LB, and I say that as someone optimistic that Bowles, NOB, Taylor, Staehling all have potential to be really good. But the coaches have been pretty candid about their depth concern here. Secondary potentially gets rough with a couple of injuries.*

Back to the board

Thread:

First McQ&A on the new board?* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 06:52:22 PM
- Who is the backup C to Guarnera? Beside Bryce, is Jake the most important guy to keep healthy? Also, who is the long-snapper?* - By jim4blue August 4, 2026 at 08:46:21 PM
- Did I miss the announcement of what your post-Rivals future entails?* - By Voltron Blue August 4, 2026 at 07:20:12 PM
  - No. I wanted to have the site ready by August 1 for fall camp, but that didn't happen. I will be on at least one podcast this week, and, breaking news, Nikos and I are bringing back The Victors Weekly. Those shows will tell you where I'm headed.* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:24:18 PM
    - great to hear the podcast is coming back. are you worried that Nikos will replace you with a vibe coded chatbot? ** - By Mark August 4, 2026 at 07:33:53 PM
      - I hope he does.* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:35:26 PM
    - Good stuff, thanks. Looking forward that. And on a related note, do we need likes for posts on this here new board?* - By Voltron Blue August 4, 2026 at 07:25:31 PM
    - Thank you for asking!* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:24:35 PM
- How intact is the sub (rumors/leaks) vs. Harbaugh era?* - By LewisBullox August 4, 2026 at 07:12:53 PM
  - It's funny, when Whitt was hired, a lot of Utah fans were like, "Get ready for complete coach speak and secrecy." And I'm like, man this is the most candid offseason I can remember. - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:17:32 PM
- Is Michigan undefeated going into the IU game?* - By LSandPlay August 4, 2026 at 07:12:53 PM
  - Yes.& - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:17:58 PM
- It feels like there's a bigger social media/YouTube presence than in the past. If that's not just my imagination, is that driven by Whitt, the AD, collectives, other (e.g., indirect Dusty influence)?* - By Jason August 4, 2026 at 07:10:35 PM
  - I agree, but I don't have an answer. I have the perfect person to ask though.* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:15:26 PM
- Do you expect Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi to end up as QB2?* - By michjd August 4, 2026 at 07:09:25 PM
  - I have since he joined, but I will say public and private comments in the last week or two, I'd bet on Carr today.* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:10:18 PM
    - Interesting. Follow up question (m) - By michjd August 4, 2026 at 07:14:00 PM
      - I'm sorry this is a cop out, but it is both. - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:19:44 PM
- any feel for how we will handle pass blocking this year... - By Mark August 4, 2026 at 07:09:01 PM
  - I just have a hard time thinking it won't be much better between strength gains, Harding, players gaining another year of experience, healthy Babalola. Not sure if anyone saw Blake Frazier's body change since January (embed) - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:12:46 PM
    - What’s he weighing now?* - By ameriKa August 4, 2026 at 07:18:25 PM
      - Roster update didn't include weights, but I've been told 310-315.* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:20:05 PM
        
        👍* - By ameriKa August 4, 2026 at 07:21:45 PM
- Biggest position of worry? * - By Spirit August 4, 2026 at 07:03:51 PM

- Backup DL? Any buzz?*** - By Craig August 4, 2026 at 06:55:38 PM
  - I'd say Palepale and Kanka are getting buzz. I really like Travis Moten too.* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:02:44 PM
    - Hell, yeah (nm) - By danny August 4, 2026 at 07:06:29 PM
- What's the deal with Tatum? Leaving the baseball team too? (nm) - By suede August 4, 2026 at 06:55:07 PM
  - I always thought he would join the baseball team in the spring and then be done with football, guess he's just done now. I believe plan is still for him to play baseball. That was preference back in high school too honestly. I remember talking to him and thinking that.* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:00:34 PM
- What's the scoop on the WRs?* - By Bluebuck August 4, 2026 at 06:54:47 PM
  - Marsh is clear WR1, JJ is clear WR2. Depending on formation Ffrench, Moa, Johnson, and Goodwin could all play. Obviously some movement can happen in fall camp, but the freshmen are going to play.* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 06:56:50 PM
    - Any word on Ffrench learning to spell his name right? Almost as bad as Cheesemonger Pete.* - By jjwalker August 4, 2026 at 07:06:47 PM
      - I'd like to take away an F, and also give Savion and extra T.* - By gbmcq August 4, 2026 at 07:09:24 PM
