Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a presentation of Blue by 90. Find us on Twitter at Blue by 90 and shop the merchandise at Blueby90shop.com. And it goes to the win! The three-pointer by Jordan Poole! Down the sideline! Peebles Jones! Touchdown, Wolverines! All right, welcome back to Blue by 90. I'm Justin, joined by Jack and Kalen.
Starting point is 00:00:42 As always, it is Thursday, September 15th, and we are in week three of this football season here. Another just top-tier competitor for our Wolverines to play on Saturday. Going to be a tough one. Dude, I love that people are giving Michigan shit, like for the non-conference scheduling and i'm like that's they did a fucking incredible job like why would you schedule a tough point you don't need to don't need to yeah no who cares michigan michigan making big brain moves
Starting point is 00:01:18 right now as long as you can beat him as long as you can beat him side note when you said it was thursday i told you like with i thought it was thursday it was like thursday night football's on tonight i didn't realize it was on prime video so i've got it on now but i was on youtube tv like trying to switch over the game and it was seahawks denver it was a replay of the monday night football game oh god and i'm like didn't they just play on fucking monday and then like i look at and it says like monday night football replay whatever on nfl network so i just but i there was a football game on i assumed it was the one that
Starting point is 00:01:49 was on tonight and it was they're fucking with you dude they're fucking with me hard um i mean that's that's just like tough i don't i don't know if i've like i've gotten the days wrong but if i don't know if i've ever done Thursday to Monday, possibly. That's about as far away as you can get. Right, and I didn't get the days wrong, but I thought I did because I didn't realize this football game was on Prime. This isn't streaming anywhere but Amazon. Jack thought he was time traveling for a second. I know, I'm like know what the fuck is going on
Starting point is 00:02:26 i will say like i hate that can we just get it on normal tv like i have amazon prime but like i don't i'm not logging into my fucking amazon account somewhere and streaming this just for one thursday night game well i mean for me it's like like a guy that for them to make fucking money, genius move. Love it. People are going to bitch. They always bitch and moan, but once it fucking gets rolling, people are going to get over it and it'll be whatever.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Amazon must be making a gazillion dollars more than they're already making. And I love that Kirk Herbstreet is on it. Since I hit an NCAA 14 and probably coming up in 23 i love him on the call in real games i do think you're definitely correct like this is basically anything ever that's new or changing and like people bitch and then like
Starting point is 00:03:21 everyone just gets over it at some point. If you're a brand out there, if you're somebody that gets backlash to trying something new, just keep doing it. People will understand. Push through that first instant reaction. It's kind of like
Starting point is 00:03:40 when they come out with a new iPhone and everyone's like, what? Then they go buy it. I'm trying to get that new update right now oh for the like multiple i mean i don't know what i think it's just like your fucking screen or something i did this the other night because i am in a long-term relationship now um you are would not recommend long distance or long term what did i say i'm in a long distance long-term relationship actually in a long-term distance relationship
Starting point is 00:04:14 yeah um also some people call it a marriage um is it long-term marriage distance i think you nailed it on that last one i think that was a good one um but we you can screen share on facetime now oh and and we jacqueline and i were i was watching tiktoks and she was watching her with me we were watching the same tiktoks because i was that's kind of nice that is kind of dope i like that it's actually a great way for us to spend time together because like it's the same even once you were here we were just fucking scrolling tiktok together on the couch anyway so you know it's really not that different the only update that i'm really waiting for from uh from them and maybe it's on this one i don't i don't know yet i don't have it is the uh marking like a conversation
Starting point is 00:05:06 unread or like a message unread like you can do in in mail do that in in like gmail and stuff like with emails like i always do that to keep track of like okay this is what i need to do whatever and um like i can't do that in messages like i remember when i was managing an orange spirit i was like telling people would text me and I'm like, I'm not going to remember this. Like shoot me an email because I could like market on red. Like if I could do that in like message, like that would make my life probably not that much easier,
Starting point is 00:05:34 but like, I would really appreciate it. Yeah. I mean, I think this is probably just an issue for your organizational skills, but I think that it would help for sure. A hundred percent, but it would help. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:47 I mean, anything that can help us organize their lives. I'm all for. Yeah, we need it. Like you want, you want to know, actually there,
Starting point is 00:05:58 Jack, there are like a lot of things that you do that piss me off all the time. I'll be honest with you. The biggest thing that pisses me off that you do is we'll get an email to our shared blue by now i know and you read it and react in the trash immediately see ya get out of here even when we know like we're gonna or like we're gonna need that at some point and you just put it in the trash i think what i'm gonna do is try to figure out or maybe kaylin you can figure this out how to forward all of our mail from blue by 90 that goes to each one of us so i can just log out of the blue by 90 account and then i'll still see anything and then anything i need i can look at the other thing i was like
Starting point is 00:06:40 just swipe it off gone we can do that for sure i'm solving problems over here i just don't understand like that's how like in my mind i'm like gone see ya yeah but what if you need to like go back and and like look at something but i don't but we have had instances of that many times where i have had to go back and look i'm like oh fuck this is in the trash because jack did that yeah i mean if i don't know what's going on i'm out see ya i don't know what that is get out of here get out of here going trash i don't need it frustrating thing not for me i'm sure it's great for you dude sure it's great your anxiety levels go way down my anxiety levels through the roof that's what it is if i see literally if i go like now like i'll even see like the stream yard things like i'll i'll like
Starting point is 00:07:34 see it right away like the badge because i'm just addicted to my phone and i'll be like all right i'm gonna leave it for 10 minutes if it's not taken care of in 10 minutes i'm gonna fucking take care of it myself it's gonna be read and it's gonna be deleted so i'm giving you a time frame and minutes you this is like actually you know what this reminds me of is the man titayo doc where they're like yeah we gave him an hour to comment on it and then we hit publish when he didn't respond it was like 2 a.m yeah yeah they were like yeah we usually give people a reasonable amount of time and an hour later we hit publish on the biggest story of all time that was going to ruin his life forever and ever i mean having to search through the trash of
Starting point is 00:08:20 the email is not going to ruin your life forever and ever, but great comparison. I feel like Manti Teo right now. He is in a long-distance, long-term marriage. I need to make a graphic that's like those ESPN ones where it's a quote and it's just like your face. I feel like Manti Teo right now.
Starting point is 00:08:43 That should be hilarious. There's no context me and man titan basically the same person he probably doesn't have good internet either look at the picture that he's frozen on i mean that's that's pretty spot on for justin that is perfect like what is wrong with his Wi-Fi? His computer broke. All right. He's back now. What do you got?
Starting point is 00:09:07 There he is. I love when I come back after that and you guys are just talking shit about me. We have to. We got to fill silence, man. I'm not editing this shit. Keep it in the pod. No cuts. No edits.
Starting point is 00:09:19 No cuts, baby. You're authentic over here. All right. Let's talk about some Michigan football. Going back. Okay. I want to take it back. Speaking of Michigan football, side note.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Not a side note. Thursday Night Football. Are you fucking kidding me right now? Remember Mike Dana? Or Mike Dana? Yeah. Transfer from Central? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Is he playing? Yeah. He's got a TFL. Hell yeah. Yeah. For KC, right? Yeah. Kansas City.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Dude, he's a baller. Man. I mean, I felt like that was like a very random and kind of unnoticed transfer, and then he ended up being a big producer for us and then now doing really well in the NFL too. Also, other side note related to the same thing, there is a
Starting point is 00:10:05 safety or a linebacker, number 32 for Kansas City and it's not Tyron Matthew and I hate it. I don't want to see that number on anybody in Kansas City other than Tyron Matthew. You think that they should just retire Tyron Matthew? I don't know, man. He's just...
Starting point is 00:10:22 I don't know. I see that number in that jersey and I think of him. Where is he now? I think he's still in the league. I think they released him or some shit. Yeah, I have no idea what happened to him. How old do you think he is? I mean...
Starting point is 00:10:37 He's 32? Maybe? He was in the 2013 NFL draft holy shit 31, 32 he was born in 92 he was born in 92 yeah
Starting point is 00:10:54 I mean he's 30 I'm not 30 you're cracking me up with this like you can't have him you can't have anyone else where the number 32 in kansas city played there for three years i don't know i'm just saying like that's what i think of when i like think of tyron matthew he played in arizona for five years houston for one kansas city for three and now he's with the new orleans three years in kansas city
Starting point is 00:11:25 retire the number i'm just saying like i i see that like when you think of brandon inch you think of like in bad comparison brandon spent his whole fucking career in detroit that is the fun what are you even talking i'm just saying like when i when i see that like number in that jersey i think it's harry mats. That's all I said. That is literally all I said. Kalen said retire it, so keep my name out your mouth. I want to know. I would kill to be inside of your brain of how you got to Brandon Inge there.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Because I was trying to relate it. It's like when you think of this number in this jersey, who do you think of? 15, Detroit Tigers, Old English D. because I was trying to relate it. It's like, when you think of this number in this Jersey, who do you think of? You know, 15 Detroit Tigers, old, old English D I think Brandon Angel is my tiger, man. Honestly,
Starting point is 00:12:12 I think of LSU when I think of Toronto, Matthew. Yeah. Number seven LSU. Yeah. Patrick Peterson. And now off the team. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:23 For what weed? I think so. But that was back in like 2012. Oh, yeah. For what, weed? I think so. But that was back in 2012. People actually do weed. I'm crazy. I've never done the weed. Yeah. Are we talking about football? Yeah, somehow this is related to Michigan football.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Yeah. Justin, can you keep us on track? Oh, my God. I'm going to fucking murder you. All right. Let's talk Michigan football. So Michigan is playing UConn. Fighting Dan Orlovsky. Dan Orlovsky went to UConn?
Starting point is 00:13:00 Yeah, dude. You didn't know that? He's their all-time leading passer. I'm sorry. To be honest i've never paid attention to yukon football for yes but i like get up or i liked get up when it was uh steven a and max kellerman and dan orlovsky would be on there all the time and i loved that would be like his like like write-up thing is like UConn's all time waiting pass or whatever.
Starting point is 00:13:29 All right. Well, that's a good, I mean another good tangent. So you're up to 12 tangents so far in the 13 minutes that we've been recording this. Good job. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:13:40 So, all right. UConn is according to CBS sports, the 17th worst team in the country. Who's 1-2? Hawaii and Colorado State are 1-2. That's where I'm going back to the beginning, where I'm like, props to Michigan.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Good scheduling. Yeah, improving our strength of schedule here, actually. I'm good with it. Strength of schedule doesn't matter. It does not matter. Guess what? when the big game gets close to win and who fucking cares if Michigan goes 12-0 or even 11-1
Starting point is 00:14:14 I bet you that they are in the playoff yeah if they go 11-1 they go 11-1 with a close loss to OSU if they go 11-1 with a close loss to osu um if they go 11-1 with a win against ohio state during the playoff i still i think even with a loss to ohio state there's a there will be a thought about it i mean there'll be a thought there'll be a thought for sure but it it depends
Starting point is 00:14:39 on the bulk of the season at that point yeah i. I mean, that would be, I guess, the only way that this schedule could come back to bite us. But wait, also, won't matter in what year? 2023? 24? I think they're pushing for... No, yes, officially, but they're pushing for either 23 or 24. Wait, what's the official date?
Starting point is 00:15:02 Six. Okay. Yeah, it won't official date? Six. Okay. Yeah, it won't matter then. No. I mean, at that point, Michigan should be in the playoff every single year. Mm-hmm. So I'm looking at some PFF stuff. UConn's turnover-worthy plays, 6.9% of all snaps.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Michigan's big-time throw percentage, 5.66%. Break that down for me. I don't know what any of these numbers mean. So roughly 1 in 20 plays that UConn runs is a turnover, and roughly 1 in 20 plays that Michigan runs is a big time throw. 20 plus yard pass. Something like that. I like that. I mean
Starting point is 00:15:50 Okay. I mean That's great. So it's saying that their offense is very bad. Our offense is very good. You know what happens if you combine those two? You have Brett Favre. Hall of Fame quarterback. Okay. bad our offense is very good yeah you know what happens if you combine those two you have brett farve hall of fame quarterback okay have you seen what brett farve is doing in the news lately
Starting point is 00:16:13 no what is he doing i don't watch the news he's doing a bunch of wrangler commercials like he's like conspired to steal welfare funds so that he could build a high school football stadium at his daughter's high school. Shut the fuck up. Swear to God, he stole all these welfare funds. I mean, that does not shock me one bit. No. I'm not
Starting point is 00:16:37 praising Brett Farber. I'm just saying his touchdown to interception ratio I think was one to one in the NFL. Wait, actually? actually i mean pretty close i'll look it up there's no way this is true but i like where you're at i mean maybe it's not one to one maybe it's two to one but still that's not good and also why is it pronounced farve when it's favre also typed in farve first thing came up brett farve welfare yeah told you told you wow the second thing that came up was brett farve dick pic
Starting point is 00:17:11 that's a throwback uh 1.57 so that's close that's not good for like hall of fame quarterback i feel no no not at all dude so for every 15 touchdowns he throws a 10 picks do you know what actually that's fucking insane 10 picks how insane is that it's crazy that he's like remembered as like one of the greatest of all time um and like his successor aaron rogers also has like one of the most insane touchdown to interception ratios of all time and he they still have what the same amount of Super Bowls yeah probably that's true this must just be a huge fucking dick. I like this Barstool thing. I was laughing at that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:08 The Sunday conversation. Yeah. Oh, yeah, no, that stuff makes me laugh. Like, that's fine. But, like, how are you going to be that talented and not win Super Bowls? Like, is it just Green Bay just fucking sucks? Like, their management sucks and whatnot?
Starting point is 00:18:23 Couldn't Aaron Rodgers have left? Like, I don't understand what's happening here. Yeah. I mean, he also like straight up just hates his coach, like outwardly publicly. Didn't he hate McCarthy too?
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah. He hates everyone. Well, he hates the, he hates the organization too. Cause they drafted Jordan love instead of drafting him, either a running back or a wide receiver um and he's like well i'm still gonna i think it's gotta be like an
Starting point is 00:18:52 organizational thing his touchdown to interception ratio in his career 4.83 to 1 like that's wild reference was literally 1.53 i I think. That's insane. That is actually, those stats are insane. All right, so I'm going to circle this back to Michigan football again. I don't know how we keep getting off topic. I know. I know how you keep getting off topic. UConn.
Starting point is 00:19:22 All right, UConn. So they are bad. Michigan is good. Kalenlin that was a good stat um i i want well every time you fucking talk i have to remind myself of what we talked about 10 minutes ago just fucking oh you're not logged in i going to say he's fucking mute me, dude. But I have all the power. Yeah, I can't. You have no power. I want to pose a question. I'm pretty good.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Yeah. Ro wouldn't even know what that the fucking thing is from. Yeah, because I'm trying to talk about football. Can you fucking do it then, please? God. Do you guys think that them playing another shitty opponent is tough on the team
Starting point is 00:20:16 and the players to get their figure out positions and starting spots and the depth chart and also like prepare for Maryland and Iowa in the next like couple games go ahead Kalen I think it's it's actually very beneficial in some ways and it's kind of a detriment in some others so I think it's beneficial especially to like uh Sharon Moore and Matt Weiss right getting the like the, like, play-calling abilities under themselves. I think it's beneficial for some of the younger guys who maybe haven't played in the big house very often and played in some of those game situations.
Starting point is 00:20:53 But also, you know, you're playing some cupcake team. So, like, is it a fugazi a little bit, or is it for real? Sometimes you won't know until you play who we play for us for our first big game fugazi for jack i know fugazi come on i'm very cultured and fucking i know my vocabulary all right good who's our first tough game i mean i, I actually think Maryland's going to come in 3-0. But, I mean, you could argue for Michigan State. Well, Penn State. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Is Penn State going to be that good? I don't know. Are we that good? I don't know. Yeah, we are that good. We are that good. I don't know. Maybe not number 14 in the country right now, but, like, we're good.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I think our offense is that good, but I don't know that our defense number 14 in the country right now, but, like, we're good. I think our offense is that good, but I don't know that our defense is that good. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's what I feel like it's hard to tell against bad teams. Bad teams, you can kind of, like, I guess you can kind of get away with your offense. Like, if you have a bad offense, you can make them look good against bad teams.
Starting point is 00:22:00 But, like, I don't know, man. Like, some of the throws JJ's making and, like, some of the plays these running backs and athletes are making, like, you just don't know man like some of the throws jj's making and like some of the plays these running backs and athletes are making like you just don't see it every day so i mean it's it's definitely easier to judge an offense against uh bad teams but like defense is hard because bad teams they already can't move the ball your defense can literally just stand there and not even move and some guys can't complete a fucking pass. You know, like it's, you know.
Starting point is 00:22:27 So I don't think we really know how good the defense is until we get to probably Michigan State. Yeah, and don't forget that game at Iowa as well. Yeah, their offense is fucking spectacular. What do they score, five points a game? Spencer Petras has a 13.2 QBR. I'm talking their defense, right? They've been playing teams closer defensively.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Yeah, defensive team. I still don't think Michigan's offense is going to have a problem with them. But that'll be their first test at night on the road. Oh, that's what you're saying their first test is, yes. For offense, I agree 100%. Yeah, I agree. And no, so to answer Justin's original question, that better be going to Kelsey, and it's a pick.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Fucking great. I don't think it's a detriment because I do like seeing Sharon Moore and Matt Weiss being able to kind of, like, get some experience under their belt against some lesser teams. And also, I think it helps build the confidence of fucking guys going into the season you know and i think their schedule is set up very very well i mean you have like we talked about maryland iowa indiana like you're not playing any powerhouses like you're gradually you know kind of like peppering in tougher and tougher teams um and it just helps the younger
Starting point is 00:23:43 guys i mean obviously we have a new starter quarterback now. Not that he's – I mean, he's already super fucking talented, but still, like, being in the game, playing in front of fans, all that stuff, makes it a different environment. And if, you know, some of these younger guys can get – and there's a lot of really young guys that are playing already. Mason Graham is, you know, if he's not a starter, he's about to be a starter. Derek Moore, he's a young freshman that's getting a lot of playing time will johnson obviously making
Starting point is 00:24:11 the jump from high school to college um i mean there's plenty of young guys that like you know maybe they don't need it but it's beneficial for them to have this kind of maturing process as as they go through the season so i i love it i love it i love the cupcake scheduling fucking keep it up fun stat for you from uh the hawaii game that was actually in the article i wrote um uh the pff grades and snap counts uh a couple days ago um with help from bb's big house the top three snap getters uh on the defensive line uh this during the hawaii game all three refreshment who were they kenneth grant mason graham derrick moore wow kenneth grant forgot about him he isn't in the top 50 freak list thing. Because he's just fucking huge? As a freshman, yeah. What number is he? Do you guys know?
Starting point is 00:25:09 78, I want to say. I didn't really notice him. I also didn't watch a lot of the game, so I'll have to rewatch that. So in this UConn game... You're not supposed to admit that. Hey, everybody knows I'm the jackass of this podcast. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Yeah. What do you mean? What do you mean on this podcast? We have a podcast? Go ahead, Kalen. Fuck, what was I going to say? Something about JJ. How much do you play
Starting point is 00:25:44 JJ in this game against yukon you've now as you said he's the starter but you know yukon's not very good do you risk him maybe getting injured in a game against a not great team this is where i'm going to jump in super hard jj plays the first quarter k plays second davis plays third. Bowman or Orgy or Bowman, Orgy, Davis, Denigle, whoever mixes into the second half.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Jesse Madden. Jesse Madden. Fuck it. You know, I mean, as long as Michigan's handling UConn, fuck it. Might as well. I'm also like, it's football. You're going to get hurt or you're not going to get hurt. I mean, I don't really know, but everybody wants to see J.J. play.
Starting point is 00:26:38 I want to see him play at least a quarter. I mean, he'll probably play the whole first half. I think he'll play the whole first half just like yeah like with no kade coming in at all because even last game i think kade came in the second quarter he did come in early not i think late second quarter i bet you see i mean they were up 40 fucking two to nothing yeah i mean and that's yeah i honestly so far out of hand it'll be similar. It'll be similar. We'll see. Fighting Dan Orlovskis.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Yeah, I do think that, I mean, I think you want to see consistency from JJ here, right? You want to see, like, hey, you know, you're probably not going to throw 95% completion percentage for the entire year, right? But, like, let's keep the offense moving, make some of those big plays. And, like, this is where, like, these games, as the offensive coordinator, you're setting up stuff for the rest of the year, right? So, like, you're running stuff that's gonna bait these defenses of Penn State and Michigan State and Ohio State and then you're gonna like throw the counter punch to that later in the year so that's what they're gonna do I I also um I also would say that you um
Starting point is 00:28:01 I I want to see Cade do well I I really – I don't – I think it's actually really important that Cade plays well on Saturday. Because if he plays shitty, I'm concerned, to be honest, because we need a QB too. And we can't have a mentally, you know, screwed up one. We need one that can come in and perform if things don't go well for JJ or he gets injured or whatever the case may be.
Starting point is 00:28:30 I agree with you on wanting to see K play well. I think everybody's at the point now where they're happy that JJ was finally named the starter. I think I brought it up on the last podcast. I think K gets a standing fucking ovation when he goes in the game.
Starting point is 00:28:44 I'm doubling down on it. I think k gets a standing fucking ovation when he goes i know i'm gonna i'm doubling down i'm doubling down on it i think he gets a standing ovation it's been one of the loudest moments in big house history because now the fans can be like okay we have what we want but now i want to show our appreciation to you also when you're talking about you know setting up the game plan and yada, yada film for future in the season, when we had Cade at quarterback, it mattered a little bit more just because he wasn't as much of a playmaker, not taking anything away from Cade. But with JJ, this may be just a super ignorant take,
Starting point is 00:29:20 but I think it doesn't matter as much because if a play breaks down, you know he you know he can extend it and make something happen he's got more of that like johnny mansell factor right 100 you know what could happen okay yeah like i need i mean just like you turn a shit show into you know one man's trash the other man treasure kind of deal that is not how that analogy works but that's okay but you know what i meant um yeah totally no i i mean i i just like i dude i mean i just want to see like everything clicking on all cylinders um obviously it has so far uh there really haven't been any issues one thing to look out for too will johnson uh at in the secondary has had
Starting point is 00:30:07 uh according to pff which again we go we love pff when it says good things about michigan we hate pff if it says bad things about michigan right now they said good things about will johnson he's like one of the top graded corners in the country through two games. But seriously, he played – I was – I did watch the game, Jack, and he played – yeah, he played a ton in the second half, like actually basically the whole second half. He's played really well. So I think he's going to push those – he's going to push DJ and Juman all fall long, which good we like we need depth
Starting point is 00:30:49 there well luckily for us we also you know you need two to three dbs on the field at all times well those are all corners and we do have safeties as well um so yeah they're yeah it's good stuff yeah it's great i'll tell you what i don't think anybody's good stuff. Yeah, it's great. I'll tell you what, I don't think anybody's touched him fucking DJ Turner, though. Yeah, I know. I mean, Juman's just as good, dude. They're both really good. I love that he's got the – he doesn't wear gloves. He has the finger tape.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And then he's got the two towels. I remember I noticed that. I think it was fucking in the playoff game last year. I can't remember why I noticed it for the first time. But he's still rocking with two towels. And two towels, and you know who else? I just love Mikey Saner still. He's such a –
Starting point is 00:31:32 He's got the Kobe sweatband rocking the number zero. Fire, dude. I love it. I love it. Those two are – Both of them actually, like, nobody – not nobody, but everybody in the offseason was talking about how do you replace uh you know uh hutch and ajabo right there weren't as many people talking about
Starting point is 00:31:53 how do you replace dax hill last season dax hill did so much for this defense because he was all over the place he literally was wherever the play was he was there whether it was a run play he was all over the place. He literally was wherever the play was, he was there. Whether it was a run play, he was coming up. A pass play on either side of the field, he was there. You know what's funny, though? What? Is we had Rod Moore replace him, and I think he's going to fucking crush it. You get a five-star freshman DB in Will Johnson,
Starting point is 00:32:23 and then you get Mikey Samuels still going from offense to majority defense, and he's just a baller, and he's just killing it. And you have D.J. Turner returning and Jermon Green, who have both been very, very good in the secondary. I think, if anything, Michigan's secondary is better than they were last year. It might take a couple games, which obviously it doesn't really matter when you're scheduling these cupcakes, which, again, I love. I think they're going to be better than last year, man.
Starting point is 00:32:51 I don't see how you're not. Well, that's where I was going before you interrupted me. Well, you took too long to get there. That replacing Dex, nobody was talking about it. I was worried about replacing Dex, but feels like between rod and mikey that they've done a really good job so far so i i i think it won't happen this weekend we'll talk about it more and it'll happen against maryland then we'll know what the secondary is because i'm looking it averaging 529 yards of offense uh little tua right now has a 79 percent completion percentage um 51 of 65 um four tds and two picks but they're a heavy pass team their their offense is
Starting point is 00:33:42 their defense is still eh, but their offense is legit. I know Kalen was preaching them, I think, last week. Who was this? I wasn't listening. You. Maryland. Yeah. You had something to say,
Starting point is 00:33:59 Kalen, and I cut you off. No, I mean, for me, I just, I like these games because it helps you like build depth right like for us we get to see some of the young guys and for the young guys they get to fucking play right so they get some experience so for me i'm i just want to see some more of alex orgy to be honest because because he hasn't even got to throw the ball. You know who I really want to see? I'll top that.
Starting point is 00:34:30 I'll say that with you, I guess. I'll say that with you. It's Alex Orji and more of that TJ Gash or Vash. I remember our last podcast. I still don't know his fucking name. Isaiah Gash or whatever? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Isaiah Gash. Fuck, yes. he had that sick run at the end of the game last week yeah i want to see more of him man i want to see more of that guy he's legit he's fun to watch i just i was reading about alex orgy and i saw that in high school he squatted 550 had a 295 clean, and threw for 2,000 yards and rushed for 1,000. And I was like, what the...
Starting point is 00:35:11 What is this guy made out of? Yeah, it's fucking stupid, man. Do you think he is what we thought Joe Melvin was going to be? Alex Orji? I'm going to say no. I'm not going to say that yet because we literally haven't seen him do
Starting point is 00:35:28 anything and that's bit me in the ass before. No comment. Here's what he already has is the name. He's got the name already. Oh, he's got the fucking name. But Joe Milton, that's a fucking great name too. I think he's taken two snaps and one of them's a touchdown.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Is he Donard Robinson? Maybe. He's one for two. Is he the next Mike Vick? Yeah. This is what we said about Joe Milton. He was a mixture of Cam Newton, Patrick Mahomes, and Mike Vick. Dude, he's got to have an or't know the origin of that one, man.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Don't you put that evil on him. Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby. No, there's a lot of guys who I think, you know, have a lot of potential. So I think these games are really good for those players. I agree. I agree. i agree i agree i also think i mean jj in general uh jj is like the biggest one that's good for recruiting at the quarterback position but seeing all these guys is good at the quarterback position can we talk about qb2 i know kaylen morton article about it oh yeah yeah actually it's not i don't want to do it because i don't want to slander kade
Starting point is 00:36:47 there's no slander you're gonna say that there's there's a competition for qb2 i mean i love davis warren i do i do caitlin what'd you what'd you put in there that he's like uh uh how many of how many passes of his like were 22 yards plus or something i think like a quarter of his passes but he's only thrown like you know four passes or something right but i mean i like the way he throws the ball he fucking he puts it on the money i definitely do like davis i like davis man i I think that Davis plays more like JJ, too, so that helps a little bit. But I still would – I think I would take Cade 1,000% of the time. I mean, if Cade's got his head, you know, I think you have to, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Hard not to. I mean, he's got so much experience and so much knowledge. Yeah, some of these people throw turns around like pejoratives, right? I think you have to. Yeah. Hard not to. I mean, he's got so much experience and so much knowledge. Yeah. Some of these people throw turns around like pejoratives, right? Like game manager. I'm like, isn't Tom Brady a game manager? The greatest quarterback of all fucking time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Like that doesn't mean anything to me. Yeah. I agree. I agree. If you're a game manager and you go out and win football games, which is the point of fucking playing, then you're a good player. Yeah. You don't have to be the greatest athlete of all time.
Starting point is 00:38:13 You need to do the right thing at the right time and get your team to win. So, yeah. Yeah, I think QB2 is a spot where you're going to want a guy in there that is comfortable to come in in a pinch or maybe in a bad spot, right? You could be in a tough situation, and that's where I'm like, all right, I want Cade McNamara in the game. I'm also going to play devil's advocate here. But, I mean, you saw Cade play those first two games, and he went in and didn't really do much.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Saw Davis Warren go against the same team, and, you know, he looks comfortable, and he's making plays. He's making big throws. Yeah, I think we also, I mean. This is literally me playing devil's advocate. Yeah, I mean, it's a great point. It's not wrong. It's not wrong at all.
Starting point is 00:39:15 We all saw it with our own eyes. But we also, like, I still, I'm going to take, I'm going to take Cade as in he's played 17 games no wait more than that no more than that probably you remember that night game in Nebraska yeah that was a lot of that was Cade right yeah and Mike Sander still and Mikey Sander still he made some great throws great catch play corner as well um yeah i mean i don't know i like it also thank you jesus by the way i i at the running back position it'll be interesting to see what we see because i don't think we're gonna see much of donovan yeah i mean if he's questionable, just don't even fucking play him. Yeah. Which is great for... Stokes.
Starting point is 00:40:06 For cash. CJ Stokes. And my airboy, IG. IG. Cole Cabana, maybe? Raleigh and Raleigh? Out the stands. When does Dexter play Selene again?
Starting point is 00:40:20 Did we talk about this already? All right, we got to go. Yeah. It's on the schedule. They are really good. Will Cabana? Dexter football as a whole is very good. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:40:33 That sentence has never been said. Yeah. Like who? I feel like you're making shit up. No, I'm dead serious. So like anybody in Ann Arbor. Anybody in Ann Arbor that's good at football goes to either Dexter or Selene, though. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:49 I mean, I would go to Selene, no question. Selene's always had the better athletics. October 14th, Dexter Selene. Oh, bet. I'll be here. Dexter's the one. I actually already secured my tickets for Michigan versus Omani today. Oh, actually, last week,
Starting point is 00:41:09 Selene put in CJ Carr's youngest brother for some snaps. Yeah. I saw that. He's done too. By the way, Dexter's 3-0 against – they beat in Grosse Pointe, South 41-21, Skyline 59-8, and Bedford 27-6. So, yeah, they're pretty good.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Okay. Wait, wait, wait. 27-6 or 28-6? Or 28-76? 7-6. They beat them 7-6. 7-6. Yeah, it was a tough game. Hey, those Bedford boys are big. They beat them 7-6. 7-6. Yeah, it was a tough game.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Hey, those Bedford boys are big. They are big boys. That's an Iowa game right there. That's Battle of the Cornfields. Oh, he stuck his gator bottle in his mouth. Oh, no, he's not frozen. I'm right here. Well, he was held there for a second,
