Mailbag Question:


Hi guys,

What do you guys think about Sheridan. It seems like he has played himself down the roster. He seems lost out there and the offense seems to self-destruct. Do not know if it is a lack of leadership or lack of trust the other players have in him, or what. I really do not see how Feagin or the other guys could do any worse. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the question. We have great respect for Nick Sheridan here. Any player who walks on and earns playing time has the heart and fire every program needs. We also respect that Nick Sheridan loves Michigan and absolutely bleeds maize and blue. We will never question Sheridan's heart or effort.

We have been very consistent with what we thought about Sheridan as the Michigan quarterback. We maintain that Sheridan just does not have major college talent or arm. We tried to warn people of this, but they did not believe us or called us haters for our comments. We were especially villified when it came out that he would start agianst Utah and we stated that we believed there was a better chance to win with Threet. We do not understand what Coach Rod saw in Sherdian. We did not see the same things.

Sheridan’s inability to hit key passes definitely hinders the offense. It is obvious to us that opponents realize this and load the box when Nick comes into the game. This makes it almost impossible to move the ball with any consistency. That has to work on team’s confidence.

As for Feagin, it is tough for us to evaluate or guess what is going on with him. We have a hard time believing that if Feagin is capable of leading Michigan better than Threet or Sheridan, that he would not be playing. Regardless what people believe or think about Coach Rod, he is very proud man and hates to lose. It also becomes a decision as to whether you waste a kid's eligibility for a year when not much of the season is left. Feagin does not know the playbook that well and he has not gotten a lot of reps this year, especially recently.
