Michigan practice footage 8-14-09

[zankou39]

i wonder why some of them touch the floor before they go through their rep?

[noswalz]

where's booboo

[MCLballer12]

I know J.T. Turner he went to high school where i live! (I got J.T. Turner and coach Rodriguez's autographs)

[xKEM0x]

Except for Warren's abysmal looking push ups, I thought everything looked pretty good for the DB's

[buckah1234]

Vlad looks huge! and nice to see Warren punishing himself for dropping it!

[SteelCityHero]

JT's hands look huge.

[Amaizenblue86]

Yep

[DaveBirkettAAcom]

I think Gambler hit it. WIlliams and Woolfolk probably start early with Vlad No.3. Warren, Cissoko and Turner would be the top 3 CBs. Turner's got size and looked pretty fluid in some other drills.

Unfortunately we're limited to only 5 minutes total of footage/interviews per practice session so I can only get little snippets to show.

Is #5 Vlad Emilian?

[GamblerLV]

Yes #5 is Vlad The Impaler who by the way has been turning heads with his play, this is a big time player, and great things are expected from him.

[hogeboon19]

It seems as if D-Line, LB, and CB are pretty well secured. Who do you think will be our safeties this year? Is he one of them?

[GamblerLV]

Mike Williams and Troy Woolfolk along with Vlad would be my guess at S.

With D Warren and Bouba along with JT at CB, JT Floyd could also seee some time at CB, BTW Vlad was the only DB who never dropped a pass from this Jug machine.

Numbers for some of the players here are

Vlad is #5

JT Floyd is #12

Justin Turner is #2

Teric Jones is #14

D Warren is #6

JT and Vlad could play both CB and S, they are both that good.

[hogeboon19]

What happened to Brandon Smith? I thought he was supposed to be pretty good.

[GamblerLV]

Brandon has switched to LB, and has to learn the position, and that takes time. I have always had high hopes for him, and still do.

[hogeboon19]

Ahh thanks. So what are your predictions about this year? I get so worried that the other night I had a nightmare that UM lost to Delaware St. lol

[GamblerLV]

LOL calm down, if they stay healthy and don't turn the ball over and they will be fine

[hogeboon19]

Ha. That's exactly what I tell everyone else. Mental issues and injuries really hurt us. Do you see Nick Sheridan getting playing time this year?

[TheAnswer915]

Moved to LB

[Kelm48103]

Wow, I guess its true that defensive backs are wide receivers that can't catch. Ah well, as long as they can get a hand on the ball, i'm happy.

[GamblerLV]

That Jug Machine really fires that football out there. And yes good to see JT in UM gear, he should be in full pads by monday. JT looks taller then i expected..

[kerzha]

GO BLUE!!!

[bluescreen06]

"Im swagging, Im surfing" HaHaHaHa. Its goot to see JT turner practicing with the team now. Go Blue!!
