"There's never anybody walking around in downtown St. Louis. Remember the old neutron bomb that wouldn't knock down buildings but just would eliminate all the people? It's like one of those hit St. Louis" – Gary Cohen
Michigan OC Jason Beck recently highlighted his offensive philosophy and how he plans to operate the offense in Ann Arbor. Here are the notes:
▪️Offensive personnel (12, 11, 10 personnel) will be dictated by the players on the roster and what gives the team the best chance to score and win
▪️Everything starts with the quarterback. Identify what the QB does well, build the offense around his strengths and talents. Expecting a big jump from Underwood in year 2.
▪️Scheme must match what the O-line can block at a high level. No point in calling plays the line can’t execute
▪️Mold the offense around the collective strengths of the QB, O-line, and skill guys
▪️Early phase involves installing base concepts
▪️Evaluate who is emerging, identify what players do best, and gradually tailor the offense to those strengths
▪️Offensive identity must start with physicality and the run game. Ability to run the ball is non-negotiable. Out-rushing opponents significantly increases chances of winning
▪️Balance is essential. Offense must be able to throw the ball and attack teams dynamically. Run/pass emphasis can ebb and flow year to year based on personnel
▪️Ideal offense is physical, balanced, and efficient in both phases

@CarlPaulus@rogcastbaseball It’s the same mentality that plagued the fanbase when Doug Fister was traded years ago. The fanbase doesn’t really know the market and never will but is convinced there’s a mythical trade that is low cost, high return, and no downsides. That’s never the case at all.
@TheCatholicEngr We did favors. Small, hand painted Mexican bowls. Perfect for candy or paperclips or whatever. My wife found a deal on Etsy and got a bunch of them.
