I happened to have the radio on this morning and heard Boomer talking about QBs and throwing catchable balls. JJ should have been listening - he was talking about not trying to break guys' hands - basically touch. JJ is trying to wait too long to get deeper into the progression, but the cost is that he's having to throw all heaters, which are both harder to catch and easier to misfire. It's impressive to show all that arm, but you don't want to be making every throw that way.

You can say that about Josh Allen too.   JJ is actually very similar to Josh Allen.   Swings for home runs all the time.    I am sure Harbaugh will help him with that.   Wouldn't shock me to see Harbaugh call his old QB Andrew Luck to come in and mentor JJ a little bit.     

Plus, as far as Michigan receivers being disappointing so far..........they're not really using much of their playbook and all we're seeing is the most vanilla offense possible.  

 

It's so unfair to call things "vanilla".   When someone does Vanilla right it's delicious.

Not a Michigan fan but I was just looking at their schedule and holy **** what an easy schedule this year! They don't play a ranked team until Penn State in November.

My ND squad has Ohio State, Duke and USC in the next 4 weeks. For all you haters LOL

I think Rutgers is going to give Michigan fans an uncomfortable afternoon.   JJ better be better than last week.

Super talented squad that got better by losing Tommy Rees.  I don’t believe in the head coach.   Freeman is great in front of a camera but not ready for this job and what it takes between the lines.

I’ve got just the opposite.  Harbaugh is back and magically both sides become dominant.  UM by 5 TD.

Rutgers scored easily on a 69 yard pass. Defense needs to be better than that. 

[Tigerbomb13]

Pitiful three and out for Michigan. Not prepared so far 

[Motor City Sonics]

Rutgers is kicking M's ass right now. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Okay, Michigan got the 3rd down stop after a couple penalties. 

[Tigerbomb13]

That’s better

Michigan's D-Line is getting schooled today.   They look awful.   

[Motor City Sonics]

Michigan has not looked anything close to a #2 team this year, but I also know that they are playing as vanilla as they can and are not using much of the playbook, so other teams don't get any "tape".     When they go on the road the next two weeks they'll have to open things up, but I knew Rutgers would not be a pushover this year.  Schiano's a great college coach.

they were losing to Rutgers at halftime last year.... and not having Harbaugh for 3 games isnt nothing

[Motor City Sonics]

Boy, that Skyrizi drug sure makes people happy.  

[MIguy]

That's a back breaking turn around right there.

31-7 Michigan early in the 4th

[romad1]

started like poop...finished like champs

If the D Line doesn't pick up the pressure they are still at pretty serious risk of getting torched by a team with strong passing game. The guys in the both kept talking about 'best front 7'. I don't see it. Guys making great individual plays - sure. The line being consistently stout, not so much.

i'm more worried about the oline than the dline.  they dont look as good as last year.

i know hinton's dad is a good friend of harbaugh, but i'm not sure why be's playing so much.

[gehringer_2]

I don't know if Schiano's money was on the spread today, but only his repeated decisions to pass on taking points kept this game from being a lot closer on the scoreboard. He can fairly argue that close was pointless, he was playing for broke as it was the only route to a win and maybe he'd be right. But still, I think most coaches would rather keep the game as close as they can and hope for some kind of lucky break when up a against a superior team. I thought his decision to pass up the FG when it would have made it a one score game and JJ had tossed 3 picks a week earlier was indefensible from any perspective. He deserved for that call to turn into the nail in his team's coffin.

[MIguy]

Wow, what a catch by Wilson.  That's catch of the year type stuff.  Not the best decision by JJ to throw that though. 

[romad1]

Just a brutal thumping

 

[romad1]

this drive...Michigan is just gutting Nebraska. 

[romad1]

Passing TD for Denegal feels a little sad but still sweet.   Did it against the broken Cornhuskers.

[RandyMarsh]

Georgia struggles but wins against a mediocre Auburn team, I'm sure they'll still be number 1 but they probably will lose some 1st place votes to Michigan.
