  • Love This Podcast Until Now

    I have loved listening to this podcast and especially Jon’s inside knowledge of football and particularly the Michigan program! I’m disappointed and amazed however how you have failed to address one of the biggest stories in Michigan’s football history and currently in all of college football. How is it possible you have remained silent on the firing of Sheronne Moore, the search for a new coach and how this has impacted the program and particularly individual players leading up to the Citrus Bo... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Defend the Block 386 - Mike Boynton Jr.
Q: From the time you got here to now, what have been the biggest strides to keep the temperature the same and stay balanced as a group?
The core program structure and leadership from Dusty, along with an elite, ego-less staff who execute a shared plan, have helped maintain balance and adaptability even as the roster evolves and the season progresses.
Defend the Block 386 - Mike Boynton Jr.
Q: Now that you're a champion as a coach, has your life, has your mindset changed at all?
The mindset has become more conviction-driven in discussions and beliefs, but day-to-day work and how they operate remains largely the same, focusing on the team over individual accolades and maintaining core principles.
In the Trenches 586 - Zack Marshall & Freddie Whittingham
Q: How does the tight end room fit into the new offense, given there are no transfers and a mix of different body types?
The room is versatile, capable of blocking in space, run blocking, and receiving; the system is built to exploit each player's strengths while maintaining overall cohesion and simplicity.
In the Trenches 586 - Zack Marshall & Freddie Whittingham
Q: What does this offense look like with multiple pieces and a potentially multiple-usage tight end room?
The offense adapts by clustering players who can do things really well and designing concepts around their strengths, allowing for two backs, two tight ends, or various personnel groupings to maximize matchup advantages.
Conqu'ring Heroes 201 - Zach Barlow
Q: With your experience in the Big Ten as a player and now a coach, what bumps do freshmen face and how do you help them adapt?
He discusses golf maturity, managing expectations, and the different pace of fall seasons, stressing face-to-face coaching, honest feedback, and gradual adjustments to keep players in an offensive mindset while remaining adaptable.
