My Offensive grades from yesterday's spring practice

Quarterbacks
Tate Forcier well didn't play as well as I hoped, he had a tendency to look right at the receiver he was going to throw to for forever! From what the volunteers said he was having an off day but all I can say is that I hope he was because he wasn't too hot today. He was really accurate but sometimes miss read what the receiver was doing, he should get better at that come fall though. David looked better than I expected but wasn't anything special he got the ball there, but that's really all that he did. But I still have to say that it was better than what it was last year, but that's not saying much. Overall grade: C+

Running backs
The running backs looked really good yesterday Brandon Minor ran as hard as ever. Carlos Brown showed that he still has that break away threat with a 60 yard run for a touchdown. The guy who was a big surprise to me was a guy like Forcier entered college early, from Florida Vince Smith (#2) has AMAZING agility yesterday he slipped out of a tackle kept running then got sandwiched between 2 defensive players and STILL was running and scored a touchdown! This guy has some serious skill he's only 5'6" or 5'7" but if he stays healthy he's going to be a great one for Michigan.
Final grade: A-

Wide receivers
The wide receivers were okay sometimes they would drop a pass but they were pretty good they had a hard time getting open at times with our corner backs but still made some pretty good catches Greg Mathews made this terrific catch and run for 30-40 yards! But they are about average at this position. Final grade B

Linemen
Let me start off by saying that more than half the reason we had a 3-9 season was because of these guys being inexperienced. But this year they look pretty solid on a lot of the runs during the scrimmage there were really good holes which will be a nice change from last year. There were a couple of plays where there was pressure on the quarterback but nothing major like all of last year. Final grade B+
