ND VS. MICHIGAN Pre-Game Thoughts
OK–lets talk straight about this ND team. I was not overly impressed about the ND defense–particularly OLB ‘S –Darius Fleming and Prince Shembo nor was I impressed with Johnson or Moore.
Third and long I would play Tuitt and Lynch with Niklas on the outside.
We all heard about how dynamic Fleming would be–never shows up on Saturday–must be great practice player-just impress the coaches.
Predict before year is out–4 man DL with ends Tuitt and Lynch and tackles Nix & Cynmar.
As currently constituted the defense will collapse vs Robinson. Finally blasphemy-Teo not a dominant LB and needs to vastly improve–he can’t cover a TE any better than Calabrese or Fox. Carlo had that TE covered –turn around–look in eyes—but what the hell were the Safties doing. I would like to see Teo dominate like Katsomyer and Hawk did at Ohio State.
Finally Kelly demeanor–can understand his frustration–but no need to act like a maniac– all you have to do IS BENCH the guy. Put Toma in.
Now the OL –when it really counted in red zone–stuffed– replay the infamous fumble.
They have to pass in red zone–I still don’t buy this OL.
