A lot of them are coming to the realization that 8-4 would be a "successful" season, it seems.

Sam Webb still kind of blaming COVID for their hilarious bad 2020, though he shockingly comes around and admits "there was enough bad to where you cant blame it all on opt outs/injuries/covid"

Then there's this.



Wisconsin is their "new OSU"?

I feel like they are drastically underestimating Harbaugh’s proven ability to completely fuck up his QB room.
  • Still expecting McNamara to start, but McCarthy has the higher ceiling and could challenge midway through the season. No mention of Bowman

To not even address Bowman? That feels completely incompetent/purposely negligent. Two very real options are—Bowman starts, McNamara transfers/checks out because he was promised the starting job, Bowman gets hurt, McCarthy gets throw to the wolves and has his confidence/development destroyed forever... or, McNamara starts, Bowman gets pissed because he was promised the starting job and completely checks out or transfers (if that’s an option), McNamara gets hurt, McCarthy gets throw to the wolves and has his confidence/development destroyed forever.

After last season? Anything is possible for the QB whisperer/Aspergers haver to completely botch being able to properly balance this relatively sensitive QB situation.
  • Cornelius Johnson is the pick to step up and be a game changer at the WR position. Henning and Wilson should add a different dimension as well. WRs should be experienced and dependable

Based on what?? I’m not going to put together the exact stats, but the entire group has to have less receptions than Olave or Wilson individually... guaranteed less without Ronnie Bell.
  • Expecting big things from Zak Zinter up front. Hayes drew a mention and Trente Jones was mentioned as a riser with the coaching change. Sam indicated the change to Moore had to do with how unprepared the young OL were last year

This makes me laugh. Really looking forward to the OL play this year since last year was definitely all Warriner’s fault. :lol:
  • NT is a huge question mark. Expecting Mazi Smith to take over with Jordan Whittley backing him up. Whittley might be too big, Smith maybe not big enough
Click to expand...
I forget, is a NT important in a 3-4? I’m sure it will be fine.
  • A pass rusher has to emerge other than Hutchinson or he will get keyed on
Click to expand...
Yeah, teams might be able to neutralize the guy with 3.5 sacks in three seasons if someone else doesn’t emerge.
  • More confidence in the secondary than you might expect because of Dax. If corner is an issue, we could move Dax to corner and fill in ably at safety

This seems particularly delusional given...everything about everything... but mostly their safeties and corners sucking mightily... but I’m sure one guy can fix that and the position they have struggled mightily at will be fine with the backups.
  • Overall, the Vegas line of 8-4 seems reasonable and didn't receive push back. The key to Harbaugh maintaining his position will be the how: can't get blown out or get upset. But Sam doesn't think they will make a change next year based on Harbaugh's off-season comments

Losing to every team on the schedule with a pulse is the expectation... not getting embarrassed is exceeding expectations. Wonderful.

Yea they for some reason think WR & RB are set up to be positions of great strength

They have exactly 1 WR who has ever done anything. Ronnie Bell. Who would be the #3 WR tops on most good teams. (more like the 5th option on a Ohio State/Bama/Clemson team)

RB room is a injury away from complete panic mode. They have 1 guy who is ok (Haskins), Corum who was terrible last year and a true frosh who didnt really move any meters during spring as far as one can tell.

All of this matched with a questionable QB situation and equally questionable Oline. Not a good formula.

Propping up Hutchinson as some elite pass rusher is peak D in DFBIA. It's going to be hilarious when they try to stand him up at OLB in a 3-4. The defense was going to be a circus this year BEFORE they decided to go and switch schemes to one that they aren't even halfway equipped to run.

I really don't think there is a game on their schedule you can mark as a "sure" win outside of Northern Illinois, who was a winless MAC team in 2020

Nebraska and Maryland are pretty bad/mediocre but how things look on paper I wouldn't put it past scUM to lose to 1 of them. I guess Rutgers is still Rutgers, but they needed 3 OT to beat them last year. Has much changed to expect the result to not be similar? I dont think so.

Buckeye Scoop Ohio State vs. Michigan 2021 Tale of the Tape Podcast

Compares the Buckeyes and Michigan by position group and head coach:

QB: Ohio State
RB: Ohio State
WR: Ohio State
TE: Ohio State
OL: Ohio State
DL: Ohio State
LB: Ohio State
DB: Ohio State
ST: Michigan
HC: Ohio State

Some interesting quotes about recruiting (beginning around 43:30 mark):

TOM ORR: "If [Michigan's 2022 recruits] are not all extremely underrated guys - they're just smarter than everyone else - then we're having this same [talent gap] conversation for several more years now. This is not a hole that Michigan's going to dig out of real quickly. This is something that's a long-term process."

TONY GERDEMAN: "Michigan's problem has been the bottom-heavy [recruiting class] that doesn't get developed, then sometimes those guys have to play ... you can't rely on the #800 player, four of those guys in a class, now you do that over three or four years and you've got twelve of those guys and eventually you're going to have to rely on them ... while Ohio State is figuring out which 5-star guy [to play]."

Regarding which Michigan players would start at Ohio State: safety Dax Hill, punter Brad Robbins, maybe DL Aidan Hutchinson (probably not a starter but would be in the rotation) ... and that's it.
