Picture Pages: Multiple Flood
My Irrational Gametime Borges Emotion Meter flipped from disgusted to enthralled back to disgusted on a series of three plays on Michigan's second drive. The first play was the second and twelve play action on which an unimpressed defensive end flew upfield and sacked Robinson without giving any thought to the tailback supposedly getting the ball. Running second and twelve play action from a big I-Form set makes Homer crazy.
It got better. On the next play, Borges rolled the pocket and flooded the roll side. Via BWS:
This is another way to high-low the corner, something this series has discussed in the context of curl-flat routes against UConn and Notre Dame. In this instance the flood worked for a big-time completion as Roundtree beat the safety to the corner route and the cornerback sucked up on the Hemingway deep out.
Grady at the 20. Hemingway at the 35 with the cover-two corner. Roundtree at the 45 beating the safety to the outside.
On the next play Borges did the exact same thing, but he did it completely differently. He flooded a zoning cornerback and high-lowed him for a big gain. It was the same guy. He'd just gotten beaten over the top and sank back into the deep route, leaving the intermediate guy wide open. Gardner ignored the blitheringly wide open guy, instead chucking a terrible interception. Live this flipped me back to disgusted mode, and this lasted long enough for me to complain about two-man routes on the podcast. I was wrong. Borges engaged a decided schematic advantage here only to see a freshman (-ish) quarterback derp it.
Michigan comes out in a Gardner formation with Robinson as the slot receiver.
Now for something completely the same
Before the snap they motion Hemingway tighter to the line. The cornerback's reaction and the two deep safeties imply another zone.
On the snap they fake a handoff and then fake the end around. The coverage is revealed to be Not Cover 2. Both corners are headed deep and one safety steps up into a robber zone in the middle. This is cover three:
robber in red, three-deep in blue
Gallon is running straight downfield and will take both the corner and the topmost safety with him—Hemingway cuts his route off and he has no other vertical threats and can double. The two linebackers you see have their eyes in the backfield, preparing for an end-around. By the time it's certain Gardner has the ball Hemingway is ten yards downfield, running hard, with inside position on the robber. The linebackers are done.
Now it's a little bit of a problem that Gardner took his eyes off the defense for a long time as he executed both handoff fakes, but he is literally eight yards from the nearest defender as he sets up. He has plenty of time to read the corner Michigan is trying to high-low.
doo dee doo dee doo
You can see the playside LB heading out for Robinson's wheel route, which doesn't seem like a real option but still demands attention. There's no one checking Hemingway except that robber, who is improvising in the time-honored tradition of anyone who sees something going very wrong and runs at the red button screaming "oh shiiiiiiiiii—."
Gardner loads up and fires…
…over the head of a wide open Hemingway hanging out 20 yards downfield…
…to the bracketed Gallon…
…and throws it way short to add interception to injury. Derp.
Items of Interest
This is the same passing concept out of a totally different play. Michigan goes from a three-wide stack with a rollout to that side to an ace set with a couple of play action fakes, but it's the same thing for the quarterback: three options of varying depth along the left sideline. (Depending on how real the Denard wheel is. If it's not it should be.) On both plays the depths are five yards, 20 yards, and 40 yards. On both plays the playside corner is the main dude to read.
This kind of thing is all the rage in the NFL and various places in college football: Stanford, Boise State, wherever Weis is hanging his hat ("Let them try to stop a pro-style offense, which has multiple personnel groups and multiple formations."), etc. Smart Football notes the concept is one of three main ways modern offenses beat defenses:
Use multiple formations and motions to confuse the defense or gain an advantage in numbers or leverage. This approach tries to turn the defense against itself by never giving the defense a chance to get settled or to identify what the offense may do. Moreover, sometimes the defense simply fails to adjust, and the offense gains some new advantage. The downside of this approach is it leaves little time and fewer clues for the offense to make adjustments, but the idea is that "motion causes emotion" (to use the old adage) and the offense has an advantage in that it knows where it is going. This is the method employed by Boise State.
The other two are changing the play before the snap and using good old option football to force the opponent to be wrong.
The advantage of the multiple look is that it gets complex for the defense while remaining simple for the offense, particularly the critical guy with the ball in his hands every play. On back-to-back plays a zone flood wins, getting receivers open for huge chunks. Since the flood develops differently the defense has a hard time picking up on the tendency. Here the quarterback switch mitigates the effect of having the QB get to make the same read he just successfully executed, but in a normal situation you get the advantage of familiarity while the defense does not.
This may be why it feels like Michigan increasingly has no "base." Here's Boise State's RB coach on what they do on offense:
"We run plays, we don't have an offense. It makes it difficult to defend." At that time he was working with the running backs. Before this project, I wondered how an offense can't be a system. Coordinators pride themselves on establishing identities: "It's what we do" is a common mantra among the coaching profession. Urban Meyer at Florida has his spread option, Chip Kelly at Oregon has his QB run game, Steve Sarkasian at Washington has his pro-style offense that he developed at USC. Well, apparently Boise was the Seinfeld of college football — their lack of identity is their identity.
I've described the offense as "grab-bag," "cute," and "gimmickball" at various points during the year because they don't have a core play—at least not one that works COUGH power COUGH—that forces opponents to cheat and opens up your constraint plays.
Michigan fans have never seen an offense like this. Rodriguez varied his base but there was always the zone, inside and out, or the QB iso offense. DeBord literally ran a zone stretch left on the first play 90% of the time. Before that Michigan based its offense off pro-style power running (even though they couldn't run). They always had a Thing They Did.
This year Michigan has done the following things on the ground: iso, power, pitch sweep, speed option, inside zone, outside zone, inverted veer, down G, sprint counter, jet sweep. That is damn near everything possible short of triple option and trapping, and it moves from week to week. Most people, including myself, have believed this is a transitional cost of fitting Borges into an offense he didn't build. I am beginning to doubt that conclusion.
Maybe this should have been obvious given the multiplicity of Borges's SDSU offense but there's a big difference between watching a team and living it.
Even though this should be simple for the QB Gardner biffs spectacularly. Man is this a terrible decision. This isn't the error he made against State by throwing to Hemingway instead of the free touchdown offered Hopkins. Hemingway was kind of open and a good throw is a potential touchdown.
Here he's got a hand-wavingly open guy and a double-covered one. He's reading one guy, the playside corner. He's got enough time to take tea in the backfield. The playside corner is booking it downfield with his back to the guy underneath him. And Gardner still throws to the double-covered guy. If Borges didn't throw something in the press box he's a better man than I.
Anyone calling for Gardner to start should be shown this play over and over.
Picture Pages: Stunting The Veer
Michigan pull out the inverted veer for the first time in the Hoke era over the weekend and got a couple of nice gains off of it.
I suspect that this was an effect of playing Purdue, which has made the veer a staple of its offense ever since Perry the ACLephant started striking down their quarterbacks left and right. When Michigan ran the veer in the Rodriguez era it was invariably against Illinois, which was veer-mad at that point. The theory behind that is Michigan's practicing against it as a defense, it works a bit, it moves from the scout team to the first team, and hey—this thing kinda works good. Let's use it.
But that's another post. This is this post. This post is about the opponent running the veer (sort of, anyway) and Michigan scheming it to death.
It's third and five on Purdue's second drive, and Purdue screams both "run" and "doom doom doom" by lining up Justin Siller at quarterback.
aaaiieeeeee aaaaarrrrgghghgh
Michigan is in its nickel package with Ryan as a DE and Avery hanging out over the slot. You'll note the odd positioning of the DEs: Roh is standing up and Ryan is a yard or so behind Martin. BWS has pointed this out before. It's a tip as to what Michigan will do. They're going to drop Roh and stunt Ryan.
On the snap they… drop Roh and stunt Ryan, except Roh is reading the mesh point and flying out on the edge. Morgan blitzes from the backside:
At the mesh point Siller makes his read, which is keep.
Why does he keep? It looks like he's reading Demens, who is bugging out for the tailback. With no other linebacker to read and two guys headed out for the tailback Purdue should have numbers to head up the middle.
But Purdue has problems. Van Bergen is in a spot where he ends up taking two guys and Demens is not going to get blocked so that spot inside the playside DE that the veer attacks is not open. Ryan is now stunting through the gap. So you've got two guys getting doubled and one guy blocking air.
When that happens you can option off a guy and still find another in your face. Van Bergen helps out by beating a block. Roh reads the pull and forms up.
One block beaten plus one RPS+2 playcall results in a zillion unblocked guys in the backfield.
That is all she wrote.
Items of Interest
I might lack a name for this or it might be a screwup, but probably the former. So usually on this veer play you see a pulling lineman get outside the playside DT and block whoever shows up. Here the guard pulls and ends up inside of the playside tackle, which is not how things are supposed to work normally. This could be a variant, a screwup, or an improvisation once the G sees the center release into air.
If I had to guess I would say variant intended to hit it up inside of the tackle. Siller appears to be looking at Demens to make his decision, not the playside end.
This is the ideal result from a stunt/slant. So we talked about a slant Michigan ran against Eastern Michigan on which Hawthorne did not get the message and ended up getting blocked by a guy. Here the center ends up blocking air and the pulling G ends up doubling a guy because of Michigan's playcall.
The difference in the linebackers is in the reaction and angle. Hawthorne vs Demens fight:
Hawthorne doesn't know where to go and sits until he's blocked; Demens moves out decisively. This puts him in a position where no one can block him. That is the kind of instant movement that defenses like this depend on to remain gap sound.
Ryan is also unblocked but that's just an effect of the stunt call that was inevitable once Purdue failed to pick up on it pre-snap. Speaking of failing to pick up on it pre-snap…
I wonder if this alignment is coached or a freshman mistake. As noted above, BWS has previously caught Michigan defensive ends lining up well off the LOS, thereby tipping pass drops. Here Roh isn't even in a three-point stance and Ryan is a full yard behind Martin.
Purdue is advertising run. Michigan is advertising a zone blitz paired with a stunt. Purdue does not recognize this and gets it in the face.
If random bloggers are catching it, opposing offensive coordinators are catching it. If Michigan does this in the future and gets stoned after extensive pointing by the QB or OL, you'll know this has migrated from the brain of the coaches to the field. These things are subtle, but not subtle enough to go unnoticed, I think.
Some player did some things well. RVB beats a block to provide a not-strictly-necessary third guy in the backfield and Ryan tackles. This is a rock-paper-scissors win, mostly, but you still have to execute.
Michigan did several things like this over the course of the day. Purdue's run game was basically nonexistent (just over 70 yards at less than three yards a carry, sacks removed) until Frank Clark came in and busted a zone read huge. Whatever Purdue tried they got nowhere with thanks in part to Martin dominating but also thanks to excellent edge play(!) from Ryan and Mattison putting his players in positions to succeed. After the screen touchdown Mattison pushed all the right buttons.
Picture Pages: Slanting Against Power
Picture Pages on a bye week? Sure. I generally take more snapshots than I can reasonably cram into one week of posting what with all the other whatnot that goes on in this space, so this is a perfect spot for some reheated leftovers.
Yesterday I tagged Whoever at WLB as one of the main trouble spots on the defense; last week I criticized the linebackers for a particular Edwin Baker run that popped big despite Michigan seemingly having it covered. I caught some criticism myself for not being harsh enough with Mike Martin on that particular play that I'm still not sure about.
In any case, I pick the individual plays after the game (or season) has developed enough for me to identify a trend, and I grabbed that specifically because of the WTF behavior of the linebackers. Here's a play from earlier in the season that got in my thought processes and may have compelled me to pull that baby out of the bathwater. Metaphors not guaranteed.
It's late against Eastern. The starters are still mostly in; the Eagles have been driving a bit. It's first and ten. They'll run a power play to the strong side of their formation*. Michigan is in their usual under.
*[People have told me this is a "Down G", not a Power O, because the guard blocks down—I see what you did there—and it's actually a frontside tackle pulling, along with the center.]
Ryan to bottom of screen, Frank Clark to top.
The key guy to watch is Hawthorne, who is the topmost of the MLBs.
On the snap everything happens!
By this I mean three things.
- the center pulls
- the frontside tackle pulls
- Michigan slants away from the play
You can see the entire line headed inside away from the playside. Brink, Ryan, Martin: all are oblivious to the idea of containment. This is fine.
wsg Slanty, the football-playing, jean-vested gecko who is inexplicably the first hit in Google images for "line slant football."
Why do it? To get a free hitter. Your slant should make life difficult for anything run to its side. The downblocks are key in the power. They're the easy bit for the offense. If one gets beat your play is going to not work very well. In all likelihood your pullers are going to take defensive linemen in the backfield, leaving linebackers free to run up and smash face.
If the opponent runs away from your slant it should be okay because the linebackers know there's a slant on and can chase playside as soon as the offense gives any indication there is a playside. This gets the backside tackle/guard/whoever—the guy assigned to the WLB—blocking air. The WLB gets to scrape down the line to tackle.
This gets the backside tackle… guard… whoever…
…blocking air…
…awww, come on, Hawthorne.
In the wider view you can see huge numbers of players on the backside:
Cutback == doom. Hawthorne has no responsibility but to get down the line to the POA. Note the difference in the disposition of the linebackers. Demens is hauling for the frontside; Hawthorne is in full block-catching mode.
Now, Michigan's D can bottle this up without needing a WLB if Ryan gets a two for one on these pullers. He's the guy currently inside of #68. The other puller is running right by him. He's already given up the bounce because of the slant; if he gets into the other blocker Demens has a free run.
Ryan doesn't. He gets knocked to the inside and pancaked, which erases backside help. The other puller gets out on Demens:
Demens has maintained outside leverage, forcing it back to his help, which is three yards downfield and getting farther away.
First down on a basic power run.
Hesitation is a killer here and it does not seem explicable. Hawthorne does not quite know what he's doing yet, especially earlier in the season. The hesitation gets a little more explicable when you look at the previous play, when one Brandin Hawthorne got burned on a counter:
Even so, with the line slanting in front of him he should know to take off playside at any hint of a pull or any hint of a guy releasing to block him. Slanting should make LB decision processes easy.
This play is one of the archetypical examples of why the WLB is hard to block and can get away with being a slight fast guy… so don't get blocked.
This is especially bad for a player like Hawthorne. Hawthorne looks like Leo Messi out there. He has a hard time getting off blocks and has basically no chance if he's not thundering at whoever is coming out to block him. At least in that situation his momentum can pop the guy back and he can come off to tackle. He's done if he pulls the [REDACTED] Memorial Block Catching Dance.
Ryan missed an opportunity to MAKE PLAYS. The other thing a slant like this can do is take the playside DE/LB and make two guys block him. You see Ryan dive inside the first puller. This means the RB is going to bounce, which means Ryan's basically done. Also done is Ryan's blocker.
Ryan has one way to impact the play left: try to pick off that other puller, leaving Demens unimpeded on the edge. Here he takes the block and appears to try to fight back outside, which ends with him in a heap. This isn't the worst thing in the world but great defenses that swarm these kinds of plays with two guys get both the 2-for-1 and the WLB in the hole.
This is one of the reasons I'm looking owlishly at the WLB whenever something goes wrong. Picture Pages are attempts to thematically summarize trends I see as I'm UFRing, so when I pull a play to illustrate something it is a complaint/credit I've seen quite a bit of. That may mean I focus on the linebackers on a particular play that may or may not be Mike Martin's fault for not shedding his guy and tackling for loss.
Google images can be weird sometimes.
Picture Pages: Linebacker Hesitancy FML
A little more on what looks to me like one of the major issues with the run defense: the two MLBs not reading plays quickly enough. This was one of the videos featured in the UFR, FWIW.
Michigan State has first and ten at the beginning of the third quarter and will run an inside zone from an ace formation; Michigan is in their standard 4-3 under with Kovacs rolled down:
On the snap State starts to develop the run action and the linebackers start creeping forward:
A moment later the handoff point is almost reached and the two LBs are still three and four yards off the LOS.
Contrast this with the MSU defense on Michigan's first and five on their first drive:
Both are two yards closer to the LOS and rapidly approaching. This was a consistent theme: MSU linebackers, even when not blitzing, were screaming at the LOS.
At the handoff there is one blocker for two guys because Heininger was doubled on the backside. Martin is driving his single block into the backfield and Van Bergen is cutting off the outside. Kovacs is still hanging around for backside bounceouts.
The above is not a good setup for an offense.
But Demens does not get outside his block.. and Hawthorne starts moving up into a hypothetical gap that the RB is not headed to. Even if he wants to cut backside the Martin penetration means it will take absolutely forever. Still, he starts moving straight upfield instead of flowing to the hole:
By the time Baker manages to squeeze through the gap left by the DL, Hawthorne is hardly closer to him than when he was three yards behind the LOS and Demens is still two yards downfield, not funneling the play back to help.
Baker pops outside. Countess fills quickly, but can't make the tackle…
…and neither can Ryan.
Items of Interest
The DL cannot do much more than this. They got a two-for-one on the double that leaves a free hitter. On the frontside they drive into the backfield such that the tailback has one realistic option. Short of throwing offensive linemen into the RB, they have done all they can.
The linebackers are uncertain of what they are doing. This has been a theme all year: me complaining about guys pulling in front of the LB's face only for that LB move directly upfield instead of scraping over to the POA. Sometimes poor DL play has washed them out, but often it's just derp.
Both linebackers screw it up here. Demens has to get into his blocker further upfield; failing that he needs to pop outside of him to funnel back to help. He does neither. Hawthorne can't see that his assigned gap is not an option because of the penetration and slows up for what turns out to be no reason. Either could have made this play themselves; it takes both of them screwing up to send it to the second level.
I'm sure they're more concerned about play action than Michigan State was because of the quarterbacks in question, but they get blocked way too often for my tastes. Hawthorne had already given way to Morgan for a series or two in the first half; IIRC this would be one of his last drives before Morgan re-entered for the remainder.
Ed Baker is hard to tackle and fast. I wish he was on the football team I liked instead of one I do not.
Countess does a great job here. I know he misses the tackle but a cornerback impacting a tailback just outside the hash four yards downfield is quality run support. If the linebackers hadn't compounded their Keystone Kops impression by banging into each other and falling over Baker is gang tackled after a moderate gain; as it is only Ryan is there to tackle and he is run through.
Picture Pages: Snap Timing Death
[Ed: commenter wile_e8 makes a great suggestion: check out the earlier ND Check Yo' Self Picture Page for everything Michigan wasn't doing against MSU.]
One of the main issues with Michigan's offense was an inability to adjust to Michigan State's constant double-A-gap blitzing. BWS has an example where it ate up a Smith run; this post has two more focused on the precise timing MSU used to shoot into the backfield untouched on multiple plays.
Two plays in this one. The first is actually a 25-yard run on Michigan's first drive on which Vincent Smith breaks a tackle when the WLB gets too far upfield. It would be a disturbing omen.
It's second and one; Michigan is in a three-wide shotgun set and MSU in the 4-3 they'd run all day. Don't bother screaming that the bubble is open.
All right, so Molk starts to put his head down; when it comes back up he snaps immediately.
Molk's head starts down…
And by the time it's completely down Allen is nearing the LOS.
Bullough is next; the blitz seems like it is designed to have Allen pick off Molk while Bullough gets a free run:
But Molk snaps the thing so quickly that he doesn't even get his head up before the play. Instead of blocking Allen he goes to double the playside DT. He does not see the blitz at all:
Allen is through untouched.
Schofield actually does a nice job to adjust and kick out Bullough, giving Smith a crease when he breaks the tackle.
The video:
So that's a problem. Michigan endures another half-dozen of these throughout the game, gets the ball back down seven with under five minutes left, and comes out empty.
Molk head down, Molk head up…
…instant snap with two LBs running straight up the middle of the field. This time Molk does block Allen; Schofield does not slide over to get Bullough, which would put someone else through but someone else not running up the middle at the snap.
Denard throws a slant; Smith runs a hitch. Ballgame.
Video of that:
The timing of the snap is the same, the result different.
So what's going on here?
While some of the timing issues may have been playclock related, neither of these are. Michigan snaps the ball with around ten seconds left on the first play and while there is no playclock listed on the second it was the first play of a drive and I don't remember being upset about getting the play in. This is just… like… voluntary.
Once or twice Michigan did go to longer counts and got the opponent to jump, but one of those was a hard count from under center. The fact that they could get the jumps meant MSU was timing the snap; the fact they could continue into the fourth quarter meant Michigan was using the long counts too infrequently. Michigan
- consistently tipped their snap count
- never motioned for the snap to reveal what the defense planned
- didn't even bother to pause after Molk got his head up so he could evaluate the guys coming hell-bent up the middle of the field
- did not check out of plays
- did not execute what looks like a hot read here
This is not a toughness issue. Air cannot block people even if you're the Clint Eastwood State Fightin' John Waynes. It's an inability for Michigan to deal with a simple, grandiosely unsound defense that leaves simple throws in the middle of the field wide open*.
All of this is coaching at some level, but we can separate out getting execution out of your players from strategy. On the interception Michigan had an answer that they did not execute, which can reasonably be chalked up to transition/mindflub/one of those things. Michigan QBs passing up wide open guys on that second quarter drive is execution, not strategy. Those are costs of installing a new system, especially one with a lot of post-snap reads for the WRs, something I don't think Rodriguez ever did. On some level that's understandable.
However, they failed to adjust their strategy to help the offensive line out. MSU is running full speed at the line on the snap; varying the count would make those well-timed blitzes poorly timed, allowing Michigan to slide the protection and letting Denard know what he's in for pre-snap… or forcing MSU out of the play. Michigan State timing these snaps so precisely puts immediate pressure on Robinson, robbing him of a half-second he needs to maybe see Koger on the other side of the field or the actual route Smith is running. It gives Smith more time to read the play and understand his hot route. Even if you want the double LB blitz on the INT because you think you have it beat, waiting that beat lets everyone on the offense know it's there without letting MSU check. At the very least make your standard count long enough for Molk to look at the situation in front of him before he doubles on a guy who's going outside because of a blitz.
I find this incredibly frustrating. This was an inexplicable Rodriguez-era problem canning him was supposed to solve. Instead it got worse. Hoke tried to explain away the snap issues…
Did you notice that they were jumping your snap count? "I think everyone has an idea of snap counts from guns, because there's a mechanic that every team has. We have a silent count, and we have a double silent count. I don't think that's all the way correct."
…but clearly there is something there that is bloody obvious to the opposition that has destroyed Michigan's offense against MSU on their last two trips to East Lansing. (Michigan moved the ball fairly well in last year's matchup only to be undone by turnovers.) The next time Michigan visits they'll presumably be in more of a MANBALL offense with Gardner better equipped to go under center and a line that probably reads Lewan-Bryant-Miller-Kalis-Magnuson, so we may have seen the last of this.
*[I was just reading that Smart Football post he linked about matching short passes with runs, which would have been perfect here. A-gap blitz? Immediate toss to slot/TE. Still need to block up the middle to get the QB some time.]
Picture Pages: Getting Denard The Edge
We complete our Pulling Mike Schofield trilogy with a reason he may have been so eager to get outside on the play action Tacopants interception: he spent the week getting coached up on getting outside.
You might remember last week's complaining about rollouts that only seemed to get Denard pressured. Borges attributed some of this to "protection." Those issues were on the pulling guard, who twice saw two opponents coming up at Denard, slowed up in a moment of indecision, and blocked no one. Once this was Schofield; once it was Omameh. Schofield's moment of indecision:
Denard had to pull up; he threw off his back foot and the ball sailed over Koger's head.
One week later Michigan went easy on the rollouts so those edge guys aren't so eager to get outside. Their first of the game came deep into Michigan's second drive. Hopkins picked up a questionable holding call on first down and Gallon got eight of that back on a throwback screen, setting up second and twelve from the Northwestern 44.
Michigan comes out with two TEs again, this time in a balanced formation. Northwestern undershifts their line and leaves a strongside linebacker to the outside.
Michigan runs a play action with a mesh point and Schofield pulling across the formation.
By the time the mesh passes, ludicrously aggressive Northwestern linebackers are ludicrously aggressive. The MLB threatens to shoot up in the gap to the outside as Denard pulls.
This time instead of being hesitant, Schofield deepens his pull:
He's moving away from the LOS, and he's not worried about anyone except the backside DE. As Denard sprints out to the corner he makes contact…
And seals the guy. Linebackers can blitz all they want now.
They aren't catching Denard.
He would pick up eight yards before running out of bounds; three plays later Schofield zoomed outside on the Tacopants INT.
Interesting Items
This is a bit easier for Schofield. On the Minnesota play there is a second guy scraping to the outside who he has to deal with. Here the outside guy is the outside guy and that is that.
This is still an obvious coaching point for the week. Schofield is headed hell or high water for the corner, not paying attention to anything that may show inside of him and focused on getting that outside guy sealed. As soon as that guy declares himself the contain man Schofield is directed to lock in and get outside of him.
I would not be surprised if the obvious coaching point was in some way responsible for Schofield getting too far outside on the Tacopants INT. It's a play action pass on which he is pulling a week after having the thing that happened against Minnesota happened—negative reinforcement—and three plays after the above play happened—positive reinforcement.
Schofield's in a tough spot as the designated backup at every position except center. He should be the top backup tackle, full stop, and only pull rarely (to date tackles only pull on some outside power plays and the sprint counter). Instead he's starting at guard and having a lot of very complicated things to do on a regular basis.
It's interesting that Michigan chose to pull him over and over despite his relative inexperience. Have they lost faith in Omameh's pulling to the point where they won't run behind Lewan, the most grinding of their OL? Is it because Denard is more of a threat rolling out to his right? Something in Northwestern's defense? I don't know.
This is a pretty impressive drop from Northwestern's #51. On the video it's clear he's steaming towards the LOS, reads what's going on, and drops into Koger's route. Without that Robinson can toss it to him for what looks like a certain first down.
When Michigan can manage this seal good things will happen. I'm not sure they'll be able to consistently. When they can Denard on the edge with receivers is going to equal big gains. The problem with the rollouts against Minnesota was they never got that edge.
That seems like something a defender can force by getting upfield far enough that he won't be sealed. Shooting the gap between a guy maintaining leverage and pressure from the inside is a potential sack. So you have to have something in your arsenal that makes the guy think twice. Not sure what that is; maybe Borges does.

Impark Provides Free Parking To Veterans In London, OntarioMay 16th 2007 - Vancouver, B.C., Canada Imperial Parking Canada Corporation (Impark), one of North America's leading parking operators, and London's largest private parking operator, announced today a trial program that provides Canadian military veterans with free parking at selected locations in London, Ontario.
Under the terms of the program, which originated from a 2006 Remembrance Day pilot in Vancouver, British Columbia, vehicles displaying Ontario veteran license plates will be permitted to park for free on eligible parking lots. The program applies to all Impark surface lots in London that use pay-and-display parking meters. ICORR Properties International, a major London property owner, was eager to support Impark's initiative and included in the program its London surface parking facilities managed by Impark. Targeted at occasional-use hourly and daily parking patrons, the program is not a replacement for a monthly parking rental. Special event parking is also exempted from the trial.
"We are very grateful for the sacrifices these men and women made on our behalf," stated Herb W. Anderson Jr., Vice Chairman and CEO of Impark. "Now when a veteran has an appointment, wishes to shop, dine or simply enjoy what downtown London has to offer, he or she can park their car on an Impark surface lot free of charge. It's Impark's way of expressing to military veterans our pride and appreciation for their service to our country."
The trial period was put into effect on May 11th, 2007 and will continue throughout the remainder of 2007 to allow Impark to gauge the popularity of the program.
Imperial Parking Corporation, headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, is the third largest parking management company in North America with more than 3,700 employees and 1,850 locations.

After Impark executives toured the Pine Building, built in 1756 at Eighth and Pine Streets, Impark's vice chairman and chief executive officer, Herbert Anderson Jr., presented a $200,000 check to hospital executive director Kate Kinslow.That first installment will help the hospital satisfy a match required by a $350,000 award last month from the National Trust for Historic Preservation - Save America's Treasures 2007 Grant Program.
In November officials of the hospital - the nation's first - announced a $7 million campaign to restore the Pine Building. Two million dollars is earmarked for critical work including repairing termite damage and the slate roof, waterproofing, and replacing deteriorated wood and exterior painting. The remaining $5 million would create an endowment for regular historic preservation of the building.

All eyes will be on a Sanford, FL courtroom today, as George Zimmerman attends a second bond hearing this morning at 9:30 am EST.
STORY: Hear It Now! Zimmerman's Voice Samples Released
Zimmerman is awaiting trial on charges of second-degree murder for the killing of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman says he fired a single shot in self-defense after the teenager attacked him. He was arrested April 11, but Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. ordered him released on $150,000 bail a week later.
But that was before he learned that Zimmerman had an online fund-raising campaign that was raking in $1,000 a day, which he failed to disclose to the judge.
At an April 20 bond hearing, Zimmerman's wife, Shellie Zimmerman, testified under oath that she and her husband were broke. But prosecutors proved that they had transferred at least $135,000 between accounts in the days just before the hearing.
The day she testified, according to records produced by Special Prosecutor Angela Corey, Shellie Zimmerman had $57,000 in her personal bank account.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Trayvon's parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, plan to be at today's hearing. According to their attorney, Benjamin Crump:
"We're waiting to see if Zimmerman might take the stand…It'll be an interesting day tomorrow."
Attorneys for more than a dozen news companies also will be at the hearing. That's because O'Mara has asked the judge to prohibit the release of several public records, including 150 phone calls Zimmerman made from jail and the statement of "witness 9."
Witness 9 is believed to be Zimmerman's former girlfriend who told Sanford police that Zimmerman has "racist ideologies," according to a police report.

I have been mucking around trying to make my own lures the last couple years and some of my early versions were appalling. Recently I set my mind to it with a lot of help from a lure maker, Anthony Barnard from Deep River Lures I made my first decent lure, the Tangle.
I finally managed to get to Wivenhoe this week after the weather decided to play ball, it was a lovely day on the water with receding winds and the dam turning into a mill pond. I went looking for schools of bass on the flats but only came across schools of catfish, I caught eight monsters.
On the way back to Logans Inlet I was swimming one of my lures for the first time and I was on with a massive hit, after a short battle I managed to net a fat as 50cm Wivenhoe bass. It was a special moment with me scoring a superb fish on my very own lure. The lures are hand carved from Brown Beech, Hand sanded, with an air brushed finish......

But but but… they dish out limited quantities, no seconds. Worst part? Every item you see in the photos including the falafels, the beef bacon, sausages and mashed potatoes are stone cold. Yep.

We met Los Angeles based DJ's the Cosmic Kids about 3 years ago at the Standard Hotel, while they were entertaining a poolside gathering with their spacey, balearic, disco tracks. Upon being immediately entertained by their music curation, I quickly realized these guys were playing vinyl! You don't find a lot of DJ's these days sharing their passion for records, especially from guys this young.
They've DJ'd alongside LCD Soundsystem, Holy Ghost!, Juan Maclean, Dâm Funk, Crystal Castles, Digitalism, The Rapture, Harvey, Little Boots, Classixx, and Steve Aoki.
Cosmic Kids Dan Terndrup and Ron Poznansky released their first EP "Reginald's Groove" on Throne of Blood earlier this year, which fetaured remixes from The Juan Maclean, label mate Bicep, and hometown buds the Classixx. Since then, they have been busy putting out remixes for Small Pyramid's, Superhumanoids, and one for Holy Ghost! out in Nov. on DFA.
Keep'em comin kids!

Handmaid's Tale
Author:Atwood, Margaret
Pub Date: 1998
Publisher: Random House Inc
Summary: "A gripping suspense tale, THE HANDMAID'S TALE is an allegory of what results from a politics based on misogyny, racism, and anti-Semitism. What makes the novel so terrifying is that Gilead both is and is not the world we know....The depth and complexity of Atwood's critique of contemporary society are stunning....[A] stark, even gruesome book, but it does not yield to despair and neither does its author."

Another wussy black metal band trying to be true.
Related bands - Cradle of flith, Children of Bodom, Hectate Enthroned. Bands you SHOULD listen too so that you don't sound like a wuss - Mayhem, Emperor, Burzum (old stuff), Satyricon, Impaled Nazarene. Untrue metalhead: ZOMG, Rotting Christ is so good.
Norsk svart metallkriger: Shut up you piece of trash, Immortal is better. Norsk svart metallkriger = roughly translates too: Norweigan black metal warrior |
1. | Rotting Christ | ||
A Greek black metal band. Does it honsetly matter whether they are "true" or not? It's a band making its own music, that's it. The same goes for everything else extreme closed-minded philistines don't like purely based on popularity reasons instead of the music itself.
Yes, Norway probably did invent the genre, but in the same way that the UK invented the telephone, it can be made in other countries just as well, sometimes better. My phone's Japanese, for example, although Alex Bell invented the first one. Rotting Christ is a rather good Greek black metal band.
2. | rotting christ | ||
A truly fantastic and greatly talented Black Metal band. Rotting Christ rule!
3. | Rotting Christ | ||
Rotting Christ has been around for longer for Immortal, Emperor, Burzum, plus a whole lot of other bands. Euronymous was actually going to sign them to Deathlike Silence Productions before he died, so yes, they are Black metal (Metal-Archives even thinks so).
So anyway, it's a great greek black metal band with a Gothic type feel to their music. Early Demos were influenced more by Grindcore, before they became a fully blown black metal band. Like I said, They've been around for more years then their Norwegian Black metal musicians so they are highly influential. Lyrics usually talk about Greek Mythology and love which is definitely something new in black metal. 100x better than Dimmu or Cradle. Rotting Christ has some great albums such as Sanctus Diavolos, Triarchy of the Lost Lovers, and Khronos.
4. | rotting christ | ||
Great band and the only good black metal band to ever exist. Oh, please. Fuck the lyrics, just listen to the music.
5. | rotting christ | ||
Only decent black metal band ever... EVER. Rotting Christ... good band.
6. | rotting christ | ||
Another black/death metal band who has nothing better to do than growl so low that it sounds like belching, that or screaming like they lost their scrotum, on and on about how bad christianity supposedly is. Rotting Christ...Rotting Anus

Community Notes
January was a busy start to the new year in the Linux community. Filled with the first conferences of 2006 – such as the widely acclaimed LinuxConf AU (more on that later) – it was also a time to begin planning many of the other events coming up later this year. 2006 promises to bring many interesting technological developments, but also, hopefully, this year will prove to be yet another important year for Linux advocacy and a time to "make the switch" for many more people around the world. My sister is one person who made the switch to Linux a year or so ago. Having come from a mostly Windows background, she found using Ubuntu surprisingly straightforward. Of course, she just happens to have my brother-in-law (a python developer working on Linux) to help out when things break. Still, I'm encouraged by how far we've already come with a great set of alternatives for those just starting out – especially the much improved Open Office 2.0 and an ever improving general desktop experience. I'm not going to say this year will be a breakthrough for Linux on the desktop (it's probably not quite at that point yet), but we're getting close.

From 'round the sphere...
Massachusets desperately seeking another Kennedy
This is really sad.
Predictably, the push has begun to get a Kennedy into the Senate seat held for lo those many years by Ted Kennedy. The Kennedys favorite newspaper - the Boston Globe - all but annointed Joe in a news story by Frank Phillips that also handily reminded everybody that the seat is, after all, the permanent property of the Kennedy family.
Said Philips:
"With Massachusetts having paid its final respects to Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the politics of succession begins in earnest this week - candidates will emerge, a race will take shape, and the Kennedy clan will have to reveal whether it wants to keep the seat in the family.
"All eyes now are on Joseph P. Kennedy II, the former US representative, with family members and political allies expecting him to make a decision very shortly on whether to enter the Democratic primary.
Are the leaders of Massachusetts really saying that either a) one of their Senate seats is the hereditary property of a specific family, or b) that nobody in their fair state is capable of filling said seat but someone from a specific family? Seems that way to me.
Of course we all know what's at least part of the equation here: health care. As in, if we can get a Kennedy in that seat they can stand in the well of the Senate and be a reminder to the nation of Teddy and his dream of nationalized healthcare. Oh, and plus they've got so much invested (politically) in the Kennedy name brand that want to be able to continue to leverage that investment and make sure that the seat stays securely in liberal, Democrat hands.
Again, pretty sad.
Here comes the quota police!
Well, you wondered how long it would take an Obama Justice Department to get around to the business of sending government lawyers out to comb the countryside to look for racism (loosely defined) and fill the court system with lawsuits. And here we go.
WASHINGTON — Seven months after taking office, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. is reshaping the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division by pushing it back into some of the most important areas of American political life, including voting rights, housing, employment, bank lending practices and redistricting after the 2010 census.
As part of this shift, the Obama administration is planning a major revival of high-impact civil rights enforcement against policies, in areas ranging from housing to hiring, where statistics show that minorities fare disproportionately poorly. President George W. Bush's appointees had discouraged such tactics, preferring to focus on individual cases in which there is evidence of intentional discrimination.
In other words, they'll be flooding the courts with cases against business policies and practices, based on statistics (with are NEVER manipulated) instead of focusing on real instances of discrimination. Oh, and just as an aside, it seems to me that years of threats against banks over lending practices contributed to their throwing caution to the wind with sub-prime loans, (after being told Fannie and Freddie had their back).
Chief House tax bill writer Rangel a tax cheat?
Stranger things have happened, to put it mildly. In this case, it's not hard to believe at all...
Last week, we learned that Rangel filed a grossly misleading financial disclosure report for 2007 -- failing to report at least half a million dollars in assets.
It turns out Rangel had a credit union account worth at least $250,000 and maybe as much as $500,000 -- and didn't report it. He had investment accounts worth about the same, which he also didn't report. Ditto for three pieces of property in New Jersey.
Beyond that, we've learned that Rangel has failed to report assets totaling more than $1 million on legally required financial disclosure forms going back to at least 2001.
The article reminds readers that former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was prosecuted for the same thing...but only a quarter of the money. Of course, I don't think I'd bet any serious money that Rangel will get the same treatment.

When it comes to entering intersections, a green light does not always mean go. LaGrange Police said drivers blocking city intersections can now expect a ticket instead of warnings.
"You should never enter into an intersection that you cannot exit," Officer Wesley Engle said. "It causes more traffic congestion."
Engle issued three warnings, which he believed were taken lightly, to drivers blocking intersections last week. Obstruction of an intersection, he said, can result in a ticket with fines of up to $100.
"We have no choice but to step up the enforcement," he said.
The intersections at Lafayette Parkway and Morgan Street, and Lafayette and Greenwood Avenue, are two of the city's most commonly blocked intersections. Traffic signs telling drivers not to block the intersection are posted throughout LaGrange.
Blocking an intersection prevents oncoming cars from passing safely. According to police, issuing tickets is the next attempt in decreasing the dangerous driving habit.
"It could cost someone their life," Engle said.
Intersections are an important factor in the fast arrival of ambulances, fire and other emergency personnel.
Proceeding through them safely prevents accidents, in which police said a car blocking an intersection is almost always at fault. According to police, oncoming vehicles would have the right of way.
"It can also prevent an aggressive environment," Engle said.

Andy Reid names Nick Foles the starting quarterback for remainder of season
Andy Reid named Nick Foles the starting quarterback for the rest of the season, regardless of Michael Vick's health.
Andy Reid names Nick Foles the starting quarterback for remainder of season
Zach Berman, Inquirer Staff Writer
Andy Reid named Nick Foles the starting quarterback for the rest of the season, regardless of Michael Vick's health.
"It gives one of your players the opportunity to play here, the next four games, as a starter," Reid said. "Each week, he's been the replacement guy. Now he is the starter, we'll see how he does with that on his plate, see how he handles it. I don't expect much change there with him."
Reid said Vick is on "the fast track" and might return this weekend, although he's still at the fourth phase of the concussion recovery. But Reid said the decision was made in part for Vick's long-term health.
"I think, where we're out, with the season, it gives this kid an opportunity to play and finish it up," Reid said. "He's playing well enough that I think he can win football games for us. Where we sit at this position in the season, it's the right thing to do."
Foles has started the past three games with Vick out with a concussion. In three starts and four total appearances, he completed 60.9 percent of his passes for 739 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.
"I did speak to [Vick], and he was very positive about it," Reid said. "He completely understood. He's on board."
Vick will likely be the No. 2 quarterback when he's healthy. Reid emphasized that Vick's concussion recovery has taken a long time -- Vick is still at the fourth phase of a five-step process and has not passed his ImPACT test -- and wants Vick healthy enough to have a long career.
"He still has three, four years that he can probably get out there, wing it, so let's get him healthy and on right direction there," Reid said.
Reid said he made the decision on Vick without interference from the front office.
"One great thing about the Philadelphia Eagles organization is Jeffrey [Lurie], when Joe [Banner] was here, and Howie [Roseman] and the other general managers were here, they allowed me to make decisions," Reid said. "I understand where you're coming from that you need to know that, but those are my decisions."

Vick $100 million (benched)
Nnamdai $55 million (horrible!)
Babin $28 million (cut - ineffective all season!)
Demetress $34.5 million (benched - cant beat out Dunlap!)
Do I need to go on and include the rest of the non-performing veterans (DRC, Jackson, Dunlap, etc.)? Shorted for $$ - right! I think the Eagles got shorted for talent by singing those contracts - and robbed of the money on top of it! gdibig- Lpboys

Married Women are More Likely To Kiss Someone at the Company Christmas Party Than Married Men:
According to a new survey, married women are more likely to kiss someone at a company Christmas party than married men.
48% of single men say they've kissed a married female coworker at the office party. Only 22% of single women have kissed a married male coworker.
Which either means married women are more likely to make out with their coworkers than married men . . . or men are more willing than women to ADMIT they kissed someone who was married.
The survey also found that four out of five coworkers who hook up at the Christmas party end up turning it into a one-time or short-term thing. Only about one in five end in relationships.
37% of Adults Believe in Santa?
According to a new survey, 37% of ADULTS say they believe in Santa Claus.
That's 44% of women and 30% of men who say they believe. Broken down by religion, 47% of Catholics say they believe in Santa . . . 38% of Protestants . . . and in the most random finding of all, 12% of Jews.
In the same survey last year, only 30% of people said they believe in Santa Claus.
A Woman Calls the Cops on a Salvation Army Bell Ringer For Making Too Much Noise:
Sarah Hamilton-Parker of Portsmouth, New Hampshire called the cops on a SALVATION ARMY BELL RINGER. Because she said he was making too much noise. Ya know, while he was out in the cold trying to raise money for charity.
Sarah works at a store in downtown Portsmouth. The store is VERY lucky that the local press didn't report its name.
She says, quote, "I listen to this [bell ringing] for 200 hours a year. This is my fourth year and I can't take it anymore. I'm so sick of it. I don't get a break. It makes my blood pressure go sky high. It makes me hate Christmas."
The police captain says the Salvation Army gets official government permission to ring their bells downtown to collect for charity. So . . . the bell ringers are allowed to stand where they're standing and ring their bells as much as they want.
Sarah says she's thinking about putting together a petition to circulate around to the other downtown businesses to get the bell ringer kicked out.
More Than Half of Couples Use the Toilet in Front of Each Other:
According to a new survey, 51%of couples say they use the toilet in front of their significant other. That means less than HALF of couples are trying to keep that mystery.
The survey ALSO found that 51% of people say they'd break up with someone over bad toilet habits.
About one in three couples say they ARGUE over bad toilet habits. The main fight is over leaving the toilet seat up.
The second-biggest cause of arguments is leaving the toilet a mess. Number three? Making too much NOISE on the toilet.
And finally, 75% of people surveyed say they do their BEST THINKING on the toilet.
Your Marriage is Three-and-a-Half Times More Likely To End in an Argument Over Vacuuming Than an Affair:
According to an analysis of 350 divorce cases by a law firm called Gateley, you're three-and-a-half times more likely to have your marriage end in an argument over vacuuming than over an affair.
They found 70% of marriages end over simple domestic issues, like housework, finances, or where to live. Only 20% of marriages end because of adultery.
Two-Thirds of Porno is Watched at Work?
According to Dr. Cristoph Ahlers, a sex expert in Austria, TWO-THIRDS of the visits to free online porno sites are done at work.
So, he says 67% of porno is viewed at work . . . meaning two out of three of your coworkers are going to look at porn at work today.
But a Harris Interactive survey in the U.S. earlier this year found 3% of people admit they look at porno at work . . . meaning one in 33 of your coworkers are going to look at porn today. So the truth probably lies somewhere in between.
Ahlers says that after work, the second-most common time and place people look at porno is at home, after midnight. Now THAT'S believable.
A Guy Was Arrested For Slapping His Girlfriend After She Told Him His Junk Was Small:
Apparently, 20-year-old Tyler Marshall of Manatee County, Florida has a small penis.
Last week, he and his girlfriend, 19-year-old Brittany Siler, were breaking up. He was insulting her, so she fired back with the best insult she had available. Quote, "Your penis is small."
At that point, he SMACKED her and tried to BITE HER NOSE.
She called the cops, and he was arrested for domestic battery.
A Woman Punched Her Boyfriend For Watching Football Instead of "Fooling Around" With Her:
45-year-old Kristi Santo of Pompano Beach, Florida was home with her boyfriend of three years. And she wanted to GET-IT-ON. But HE wanted to watch football.
According to the police report, she kept trying to SEDUCE him into, quote, "fooling around" . . . but he stayed focused on football. Finally, the rejection was just too much . . . and Kristi PUNCHED her boyfriend in the nose.
She was arrested for battery. She was already on probation for a drug possession conviction.
