Wait till after the bye week. I think we’ll see some changes.

So why not have him play in preseason, to help with that? We also don't ask our rbs to pass protect every play, there's roles in this offense that they were practicing in training camp that he could attribute to. It's an odd predicament.

We don't run our actual offense in pre season. He can pass pro he did so at Mich, but is he ready to do so in this scheme? Those 2 things are unique to one another.

I'm fairly certain Corum was widely considered a good pass protector at Michigan. Baffling that he doesn't get some run.

I don’t really understand this. A ton of NFL rookie RBs are able to get a few carries without being Marshall Faulk at pass blocking.

The obvious conclusion with Speights is he isn't ready yet or we would at least see him in the game in some instances outside of teams.

It is only an obvious conclusion if you believe coaches are infallible. I think ours are quite good, but not quite that good.

Not to beat a dead horse, but it ties into the EJ trade. I’m just sick of abysmal LB play, and thought, if we’re trading our best LB, it’s because Speights is gonna be replacing him. Not guys we know are awful.

You are beating a dead horse. EJ is in Tennessee. Rams moved on from him. Nothing is going to change that fact. He’s not coming back. Move on.

Michigan passed the ball about 10 times a game. The Running backs are not the problem. Can Corrum play defense?

The problems go way beyond the middle linebackers. Too many mistakes. Missed assignments. Missed tackles. Bad angles on attempted tackles. There is no one person coming to save this defense. They are what they are. Its not just one or two positions.
