Every staff has its own personnel preferences, but I don't get why Zach Marshall barely played

Seems obvious we ran so much rhino because the staff is down on the TE room (the only position group that was consistently talked down in fall camp). Except Marshall was pretty solid last year. His blocking improved after a shaky start into a real strength, and he is at least competent at running routes and catching the ball.

Hoffman had a terrible game vs WMU but he was good last year as a blocker. It doesn't quite add up to me.

- Yeah, we were functionally without a TE for that game, which is . . . really different from what it's been for the last million years at Michigan (nm) - By danny September 11, 2026 at 02:30:26 PM
- This is what has me worried about Beck. I fear he doesn't run a normal offense and only has this gimmicky run based heavy package as a focus. - By Rich September 11, 2026 at 02:04:27 PM
  - It's never the OC imo (always the HC) but I'm really fucking tired of hearing "grab bag offense" - By Daytripper September 11, 2026 at 02:08:59 PM
