DawgByte haws1178 There has been a lot of chatter suggesting that Ramsey has been the best at moving the team. INTs are only one part of the equation. Just heard a quote from Jimbo Fisher saying that he has always preferred a QB that you have to reel in than one who is too cautious. He’s also said he never tells his QBs to “protect the ball” because it sends the wrong message. He tells his QBs to “be smart with the football”. Same phrase I used when I coached fastpitch and still use when I teach hitting.
Boiled takes about 4 hrs to boil 25lbs
haws1178 Do you prefer your peanuts roasted or boiled Haws?
My shopping list will be easy 2 cases of beer and 25lbs of peanuts
My father in law would say that’s a Green Bay waffle. Kind of like my red Green Bay cap…smh
MMCSDAWG DawgByte Plus, it looks like this big man is coming on strong in fall practice and will provide solid depth at DL.

This isn’t an exact comparison because the recent image of Eason is a longer throw than the throw from Eason from the Elite 11. There’s always going to be more tilt on longer throws than shorter throws. However I’ve seen enough recent shorter throws from Eason to make me think his shoulder tilt has improved on all throws. I’ve been quiet on Eason because I’ve always felt his lack of shoulder tilt would cause issues. If his shoulder tilt is indeed improving, it has to mean he is throwing the ball better. His accuracy may be off slightly as he’s adjusting, but it could just as easily be a case where the change is so gradual that he’s just showing steady gradual improvement with any falloff. If he keeps on this path, it’s going to be hard to keep him off the field IMO.

DawgByte haws1178 What stats though? We haven’t been getting any “official” stats from the coaching staff. We have gotten observations from third parties on how QBs have done, but nothing that is concrete or that can be confirmed and verified.
What the media sees in warm-ups and drills before practice and scrimmage is not telling either.
The only people that know how the QB race is going are the coaching staff and the quarterbacks.
The rest of us are making educated guesses at best.
Bulldawg Bob2 I’m hoping McKenzie can fine tune the receiving skills that Switzer has learned. If he does, he’ll be a valuable tool in our receiving corps. I know Chaney’s pushing him to do that, so we’ll see.
RobDawg I’ve been out of the loop for the last few weeks. Been crazy busy with work. Whats the current word with Sony? He looking like he may be a go for game one? I know a friend that talked with him about a month ago when he ran into him downtown and he made it sound like he wouldn’t be able to be back for game 1. Obviously things may have changed a good bit since then though.
Don’t like
DawgByte And from what I’ve garnered, the 6-5 kid is the youngest and a new starter. There experienced DL are 6-2 to 6-3. They are also starting 2 new OL that have had zero experience. I would think provided we are healthy we can win the LOS against UNC. If our DB’s can cover in space a little better, we should be able to put a ton of pressure on Mr. Trubinsky!
freddawg Aye. I just wanted to post the vid for folks who haven’t seen him play and maybe didn’t know what we were talking about.
You make a good point on the competition.
When all is said and done, Michigan can not hide those rough winters and a lot of great sons of the south don’t want none of it
Close does not give me any confidence. Are they close because they are all good or are they close because they are all crappy. Or somewhere in between……I want a clear cut leader and I want him now…####
Yesterday I checked out UNC’s defensive line roster and their biggest interior DL is 6’5″ 315 lbs., they rest are in the 6’2″ – 6’4″ and between 280 – 295 lbs. I think we should be able to control the line of scrimmage on the Tarheels and win the battle of the clock.

freddawg Bulldawg36 lol
haws1178 Dawg Shine will be flowing well before kick-off!
Bulldawg Bob2 bahits PTCDawg That and I think people are starting to realize that Harbaugh has two screws loose and is short three Aces from his deck.

I’ll have the last part regardless who starts and probably multiple before that. It’s a full blown celebration of the start of Dawg football
Wish we would go hard at otre smith.. I like that kids game a lot
haws1178 You’re missing the INT stats in fall practice and scrimmages. That’s why he’s not included in the conversation. He just can’t seem to get over the mental hump.
No doubt
Nico Collins and holloman would be a great haul at wr.. Paired with Blount and the kid from Florida… Webb also being a possibility… Great group
I agree 100% we have to develop a rhythm with the receivers. I think that’s the very thing that hurt us last year
Greg Poole I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that Lambert is the best option to start against UNC. There is enough chatter floating around to make me believe that Lambert is performing behind the other two. When I watch last year’s Pitt’s offense against UNC, I just don’t see how Lambert makes some of the throws that Peterman made; and I don’t consider him a great QB. It looks to me that the Pitt receivers were coached to find soft spots in the defense rather than run very specific routes. IOW, the receivers looked to have some freedom to vary their routes slightly. Have to have a QB who is decisive and has a quick release in that type system.
If Lambert starts, I’ll have an adult beverage at the ready, because I have a hard time watching him play.
Yeah punter
Bulldawg Bob2 I’m not saying he’s no good, Bob, but he’s not a gamechanger as a WR IMO. His speed is decent, ran track for several years in HS and had a PR of about 11.2. But he’s not as quick or as fast as IMac, IMO, and I’d rather have IMac as a PR. Now as a pass catcher I’d say Switzer’s definitely shown better hands than McKenzie, so no debate there. But still, Switzer got nearly half his 700 receiving yards last year against Pittsburgh, Duke and Delaware. I just don’t fear many small receivers unless they are really dangerous.
Greg Poole Handing the ball off 35-45 times a game is NOT going to prepare our team to beat UTk, Ole Miss or UF. We might be able to beat UNC that way, but we will not be able to win the SEC east doing that and it will do absolutely nothing to develop our young WR corp. No matter who is our starter in game #1 I sincerely hope to see a versatile and multi level attack from our new offensive staff and players. I believe we will, I believe Kirby knows we might need to score 30+ points to beat UNC depending on our defensive front 7, so again, no matter who starts, I want to see an offense that does more than hand the ball off.
Yes we are and you can’t lie to us we can tell####lol
I appreciate the insight if Lambert is indeed the starter I hope it’s because he has improved and not because the other 2 are worse
I will support whoever they decided to start and you’re right it won’t be long now
MMCSDAWG Jeez, we body language experts now. I don’t know about that level of reporting.
haws1178 I can’t quote the info that Radi and some others have passed along from practice reports and stuff over on Rivals as it’s behind the pay wall, but, I will say that Ramsey appears to be enjoying the QB competition much more than Lambert is… Body language was referred to on more than one occasion and let’s just say, Ramsey is showing positive body language. He might not win the starting job, but there is a definite role for him on this team!
haws1178 Smart has continued to say that the 3 QBs are “close”. One thing is sure, we will know how it shakes out in a little over a week.
I am surprised at the way most people are just writing Ramsey off based off hunch or last year’s or the year before that’s performance. Unless I’ve missed something he should be right there in the running
We continue to the logic that Georgia will go with Lambert and rely on the running game to beat UNC. To me that is counter-intuitive. If The QB will primarily hand the ball to running back against the Tarheel, would that not mean that a freshman is LESS of a liability?
https://www.dawgnation.com/football/opinion/eason-will-be-georgias-best-qb-but-that-doesnt-mean-hes-best-now
Yeah come to think of it someone from Lee County who grew up in close proximity to all the good middle Ga BBQ and near Big Pig Jig locale would have laughed at them I bet
Know thy enemy
Tarheel senior WR and return specialists Ryan Switzer

IMO…why I feel really good about us winning the East this year…is because of the schedules. I think we could lose to Tenn and still win the East . I dont think Tenn will win the East if they lose to us. Same with Fla.
I reject the idea that we aren’t likely to win the East due to any perceived weaknesses on our part. If you have 59 issues and the other guy has 60, you are good to go. All that matters is whether you are better than the other guy on a given day.
Looking at the schedules, I think we have more Saturdays where we are better than the other guy, than the other guys have.
Let’s do this!
bahits Bulldawg Bob2 PTCDawg The “shine” is wearing off those Michigan satellite camps that prospects visited. They’ve had time to think things over and for mom and dad and friends and families along with other schools and coaches to get them to think about things.
Hahah I read your mind
And by the way this is defined as a BBQ up north…
RobDawg BBQ and Michigan shouldn’t even be in the same sentence.
freddawg MMCSDAWG Switzer is every bit as good of a returner on special teams as McKenzie and he maybe a better receiver.
But Switzer is not UNC’s only good returning WR. The Tarheels do have two big and experienced receivers on the outside: senior WR, Mack Hollins who is 6-4 and around 215 lbs along with senior Bug Howard who is 6 foot 5 and 215 lbs.
They also have a pretty good sophomore TE who is 6-4 and 250 lbs – Brandon Fritts
Let’s advertise a BBQ in Michigan and try this a second time
Bulldawg Bob2 PTCDawg Michigan is having a lot of problems. I wouldn’t put them in anyone’s top 3 right now.
