I am going to the game on Saturday for the start of my 40th year as a Michigan season ticketholder. I am as excited as ever to see the game! Fresno State is a fine team and must not be overlooked. I think we will be in good shape at QB and on offense. I hope both teams play hard and leave the game injury-free. Thanks for your analysis J.D. - good job!
Most people never said that. All they said was, the real football folks, is he’s a game manager. That’s all he had to be most of the time. He did good but it does matter this year bc he was a vet and had tons of starts. Experience matters despite what most ignorant football fans say
@@nicholastaiariol2631 lol omg we don’t point out exceptions fam. You’re right he is and tmi could point out leak and teebow where it worked. There’s others two. All I’m saying is vast majority throughout history is on my side of thinking. I also think Michigan we’ll be okay bc of defense and Oline. Still tho better to struggle earlier naming your guy and roll with it. If it’s that bad then switch and see who’s a gamer. I say this by week 2 bc nothing wrong week 1 with a gimme game bro
@@DTraiN5795BS the entire contry was literally calling him a handoff merchant. The same people saying he couldn’t through and would be a BUST in the NFL are the same people saying michigan is going to be trash simply because of the QB situation
I hate the 2 QB system idea. All that does is take the rhythm away from the starter. Look at 2021 UM vs MSU. McNamara was doing ok, we put McCarthy in and he fumbles. It changed the momentum of the game. I hope Sherrone names a starter and rides with him. I don't want to see the backup unless it's a blowout win or the starter gets injured.
With the limited amount we've seen, I want warren. He looks to clearly have the best arm. If he gets the nod, I'm good with them using orji like they did at the end of last year. Where he comes in for 4 or 5 designed runs or options. They had a lot of success with that, but no more than that.
@@justinschram oh don’t get these fans started with stats about QBs. There’s a reason 95% of more teams name a starter. Also I’m betting Michigan knows their QB too. Most people here aren’t trying to hear facts about football. Vast majority of the time the team also chooses their QB regardless of how close it is. People making this personal instead of an overall notion about the most important position in probably all of sports
@@scottd1903 see that’s also different then switching every series. Having a package or certain yardage packages is like bringin in an extra lineman or wildcat. Which I’m okay with but that’s clearly not what JD was talking about or he should’ve said
@DTraiN5795 I agree. 2 QB systems never work. If orji is really as great of an athlete as we're being told, they need to get creative and find ways to get him the ball (assuming he isn't the QB). Maybe lining up in the backfield or slot occasionally. Or even sending him out wide for a quick WR screen. Best case imo, is that his accuracy has improved dramatically (like 65%+), and he starts. Then they can frequently roll him out, with the LBs and safetys having to respect his legs it'll leave guys open or in man coverage.
"People" were wrong. JJ's predecessor, McNamara, was a game manager. Last year, UM relied on JJ's passing until the run game picked up. And not surprisingly, some "fans" complained at that time about the running game not being like it was in the previous two years.
I believe Orji starts, Warren plays and performs better. Michigan doesn't need help in the run game. Warren being a better passer helps the run game, because the pass game has to be respected. Orji as the QB gives more options in the run game at the same time weakens pass coverage. Why, because his duel threat will require a spy if he proves he can run and or scramble. Who ever starts the #2 should get reps in blowouts and any possible time he can for possible injuries etc....
Having Orji on the field changes the numbers in the box for the Defense to account for. Teams didn't really need to account for J.J. like they will for Alex. The flats in the zones and seam patterns are going to be open all day.
I think I’d start orji and I’d use him just how the bills used josh allen when he first got to the league. heavy run/QB power, and alot of screens and slants to semaj morgan. twice a half you take a deep shot.
Absolutely 💯. They'll run some inverted veer too. Orji, Haskins and Edwards would be nightmare running that stuff. Plan on more passes to Edwards on wheel and Texas routes. Loveland is a big time Mismatch out there. They'll be fine once they get into a rhythm 👍〽️
Ironically, Michigan is essentially going through what Ohio State went through last season. I think Michigan is gonna go opposite of what OSU did, pick mobility over arm and go with Alex Orji. My predictions for Orji: 1700 passing yards; 13-14 Pass TDs; 5-6 INTs; 800-1000 rush yards; 7-8 Rush TDs. Their offense will rely more on the success of Donovan Edwards then Alex Orji.
If they need help running the ball, they have bigger problems than whos starting at QB. However, i dont think they will any issues there. I think edwards steps up big, and mullings is flying under the radar. I don't think it'll be long before people are talking about Michigan's 2 headed monster at RB. With that being said, they need an accurate passer who can convert on third downs and use their legs to extend plays, not tuck and run. To me, it seems like warren is the guy.
Michigan in the Harbaugh era has always subbed in different quarterbacks in most games. I think the most I saw was 7 different qb's in one game. I bet Sherrone is similar.
JP - Mich could likely beat Fresno playing Edwards/Mulling at QB. Does MI have a Championship - Playoff - or 4 loss QB? Is what fans want to know. And - secondarily - is the backup capable of stepping in at the same level?
@@di114n2 Fresno is no benchmark for elite performance. And while it would be odd to play Wildcat or let Edwards throw (pretty good downfield - backwards - well not so much) Pundits caught up with who is going to play - which really only matters to friends and families - not how WELL starter (and backup) can be expected to play. Michigan is excellent to elite at multiple position groups - but this year maybe 6 teams can make that claim - and have an established (if transfer) starter while Michigan has 3-5 unheralded and unproven players battling. To me unless one balls out, and that would be largely unexpected, the Coaches have failed in all three phases - recruiting, developing, then portal - when getting one right is usually enough to at least be very good. Even talking about sleeping on Fresno is a fail - “why isn’t anybody ‘ready’?” Seems the question for the coaches - surely EVERY player from top to bottom will say “put me in Coach, I’m ready to play, today!” But are they! And JP says nothing about THAT!
brand new offensive line guys... probably going to be good. but its fact they are all unproven. fun part is we get to stop speculating in just over 24 hours.
@@Packguitar182 Speculation is Mich 7 points behind OSU OR TX on neutral field. I’d say 4-6 points QB 1-2 points Oline 1-2 points HC OC DC 1-2 in first year. One game should give some guidance. Just expecting good to very good QB - good backup. D TE RB all elite. Rest needs to step it up.
@@Packguitar182 Most of the O-line members have significant in-game experience, although not as starters at UM--so it's a bit misleading to refer to them as "brand new." How good the line becomes depends on how quickly they settle into working as a unit.
Disagree they better figure it out week 1 JD. 2 QBs 80-90% means you have none as of now. Especially when both don’t have any or much experience. Just keeping it real JD bc overall I think they be fine with their defense as long as loss of coaches does change too much
@@jamietwigg5152 no one said anything about that lol go talk to someone else. How old are you? So do you have knowledge of how many times it hasn’t worked near as much as it does. This isn’t even about Michigan or Texas. Also play both in week 1 but easily name a starter by 2 for your own team. The team should choose anyways like they did with JJ. Also I think they know who their QB is anyways. Lol y’all mofos be getting in your feels too much

Classic Schrodinger’s Buckeye - when they simultaneously claim that JJ sucked but also Michigan is screwed without him lol
He made some plays and throws that definitely won games

On3, Your content makes me happy!
You start Orji, if he gets banged up running, you feel good about Warren going in. If reversed, you don’t want to play catch up with orji
Start whoever is gonna give you the best chance of winning, period
I agree with this take on Michigan. Good vid.
