First Round Pick 2019, Rashan Gary

I think MI is desperately missing Gary right now. In other notes they are mocking us for relying on the run and dominating time of possession right now....silly Badgers!

They ain't missing Gary. Michigan is missing a good head coach who's either going to produce solid young scholar-athletes and a solid record every year, or is going to cheat and win it all.

Instead, they got Harbaugh - he's all flash and dash, all talk, but not much better record-wise than Brady Hoke. They ain't paying him nine mill a year to win recruiting wars but never beat OSU or play for the conference championship.

He, like Gary, is all hype.

Gary is Zelig.

Because college football is the same as the NFL.

I don’t give a fuck about college sports anymore, but holy fuck, QB #17 of Wisconsin reminds me of the infamous Brooks Bollinger. First read ain’t open, he runs.

RB 23 is probably a 1st rounder.

Leonhard is still coordinating at Wisconsin, right? I think Peter King said Wisconsin D hasn’t yet allowed a point this season. Rex Ryan/Pettine pupil?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

So the scoreless streak is over. Lol at the NCAA targeting ejection rule, not that I give a fuck.

Camp Randall must be a riot atm.

Trend or no, I say again, it's more than anything else, a product of who else we have - the Smiths, and yes, even Fackrell. If it came down to Gary or Reggie Gilbert or anybody else we had the past couple of years, Gary would undoubtedly be starting right now and doing ok.

INTERPRETATION: It was stupid to draft into a position of strength with the #12 pick when we tied both guys clearly better than him up for several years, and the #12 pick even looks worse when he can't beat out Kyle Fackrell from day one )

Snap Count %'s after 2 games:

P. Smith: 93%
Z. Smith: 89%
K. Fackrell: 32%
R. Gary: 15%

gary's going to be taking khalil frackrell's snaps by mid season.

Is that supposed to make us feel better ?

Every year Leonard remains our DC I feel relieved. We are very lucky Jim Leonard loves living in Madison. I hope they keep giving him the max raise every season so we make it hard to leave for a huge raise

It WAS F'CKIN AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kenny Clark couldn’t beat out Letroy Guion.

I hate defending the pick. I hated it then and not a big fan now, but.... It was a position of strength, but you can never have too many pass rushers. I have said it before; if Gary is nothing more than a 12 sack pass rush specialist his entire career he was worth the pick. Right now he isn't even that. As for Fackrell, he is playing pretty good ball. I was never a fan, but at this point he isn't a bust as a 3rd round pick.

I don't think the Packers pass rush, while improved, is quite world beating yet. Gary was a bet that one ridiculously talented guy would put that unit over the top. I don't have a problem with that plan.

I have more of a problem with the Packers Al Davis-like enthusiasm for athletic freaks and a all too common inability to get them up to speed, so to speak.

But it might have been worse to over estimate their WR talent. You don't need to draft Metcalf to help there. Being realistic about Graham would have helped.
