Denard Robinson was seen as a potential complement to Forcier.
Right now and always for DRobb it's THE TEAM ! Denard Robinson was seen as a potential complement to Forcier. Submitted by DoctorDave on September 11th, 2010 at 10:12 PM.
LOLThis is ridiculous (Hope Don is right that it was a baited question)So according to that logic, Wisconsin, MSU, and OSU should have had players in New York last year?!?
Denard struggles with physical defenses that have good lateral speed. We should reserve our Heisman talk until next year - as his decisions and playmaking should be much improved. !Don, Thanks for your post!
I agree with your perspective here. Instantly, Denard “Shoelace” Robinson became a fan favorite, and seeing him kneel in the end zone at the end of a play became a familiar sight.
With his shoelaces untied, Robinson initially fumbled the snap, but picked the ball up and zig-zagged to the end zone making half a dozen Western Michigan defenders miss on his way.Instantly, Denard \u201CShoelace\u201D Robinson became a fan favorite, and seeing him kneel in the end zone at the end of a play became a familiar sight.Michigan has elevated the tight end position in terms of importance under Jim Harbaugh, and U-M is looking at several high level tight end prospects in the 2022 class.Tate Forcier was the heralded QB recruit in the 2009 class, a 4-star dual threat with the ability to make plays with both his arm and his feet.
What Robinson had that Forcier didn\u2019t, though, was a type of quickness and speed that fans had never seen from a Michigan quarterback before.Several second-year players are expected to have major roles for Michigan in 2020.Instantly, Denard “Shoelace” Robinson became a fan favorite, and seeing him kneel in the end zone at the end of a play became a familiar sight.RJ Moten is another versatile, athletic and talented player who could see action at several positions.Recently, the NFL Network unveiled its top 100 players, and only two Michigan products were included.After a standout freshman year, running back Jaden Booker landed a scholarship from the Wolverines, a moment that was surreal for the class of 2023 recruit.A moment that no Michigan fan will ever forget, in the first night game in Michigan Stadium history in Sept. 2011, Robinson hit W Roy Roundtree in the corner of the end zone with two seconds left to put the Wolverines ahead of the Fighting Irish and ultimately win the game 35-31. Although Forcier was playing well early in 2009, it didn\u2019t take long for Robinson to catch the attention of Michigan fans. "He runs the ball really tough." In addition, he made a career out of breaking the hearts of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Heisman Forecast: Why Henry could be NY-bound, plus who will rise, fall in Week 2. He also rushed 208 times for 1,163 yards and 16 scores. I think he did what was most important for Michigan this season, i.e. "At the end of the year, because he was healthier and because we were able to some degree take a little relief off him running the ball, he was much more physical and decisive in running the football. Then, laughing: "I'm not a defensive guy, but I like (LSU's Tyrann) Mathieu.The Honey Badger, I like him." But seriously, can we calm down with all the Denard and heisman talk. The idea of "deserving" to be in Heisman consideration when he's not a finalist is a direct contradiction to that philosophy. That's not all, as the buzz surrounding Robinson … They are fast, athletic, and physical. "Denard has the attitude! I think we stuff him again this year, but the bigger threat to his is Alabama. That's why MSU has been so successful against him.
