Michigan Football Tidbits: Practice Report

Everyone who has witnessed practices has to be impressed with the intensity. While it is my opinion that Coach Rod was not overly excited about practice on Saturda,y the amount of "flare ups" or "rants" by Coach Rod, or anybody on coaching staff, has been limited if not non-existent. It just seems like the coaches are much more confident and comfortable this year.

Linebacker switch: Fitzgerald played more outside linebacker and Ezeh more inside on Saturday.

Feagin was somewhat effective at quarterback, but he did not throw any passes.

It looks as though Michigan's meetings with Oklahoma over the off-season has caused at least some adjustments in practices. Gone is the willingness or tendency of the quarterback's to throw the famous swing passes. The quarterbacks, especially Forcier, are being hounded to throw the ball to the tight end or wide receivers even when, at times, it seemed like they were forcing the ball. This is good news.

If the season started today, we think its either Matthews or T-rob for punt returner. Odoms is still a possiblility, but he seems to not be the first choice.

When the defensive line played a four-man front Patterson was with the first team at defensive tackle, then he also backed up at defensive end. Maybe this is the year.
