The announcers blaming this on UM is hilarious…meanwhile Day is just standing there doing nothing.

The announcer was saying it's very disrespectful for the road team to plant a flag at the 50 yard line after they won.

I mean, is it?  I've seen it several times over the years.  I don't feel it's a big deal.

Would I like it if I was an Ohio St fan, no, of course not.  But play better and don't let them win, especially if you're a 20 point favorite. 

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned much about tomorrow’s game is Slay being out. I know he was getting picked on a little in the Rams game before he went out but when Rodgers came in he was getting picked on even more. Maybe with a week of preparation as the starter he will be better?

He is a much better run defender than Slay, so it might actually help us. 

Misses the Eagles game

 

Wow they cut Forbes already. One year after being their first round pick.

So Illinois beat Michigan, who just beat the #2 team in the country. By my calculations, OSU should drop to say, #13, and Illinois moves up to #12. Right?

Big break. Easier for us to run.

Slay is washed, better off letting the young corners play

Their WR shouldn't be taken for granted, but they aren't on the level of the Rams with a dynamic play caller. I think he'll be fine. I'm sure part of it was covering good WR, but there were also a lot of responsibilities because of their system. Hard game to get thrown into.

The Ravens TE getting free because our LB are worried about LJ running or helping defend the run worry me more than anything. 

If Davis shows up and has a good game it will make everything easier. He needs to wreck their run game. If he can't even do that then he can't leave fast enough for me in March.

Paris Campbell elevation more about Johnny Wilson being out or could it be because Smitty isn’t playing?

Ohio state will still get in

Only healthy WRs on the roster: AJ, Covey, Dotson, Ainias Smith. Need a #5 WR just in case, but that's a bad sign for Devonta.

Rats.

Helps playing next to Carter, but I really like Williams and think he will be hard to replace. 

They are very complementary when taking snaps together.  The Offense can’t double team them both without leaving the edges vulnerable.

Wasn’t he the worst graded player on defence in the rams game ?

Nolan Smith and Nakobe Dean are gonna be keys in the rush game; Smith on broken plays, Dean on those timed rushes.

I suspect Dean will also be the spy, the way he was in the Washington game.

Probably Smith. Wilsons role and replacing it shouldn’t dictate a roster move

Those Ohio DEs were pretty much irrelevant except for the horrid INT by Warren. 

Don't want to hear about those bums again on this forum 

Well the one did start the fight.

I don’t think he played much. He was hurt on the opening drive and then had a concussion. 

I’m surprised they already cut Emmanuel Forbes but the pick never made sense to begin with, so it’s not much of a shock.

The Michigan kids aren’t without blame…walking through the crowd with the flag again wasn’t a good idea, but at some point the coach needs to stop just staring into oblivion and tell his team to lose with dignity.  Huge stain on Day for doing nothing.  Not to mention an Ohio players tossed a ref in the first tussle early in the game.

Rodger’s was fine.  There was one play that looked bad on his part, when in reality Baun dropping in coverage in his face got in the way of Rodger’s getting underneath leverage.  Stafford made a few ridiculous throws too.

This should be the plan, Dean has been getting better in space, but he’s best coming downhill.

Somebody had to be the worst…there should be little to no complaints about the D in that game.
