Welcome back inside the Ann Arbor Studios of the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com. Coming up in, it's Thursday. So, of course, coming up next hour, we'll get to the top dog of the week with the Humane Society. Humane Society if you're on Valley here on the Big 1050 WTK. And then for the 9 o'clock hour, of course, the MGoBlog Roundtable joins us here on the show talking Michigan football. as we are 16 days away

until the start of the Michigan

Something that I GoBlog Roundtable joins us here on the show talking Michigan football as we are 16 days away

0:21.9

until the start of the Michigan football season.

0:24.4

Something that as I was listening to Jordan Marshall and listening to that conversation,

0:27.9

he was talking in that second part that we just played the, he was going through the depth

0:32.8

and he was talking about rotating through the guys in the defensive line.

0:35.5

He was talking about being scary good and the depth of the team

0:39.1

and the excitement that he was having for his,

0:43.3

the exact quote was, scary team we have, the short version of it anyway.

0:47.0

And it got me thinking kind of if I rank position group by position group

0:51.0

for quarterback, running back, wide receiver, et cetera, et cetera,

How would I go from most confident in that group to least confident in that group?

1:03.5

And the thing is that it's kind of as I started doing that.

So that's one that we do have a question mark about. and then I'm trying to figure out where to put my questions about quarterback because we know what we have there.

1:12.2

It's just a matter of it's a freshman. But I'm going to go to the top of the list, Sam, the position that I am most confident going into the start of the Michigan football season, as long as he stays healthy, is kicker. But that's just because Dominic Zavad is the man. And like, let's just give credit where credit is due. He has set records, right?

1:28.3

He is the man. And like, let's just give credit where credit is due. He has set records, right? He is the most, he's the best kicker we've seen it all really a long time. So I think we can all put him in his own category. And then it gets to this conversation that you actually had with Jordan Marshall. He was rolling through talking about the death of the team, and that's what led to this conversation.
