-Heinrich Haarberg was FULL GO today. No restrictions -Jeff Sims had a good practice, him and HH are splitting reps. Still not 100% by any means -HH brings a more physical run game than Jeff -Josh Fleeks is transitioning from WR to RB - "Today he looked pretty dang good" -"I don't care about stats", cares about WINNING -Need to develop the passing game -The defense allows the offense to relax and find a groove -Heinrich Haarberg "needs to get in shape", he's hyperventilating after big runs -Ron Brown has taken the staff under his wing learning the option -Anthony Grant is still being challenged with ball security -Michigan is coached up very very very well -OL tackles their deficiencies every day -Tommi Hill is super smart, learns the plays very quick -FB Lindenmeyer is growing and gaining confidence, freeing him up

Heinrich Haarberg "needs to get in shape", he's hyperventilating after big runs -Ron Brown has taken the staff under his wing learning the option -Anthony Grant is still being challenged with ball security -Michigan is coached up very very very well -OL tackles their deficiencies every day -Tommi Hill is super smart, learns the plays very quick -FB Lindenmeyer is growing and gaining confidence, freeing him up

Haarberg is not in shape after four games?

I guess Fleeks coming in overweight was just for him to switch to rb lol. He still looks way to skinny for rb.

Embracing the option, savage practice sessions, stingy run D. Sounds more Scarlet and Cream to me.

it was a joke

everyone on Earth breathes hard after sprinting 70+ yards to the endzone or totaling 250 rushing yards in just over 3 quarters
Perhaps a joke, but based on reality. I noticed the same thing in each of the last 2 games, and not only after 70-yard runs.

He wasn't doing anything at WR, maybe he can help at RB.
This. I got the feeling the only way HH was handing the ball to #21 was if they took HH's family hostage and would only release them with a carry by Emmett Johnson. Any other person taken hostage and Satterfield probably let's them die.

So maybe they have enough confidence on Fleeks to actually give him a carry. He wasn't doing anything as a backup receiver. The starting receivers barely get thrown the ball let alone the backups.

The question is whether the staff is going to flesh this option approach out, or just use it as a crutch (that has been wildly successful) on the way to getting more of their playbook in the mix.
