Don't be surprised if...

0:00I think you're up there kid. It is Carson Anderson and Stoney is in for Anderson today. He said Justin Verland or themed food items for the two day things. How about 35 cent dogs? Oh, I like the way you're thinking. That would be good. 35 cent beer. That would be dangerous. How about fall off the bone hamstrings? Wow. Wow. By the way, I picked up the stats for wins. Active pictures. Yep. JV's 266. Mac sure is or age 41 222. Garrett Call 161 age 35 and Sonny Gray 141 age 36. There's not a chance that anybody pitching today is going to get to where Verlander is. That's the standard. Look, we make this bad. It's going to take years.

1:10See ups. See ups. See ups. Oh, the way I live, who knows, fell mop or down. I might have to get a delivery. I think what do you have a lunch or chick for lay on this? Yeah, sure. We just made like a 20-year back. Exactly. What about this is going to be collecting in 2046. All right, so this story, we found it kind of interesting and fun. It's a I'll be 87. I'm I'm I have faith in it. Yeah. ESPN's Dan Graziano did a prediction for every team and he phrased it. The phraseology was don't be surprised if that that that and we'll tell you what it was for the Lions. But we want yours for the coming football season. We are on the brink people. Michigan Stateplace tomorrow. Michigan plays in two days. Lions play in what nine days, 10 days. So and if you want to go central

2:12western Eastern, if you're a fan of one of those schools, let's go. If you're a fan of grand valley or Saginaw Valley or Wayne State or Ferris, let's go. Don't be surprised if make a prediction about your team. But what Dan Graziano wrote for the Lions and I want you to take on this, Michael. Don't be surprised if Jamison Williams is the team's leading receiver. He writes, what I'm hearing, no disrespect to Amon Ross St. Brown, one of the most consistent past catchers in the entire league. But I think the Lions offense is going to hum this season. And Williams is poised to take the biggest leap for a few years now. The coaching staff has been pushing Williams to expand his route repertoire and contribute as more than just a deep threat. And in Drew Petzings offense, Williams can be poised to do just that. Lions schedule of opposing defenses sets up well for Williams. And if he proves himself to be a trustworthy target for Jerrogoff, he could be in for a career year. Well, I think I would buy it if it was

3:14yardage because I think that's going to happen. But as far as actual receptions, I think the Almanra is going to get more catches. Yeah. And in the Laporta factor and it comes to number of receptions. Last year, Almanra had almost twice as many catches as Jamison Williams. 117 to 65. The difference in yardage was only 300 yards. Jamoy average 17.2 yards per catch. Almanra 12. But that is, you know, so it would be a big leap, a big leap for him to catch him in receptions. But what would you have for any of these teams that don't be surprised if the Lions don't be surprised if Kirby Joseph never plays a game ever again. Yeah. Given the vagueness of this injury, it's quite possible. And it sucks because he's, you know, he was such a good player, man. It was

4:23such a good player. What I'm fearful is that he rushed back and did more damage, which is always the, you know, a concern. That's just me spitballing. I'm not reporting that. But yeah, I wouldn't be shocking. Mine would be, don't be surprised if Skyler Gil Howard has a monster year in the middle of that defensive line. I just think he is such a, his unique skill set and his motor is incredible. It's like he's too small to block and he's great. And I'm screaming hit the nail in the head in that preseason game. And the more I watch, the more he was right, moving north south, but turning your shoulders east west to slip between blocks. He's, he's just slippery to get a hold of. Uh, for Michigan, don't be surprised if this is a vintage dominant Michigan offensive line. The returning group, all of them have started. They have 54 combined starts. When it comes to all

5:23things offensive line, I acquiesced to Janssen. Janssen thinks this gym hearting the new offensive line coach is great. He's got an awesome reputation. Additionally, they brought in Doug Elisaya. There's a strength and conditioning coach and every, I mean, Whit always talks about how they had to get stronger, had to get stronger. And their weight gains in the off season were significant. And I don't think, and it was across the board. But I think the place it will show the most is upfront experience. Everybody started great, a line coach, another year of putting on weight with a, with a express purpose to do. So I think this Michigan offensive line has a chance to be great. Don't be surprised if Michigan loses the overall turnover margin for the season, but still has a good record. Interesting. You're predicting, why are you predicting the turnover margin? I just don't think their defense of back, especially the linebackers,

6:24we're going to be able to create as many turnovers. And I think underwood's going to make some mistakes. He's not going to be bad, but he stole a young quarterback. I mean, to me, last year was just basically complete wash. He's in a completely new system. He's coached and he'll still make some mistakes. So yeah, it's, it's going to be interesting because I think they've tempered expectations a little bit by finishing almost every, every conversation about underwood is we'll see if it translates. See when the lights go on, can he, and it's a fair question. It's taking it from State Street to Main Street, which is the practice facility in the field. And there are examples of in the past Michigan quarterbacks who've looked great in practice, won the starting job and killed it. And the biggest one was John O'Connor. John O'Connor, they said, was great in practice, but it's you get into games and things change. Well, Joe Milden could throw 80 yards from

7:28his knees. Right. I don't know if that is anything to do with anything. They made a big deal about it. The corners coach, I got to find this stat because you mentioned the turnover margin thing. The, the corners coach came from BYU. I think I got this right. Genaro Gelford. And he, his, his secondaries, I got to find the stat. Make sure I got it right. Yeah, 22 picks in 2024 led the country. So, you know, they, they, they, mission is being played some pretty damn good quarterbacks this year. Yes, they are. And you know, they, they've got guys who can cover. Jair Hills, the best in man. They like to seek Barry, the best in zone coverage. Rod Moore's back. Rod Moore's back. Smith Snowden is probably going to be your slot corner. Although they can move them all around. They love Shimari Earl. So that's up the odds. And interesting prediction. We'll see. But you're right. They're playing a lot of good quarterbacks. 2485 3997 97. Don't be surprised if

8:31what he got, Michigan, Michigan state. You got one for the Spartans. Yes, I do. Cam Edwards will have more yards than both. Bo Jackson, Ohio state and Jordan Marshall, Michigan. Wow. I'm not going to say he's going to be Kenneth Walker III, but he's going to be really good. Well, Patrick Sherrod said he thinks he can be the best back in the country. And if you're going to be the best back in the country, you have to exceed the totals of Bo Jackson and Jordan Marshall. Yeah, I won't go that far. But I think, you know, I think Michigan state's offensive line is going to be better than people think too. Oh, I would suspect it's going to be better. And it wasn't your. Yeah. Yeah. Can you got any? Don't be surprised ifs. Yeah. Don't be surprised if San LaPorta has a thousand yards receiving this year. And I know that that's going to meet. I think I feel like that's going to surprise people because he was so injured last year. And he didn't play as much. But don't forget, jukeheading and Tramik bride. You know, I know they're probably force of, you know, force Tramik bride, the ball more over in Arizona than they would have to over here. But San LaPorta is, I think he has a lead tight end skill and he can be an all

9:32pro type tight end. They're going to spread the ball around a little bit more than people think. And San LaPorta, I think, is going to be the receiving end of a lot of that spreading, you know, spreading the ball around a little bit. I think Jamel and ASB, they're going to eat the slot receiver Tesla. I don't know if he's ready for that leap that we all hope yet. And guess who's going to benefit from that? San LaPorta. When San LaPorta plays the lines just win more, plain and simple. I think he's going to be an important part of their game plan every single week. He's also playing for a contract. You know, that is for contract years and players looking for that next contract. I think LaPorta shows out this year and he has a huge year. 248-539-9797. Don't be surprised if make a prediction for your favorite football team in our state. It is Carson Anderson here on 90-someone.
