Michigan Monday: Fall Camp Opens

Fall camp opens today for Team 133.  Michigan has a very difficult schedule but has a ton of talent including seniors Denard Robinson, Roy Roundtree and JT Floyd.   Don't forget a very talented freshman class as well headlined by the likes of Ondre Pipkins and Kyle Kalis. 

With a bunch of talent sprinkled in with some experince, what types to Camp Questions remain?

• What to do about Alabama?  Is there a good offensive and defensive game plan?  Michigan won the scoreboard at the Sugar Bowl but got out played for most of the game. 

• Fitz?  Will Fitzgerald Toussaint be able to practice during Fall Practice?  Will he miss the Alabama game?  If he does, who is next in line at RB?

• Freshman ready to play?  I have heard that Kyle Kalis is physically ready to play.  Of course he doesn't understand the reads and blocking assignments yet but we could see him getting some early snaps.  Best bet to play early is the guys that enrolled early so keep an eye out for LB Joe Bolden and S Jarrod Wilson. 

• Mix it up Devin!  We know Devin Gardner will be playing WR but how much?  Michigan understands they need to get their best athletes on the field and Devin is clearly one of them.   If you use him a ton he has a greater expsouser to getting hurt.  Is the WR risk worth the reward?  If it is, Big Al feels confident in Russell Helping.

• Who is the 2012 Junior Hemmingway?  We need a big year from Roy Roundtree.  One of the things that stood out to me in the Sugar Bowl was that our wide receivers could not separate themselves from Va Tech's DB's.  Junior just out jumped them. 

 

• Is Denard accurate?  With a year under his belt in Big Al's system can Denard make an RG3 type of jump in his senior year?  He will have plenty of primetime games to display his talents.

• Don't got Molk & Martin?  Is this Big Will's time?  Will PeeWee Pipkins get a lot of early playing time? Will Black have an easy transition from DE to DT? Michigan has question marks on the defensive line and we need a big year from Big Will.  Anyone wish Big Will still had a redshirt year?

• Mattison 2.0:  We will see another big jump from this defense.  They surprised most people last year, will they still be able to improve on that performance?

Those are my main questions going into camp.  Do you have any that I missed?
