I don't like all the qb spying and 4th & 17 cost us a divisional game smh but I think the defense, young secondary in particular, will keep getting better as the season progresses and baker trusts them to play more man 2 man.

Unbelievable! Lol if Donaldson is dumb enough to enter the draft this year then I’m not surprised why he has been and this is putting kindly severely underwhelming here. Because if he’s stupid enough to enter the draft afte the **** performance so far he’s put on for his junior season then he clearly isn’t smart enough to understand his correct blocking concepts/responsibilities. I mean what the **** is wrong with this kids, has no one informed them they have another year of eligibility to mature, improve and up their draft stock! I mean how many cautionary tales of juniors entering the draft and going undrafted at UM is it going to take to wake this kids up. **** no wonder we’re always a “young” team. Smh

Donaldson needs to look in the mirror, like literally look in the mirror at his physique, and review his film with somebody who knows what they are talking about outside UM. If he is really serious about the next level, he needs to dedicate himself to a proper nutrition plan and studying his craft for a year and try to improve his stock. He can definitely make drastic improvements in every single phase if he dedicates himself. Not sure he has the will or desire to do either though

And Cleveland Reed would probably step in and start at OG if he would just be patient and wait his turn
 
Seems to me Harris understands how hard it is to run an offense with 2 true freshman starters and a 1st year starting center that is a RS SO. Donaldson is the only starter that should be out there. I honestly think Diaz and Enos are planning for the future with the current line. People want to talk about scheming around deficiencies but don't want to admit that requires intelligence from your line. A young, physically immature line is also a mentally immature line.

If there are any line gurus out there that can take the time to explain to me, and the board, how you can make up for a physically immature line by simplifying your o line protections so they don't have to make as many calls, please enlighten us. It doesn't really seem possible to me. The obvious way to make up for talent deficiencies is to play smarter but, we simply can't do that with our very young o line. We have repeatedly seen our young guys blowing assignments or looking slow on tape, maybe thinking too much? Possibly because Enos is doing all he can to try and make it easier for them. I know there's been some film of some pass protection pulls that weren't ideally designed and some playcalling that seems to ignore the fact we have trouble protecting (PA from under center) but I feel for the most part the o line scheme has been decent.

I believe Harris understands this having played the position at the highest levels and therefore feels like we aren't suffering from inept coaches as much as extreme youth.

In a nutshell, Harris thinks the coaches are doing well.

"I love what Baker is doing."

"It's going to be a roller coaster ride because the team is so young."

Yeah, no.

I have news for Manuelito. Donaldson isn't ready for the NFL! And like Manny GORDO Navarro. Donaldson is over weight which hurts on the field more than a few plays, here or there.
