I mean we’ve seen first hand what happens when a more mobile QB is thrown into an anemic pro style offense. Sure Patterson is a dynamic talent, but the problems with Michigan’s offense run deeper than QB IMO. I hope you are right. From what I saw of Michigan last year, their QBs were terrible. I was looking forward to our new defense pressuring the Michigan QBs into throwing interceptions, but this new QB seems to be a big improvement. Quote Link to comment
brophog Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Michigan did make several coaching changes, and obviously Patterson is intriguing, but is Harbaugh still the ultimate issue with that offense? Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Michigan is gonna see at least 1 QB transfer since QBs nowadays don't like to sit around and wait to start. Shea Patterson Jr .9982 5* Brandon Peters RSo .9864 4* Dylan McCaffery RFr .9435 4* Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Has there been any news on Dixon's eligibility this fall? Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Celebration worthy. Defense needs all the help it can get and he provides some much needed competition and depth. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Is he a projected starter? I didn't really pay attention to him during the spring game or the practice reports. Quote Link to comment

He isn’t quite big enough to be an every down player right now, but he could be a very good situational pass rusher from the OLB spot. 2 Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Great news! I would think he would have major value in coverage too. Probably a bigger asset against some of the uptempo opponents we face rather than the grinders like Wisconsin and Iowa. 2 Quote Link to comment

Probably a bigger asset against some of the uptempo opponents we face rather than the grinders like Wisconsin and Iowa. Good point about his value in coverage. He was a safety at Ole Miss, so he is used to being in coverage. My guess is that he will be a hybrid backer who blitzes some times and stays out in coverage at times. His amount of PT will also depend on the opponent, like you mention. 2 Quote Link to comment

He has an off season to put on 10 pounds to be in the same range as that beast in this defense Quote Link to comment
