Posted October 20, 2024Oct 20 VanSumeren Worked in nicely today hopefully they use that in the future! He played 2 games as a freshman at fb for Michigan before switching to rb the next year and then lb and ending his sr year at Michigan state

Barkley was obviously great before he got here but now that he has a taste of some winning he's taking it to even another level. He's running like an absolute animal out there.

BVS was terrific as a blocker as well in the few plays he was out there. This team's strength is running the football. Keep doing it!

Especially since modern defenses are consistently being built lighter and quicker to stop the pass. A power run game in any form is turning into an effective unicorn these days. Keep doing it.
October 21, 2024Oct 21 Baldinger pointed out that it's a good use of the roster. I agree. No need for a Jon Richie or Leonard Weaver type to take a roster spot when a backup LB can do other things.
October 21, 2024Oct 21 This is the way going forward. Make Jalen involved the least amount as possible.

No need for a Jon Richie or Leonard Weaver type to take a roster spot when a backup LB can do other things. The only issue with it so far is that when BVS is in, it's a run. So it's a bit of a tell. Maybe they'll add some wrinkles for that reason.
October 24, 2024Oct 24 FB has been a fading position in NFL. Only a handful of teams keep one. BVS's chance to fill that role could due to the injuries along the OL and the TE position. He could provide that extra blocking for opening and/or picking the incoming rushers. Glad that it worked last game. The coaches may keep that going for now. When the injured players come back, then we shall know how committed they are to keep the FB roles going forward.

Trends have a way of circling back. This was the offseason of the RB. We have seen what a difference a star RB can make for a team.
October 25, 2024Oct 25 It’s not exactly reinventing the forward pass or the west coast offense, but they could be onto something with a 2 way backup LB who functions as a FB. FB has been phased out for a reason. But it’s a nice look to show when teams think you don’t have a FB on the roster.

October 27, 2024Oct 27 I hope we actually continue to use him, even add in a wrinkle and use him in the screen game. Moore could have unlocked a new play, let's see if he's smart enough to continue to use it
October 28, 2024Oct 28 Used again this week. A lot of his plays led to successful runs as well. I like players who are willing to do whatever it takes to win. I feel like VanSumeren is going to become a fan favorite around here.
