Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Wolverine 24-7 podcast, your audio source for all things, Michigan football, basketball, and recruiting.

I'm your host, Zach Shaw. Steve Lorenz here with me.

So we are kicking off a special preview series heading into the 2021 football season.

We are taking a look at every position group separately, so you don't have to sit through

an hour to hear our thoughts on every position group. Instead, these are episodes designed to be 15

minutes. We're going to run through, kind of just go around the horn, basically. Each episode

looks at one position group, so it's a little bit more focused.

Hopefully, hopefully you guys like it.

When we do it, we're going to look at the depth at each position group, the biggest

strength, the biggest weakness.

Maybe it's some, maybe the biggest question if it's different than biggest weakness.

And then we're each going to take, make one bold prediction for the position group this

season.

So first off, naturally, as these things go, is, is quarterback.

Plenty of talk we've already, I mean, I think even last episode, we talked about how much Cade McNamara has

taken control of the quarterback room. It's not as much of a quarterback battle this season,

as much as it is just fall camp. It's about preparing the quarterback. So there are pros and

cons to that. I think this year it makes a lot of sense to let Cade McNamara start with the job.

Numerous accounts seem to hint that he has lived up to that, you know, that opportunity.

I think Steve, you and I were in agreement, probably 85, 90% chance in our opinion that Cade McNamara's starting week one.

So in that sense of depth, it's easy.

I think there might be a slight position battle for the number two spot.
