    Show was solid when it was Sam with a hint of Ira every couple days. Seems like he’s the whole show now… and it’s brutal

    Great content guys, but you continue to not address your audio situations. It’s been years. Crazy bad production.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

008 - Block Cancer Month with Kyle Kipke 102926
Q: When should people start getting colonoscopies, and how often should they get them?
Kipke says screening recommendations have changed and advises that people with a cancer history consider screening earlier. Based on what he has read, he recommends an annual colonoscopy from age 35, though the hosts do not verify this advice.
008 - Block Cancer Month with Kyle Kipke 102926
Q: What was the experience of being recognized on the field like?
Kipke says he was nervous but excited, and especially valued having his family with him, including his new granddaughter and a framed picture of his late son.
006 - Sam Webb, Al Borges, Ron English conclude the Michigan Football breakdown seg4 103026
Q: What are your man beater concepts that are realistic to implement? What is your strategy for attacking quarters, and what does your baseline play action menu look like?
Borges suggests a few play-action shots against quarters coverage, more layered routes and man-beating crossing concepts, plus selective quarterback runs and wider formations for naked bootlegs. He also recommends considering a wedge play and a lead G near the goal line.
006 - Sam Webb, Al Borges, Ron English conclude the Michigan Football breakdown seg4 103026
Q: From your film study, does the offense have any four or five wide receiver sets they believe in? Are we just a one trick rhino?
Borges says Michigan uses 11 personnel frequently and has some 10-personnel looks, but often keeps a tight end or rhino on the field. He says the team has a range of groupings and can use them as needed.
003 - Sam Webb, Al Borges, Ron English conclude the Michigan Football breakdown seg1 103026
Q: What do you think about giving more staff members input into offensive planning and play-calling, and about coaches calling people outside the program for advice?
Borges and English support broad staff input and seeking advice from outside coaches. Borges recounts how Ron Caragher suggested using more fast offense during a scoring slump, a change followed by three straight wins. English says coaches should encourage staff members to offer their views.
