in BCS bowl games as well , but any hoo ).

Lastly……………I seriously hope we drop half a hundred on these guys in ” The Shit House ” , the emotional and
psychological pain Tress gives Michigan coaches is a show to watch unfold on the sideline in itself. Seeing DickRod come unglued for the millionith time on National TV AGAIN will bring joy and happyness to this whole hearted Buckeye………yes in deed.

Go Bucks!!!………..and FU** Michigan, because were going back to Cali – Cali – Cali……………..
