PC 9-26. Fleeks to RB
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
-Heinrich Haarberg was FULL GO today. No restrictions -Jeff Sims had a good practice, him and HH are splitting reps. Still not 100% by any means -HH brings a more physical run game than Jeff -Josh Fleeks is transitioning from WR to RB - "Today he looked pretty dang good" -"I don't care about stats", cares about WINNING -Need to develop the passing game -The defense allows the offense to relax and find a groove -Heinrich Haarberg "needs to get in shape", he's hyperventilating after big runs -Ron Brown has taken the staff under his wing learning the option -Anthony Grant is still being challenged with ball security -Michigan is coached up very very very well -OL tackles their deficiencies every day -Tommi Hill is super smart, learns the plays very quick -FB Lindenmeyer is growing and gaining confidence, freeing him up
I guess Fleeks coming in overweight was just for him to switch to rb lol. He still looks way to skinny for rb.
Our receiver room needs just as much help as at RB. Not a fan of this move.
I don't mind it
we're committed to running the football
you know, like everyone here has been begging for since 2002
He wasn't doing anything at WR, maybe he can help at RB.
will fleeks have to put back on his 25 lbs of fat?
Not from a numbers standpoint.
I'm shocked he's not happy with something
Embracing the option, savage practice sessions, stingy run D. Sounds more Scarlet and Cream to me.
Forget 4 games...why isn't he in shape after summer and fall workouts?
it was a joke
everyone on Earth breathes hard after sprinting 70+ yards to the endzone or totaling 250 rushing yards in just over 3 quarters
Probably didn't anticipate having to make a couple 75 yard runs to keep NU in games.
Perhaps a joke, but based on reality. I noticed the same thing in each of the last 2 games, and not only after 70-yard runs.
I start breathing hard when I get off the couch to grab a beer. 😂
I thought I read where Rhule said there is nothing Fleeks can't do on the football field.
Crouch won a Heisman and he rarely pitched the ball.
This. I got the feeling the only way HH was handing the ball to #21 was if they took HH's family hostage and would only release them with a carry by Emmett Johnson. Any other person taken hostage and Satterfield probably let's them die.
So maybe they have enough confidence on Fleeks to actually give him a carry. He wasn't doing anything as a backup receiver. The starting receivers barely get thrown the ball let alone the backups.
The question is whether the staff is going to flesh this option approach out, or just use it as a crutch (that has been wildly successful) on the way to getting more of their playbook in the mix.
Rob Zatechka said in reference to Satterfield on his podcast "at least he's not Ferentz."
I love it. It forces the opposition to spend some time practicing to defend the option.
