I will share with you some of my random thoughts for Spring Practice:
- Mike Shaw will be limited with a broken hand. I have/had high hopes from Mike but he keeps getting injured which will be difficult to make an impact with the new coaches.
- Mike Cox is rumored to be one of the best athletes on the team. It's time to show that to the new coaches. My hope is he will be a pleasant surprise.
- LB Marell Evans is back at Michigan after transferring to Hampton. I wonder what the plan is for Evans? Is he a candidate to start?
- Still concerned about defensive injuries: Demens will be limited due to a shoulder surgery, Woolfolk and Floyd will probably not participate. We need all 3 in the fall but would have loved them to be ready to play this spring.
- Big Will Campbell is in the same boat as Mike Cox. Time to get coached up and be a difference maker big fella!
- I'm not really too concerned about Denard and the new offense. I think he will pick it up quickly and have a plenty of time this summer to develop his QB passing skills.
- Defense, Defense, Defense. I wouldn't mind if Coach Mattison spent all spring on fundamentals.
- I don't care about countdown clocks. If your not hyped up and ready to play Michigan State and Ohio State then your in the wrong program.
- Kevin Koger could have a huge year next year in this offense, he needs to step up and be a difference this Spring. Catch the ball and be a leader!
- I'm not a big fan of helmet stickers, I think it ruins the best helmet in college football.
- Find someone to kick field goals! Anyone!
My goals for Spring Practice:
- Fix the defense as much as possible
- Find a running back
- Secure a starting DL rotation
- Don't go crazy installing a new offense. Install the new and keep some of the old.
- Lots of snaps for Devin
- Find a way for special teams to make a difference in the game
- Make up for lost time in recruiting the 2012 class
- Don't get hurt - no serious injuries.
