BREAKING: Davis Warren is Expected to Start vs Fresno State

all right John Alex orgy Davis Warren a lot of drama going on here uh Sam web hit people with uh and I won't say exactly what he said because it is behind the pay wall and I respect that 247 but he did hit his uh his subscribers with the thought that could be Davis Warren starting this Sunday and maybe the starter position is not all the way figured out but uh if he had toh say which way it was leaning he thinks it's leaning a little bit more Warren right now I've been a assuming it's orgy the entire off season just because of what he brings with his legs and how much Chiron Moore is going to want to probably run this offense on the ground more than in the air however things are looking a little bit different there uh what are your thoughts John oh well um so I was the one back in January February I had to I had to open my big mouth and I had to say I thought Davis Warren was going to be a depth guy I I didn't I just didn't see him breaking through to that degree um man I don't think I've been wrong or about a take uh Davis Warren will be the starting quarterback tomorrow yeah um from all accounts and I have that from multiple sources in the media and uh we even have one uh you know other source uh even deeper that is confirming that it's it's Davis Warren at this point and um Alex org is goingon to play but but I'm gonna explain kind of what happened so Alex orgy was uh was set up to be the starting quarterback going back to the last year uh so even even in those final games they were drawing up packages for him to kind of get him acquainted with really big game situations because the the Assumption was going to be that he would be the new starting quarterback JJ would go to the NFL that was pretty much gonna happen uh JJ they pretended that JJ was really thinking about it but JJ was not really JJ knew he was gonna go first round and get first round draft money uh hope he hope he recovers fast by the way for that um but uh but so Alex orgy was was ahead in Spring he took the he was the first one out there in the spring game um and he was treated like the starter then it continued into fall Davis Warren surged Davis Warren has been the better passer Alex orgy of course better at running and overall athleticism versatility but the past discrepancy um this week it really took a turn for Davis Warren even more where where I'm hearing that he was hitting the high 80s in completion percentage and this is not against uh you know dummies this isn't against uh nobody this is against the Michigan defense that he's going high 80s the ones and I'm sure that there there was a mix of you know rotation and some twos in there too but still even the twos are better than most a lot of teams ones so the bottom line is if he's going high 80s you can't keep him off the field um he will be your starting quarterback uh and then as far as Alex orgy he's gonna play too and and believe me like he he will be utilized in packages not just to run but also to pass there will be RPO and and packages with him and I do not think it is completely completely solidified for good I I think Alex orgy and Davis they are going to continue to evaluate this and if if things flip because we know that there are some quarterbacks that are just amazing in practice when it gets to real games against Real opponents sometimes the moment's too big so it's very very possible that Alex orgy could still start but as of game one snap one Davis Warren is the starting quarterback and I think that's only a good thing for Michigan I was even talking to some Buckeyes about it and they were like we were hoping it was gonna be orgy because David Warren looked like a better passer uh even in the spring game and so um some Buckeyes were actually upset at the news that it was going to be Davis Warren so uh so that's always a good sign too but but I'm upset the other way because I I really thought that Alex zgy provided a versatility um that the defense would have to would have to always have a spy so the defense would always have to have a spy out plus they would have to factor in the the run the regular running backs plus they would have to they would have to factor in coulston Loveland and Marlon Klein on tight ends the receiving game um at least a short medium pass receiving game and that versatility is tough to defend against and Davis sworn doesn't have the legs and we know that like he doesn't of of Alex orgy but like it's not even close so the fact that he was such a better passer that it was just impos and Alex or was throwing picks um just that again you know inconsistent on the pass game and so they they made the call um and and you you know we got to just trust uh Kirk Campbell and Chiron Moore's evaluation that Davis Warren is flat out better right now and I was really wrong and I've got a clown nose coming and and Tuesday I will have the clown nose on and give my uh give my you know own up to the own up to the takes um but good for Davis man he has had he was a walk-on he battled and beat cancer um and he was a very highly touted recruit coming out of of high school but obviously just had a lot of life situations that he was battling and some inconsistency in games and he thought through it to his credit and he won the job according to everything I'm hearing yeah I was looking up some of his recruiting stuff earlier because I saw somebody say he was a fourstar and I couldn't find very much did he get cancer while he was in high school and then that's why he walked on to Michigan or how did that are you aware with how that worked yeah so I don't I don't really I think it it was um yeah so it was a junior year of high school um that he was diagnosed and so um so so he was dealing with this even even back in high school he had to reclassify so he reclassified to the class of 21 and then he uh he became a preferred walk-on uh for the Wolverines so he's been in the program um since since 21 then he started having some more game some a little bit of action in 22 he was placed on scholarship after that um you know and he's he's battled and to his corre um he's battled and he's uh he's he's won the job so uh you know he's had to face a lot more adversity than than people even double his age so it's a it's a good story yeah well and I mean shows perseverance and all that stuff I mean even if you're looking at this and you're saying who's more talented I mean you have to believe in all respect to Alex orgy I'm not trying to say anything against me but you have to say the heart of this Davis Warren kid I mean it's just it's up there and uh he I mean he has to be a fantastic culture fit for this Michigan team he's been there since the 2021 season and that's when Michigan has had uh the bulk of their success lately and now he's you know coming in with uh with shiron Moore his first year so we'll see how it goes I still think Alex orgy would fit that offense better but I don't know maybe Kurt Campell is going to run some things different I mean I I would just think that with a running offense you could do so much more read option you could do so so much more trying to confuse the opponent with a quarterback that's able to run I mean I all respect to Davis war in the world but he is nowhere near the athlete or the threat that Alex or orgy would be on the ground and you would think that this Michigan team especially with how much Shon Moore talks about smash smash smash and what he brought to the table as as a offensive coordinator you'd think their identity would be on the ground enough that you would rely on that but I mean Davis Warren must have just been that much better yeah uh keep in mind that Alex org's going to play and he's going to play more than he did at the end of last year we saw him in for brief periods in big games you're gonna see I I mean I'm not saying it's GNA be every other but but he's gonna have a red zone guy is that what you would think Red Zone Red Zone guy um kind of like how they were using like a like tesm Hill at the Saints um you know as a in the in the quarterback role plus the tight end role um you could see Alex orgy playing some like other positions uh he he did line up at other positions uh last year at various points so um I think they're going to utilize they believe that Alex orgy is one of the 11 um or 12 best offensive players that they have so he's gonna he's gonna see time and he might see time at a a variety of positions I think they'll keep the really fun stuff for for you guys for uh for Ohio State probably see all kinds of of trickeration there um uh but uh you know if they if they're if they're willing to have a linebacker uh throw the ball then anything's possible right uh so so uh but but but yeah no they're both gonna play but Davis Warren is is gonna be the uh at least for game one he's the starting quarterback that's what I'm hearing yeah well congrats to him man I mean it's a it's a fantastic story you just hope it ends well for him and you know they don't have some kind of situation where he loses a job or something like that because you know you love the story and you love to for to be able to make that a part of his career and everything going on there so some of these comments some of these comments man I just I gotta I gotta respond to some of this what the FAU stuff oh not just that I mean there's a lot of comments about our our topic here which one so um well let's start with let's start with Mr Brian the Buckeye Meyers here uh I love Brian be be easy on him I like Brian not trying to be insulting here but Michigan seems like a oneman offense it's Edwards or bust for them this year uh yeah you need to watch Michigan Wolverines live where we where we carefully explain every position group and why that's extremely inaccurate um Edwards has has worked on his game he has bulked up a lot this off season and the reason is because he's going to be taking some of those reps that Blake horm was taking um and in in the short run game right so there is going to be Edward utilization there it's not just going to be maulings in short short yard situations but um to say that it's a oneman offense I um it's like you're you're you're acting like it's like ruter as off ruter is a one-man offense with mangi that's a one-man offense um uh Michigan has coulston lovelin returning six foot five going to be the obvious receiving option they're even drawing him out at The X position apparently various various uh deep passing routes um so they're trying him out at the exposition you've got Tyler Morris coming back who is able to outrun Alabama at multiple points in the the game against Alabama um so you've got in addition to Edwards you got you got plenty of others that are going to be uh are going to be making plays in the game yeah it'll be interesting to see the way the offense runs this year I think Coulson leveland I think they're going to do a lot of interesting stuff with him I mean he's he's 65 and athletic as athletic as I'll get out there's a tight end behind him Max um Klein Klein James just put than you James uh Max CL is second and then breson is the like the the top fullback slash blockt the HB kind of guy um yeah I mean Max Klein he I think he's going to do some interesting stuff this season I think that he has uh some more time under his belt he understands the offense a little bit more and they'll do things with him I'm interested to see what happens with samage uh samage Morgan and what he is able to do kind of was piece year I think he's for Michigan if they want to be a to spread it out and rely on him on the outside and in the slot it's just the way things are operating so I if I am looking at it is kind of like what have people proven it does kind of seem like Donovan Edwards star player most proven guy uh and it's hard it's it's hard to figure out a way to have your tight end be like your star feature player to do that kind of stuff but I mean Shon Moore has done things that I never really thought would be all that interesting before he he made an offense that had seven offensive lineman out there do some interesting things with the way they're able to pull the offensive line of stuff so if anybody can do it we'll see if shiron moorean um but I I I'm a Believer in in these two uh Michigan tight ends that they're going to be very interesting yeah my bad I uh I didn't mention kleene but um you you know Kirk Campbell said that Marlon kleene actually was better than coulston lovelin in some and we actually have reported that uh a week soon a week before that broke but but that you know Kurt Campbell said U that he has he's actually better than than coulston leveland in some areas uh with respect to maybe some of the speed and and some of what he's able to do so uh so Klein is is great I didn't even mention my guy Fred Moore I was on the Fred more trained before anybody and I said he was going to be the starter everyone else said no it's going to be a Marian Walker no no no no it's going to be Fred Moore taking that Exposition kind of kind of splitting some time with Colston Loveland and amarian walker uh but but Fred Moore won out because of his speed his speed is really good if you watched film you've watched the spring games you've watched when he's played um he's able to just outrun opponents and uh and and create that separation so um yeah there's just so much talent on the offense you just you miss people sometimes but uh but and somebody asked about the o line too I'm happy to touch on that you came really fast I know Evan link is probably the right tackle starter and probably left tackle is the is the center UPS is the center position still going this is the breaking news uh so it was it was crippin and the last couple of days gichi uh has uh I'm probably screwing that name up but gichi apparently is starting uh tomorrow he has he has won the he's one out um in in Camp and I said krippin was barely holding on but I still had him as starter as of Tuesday but it is looking like uh uh godich is taking it so you you've got your line pretty solidified now but uh but those are who you know Evan link winning the job as a sophomore is huge that just doesn't happen at Michigan he didn't he didn't play it all last year either I mean it's not like he played four games that red shirted I don't think he took a single snap last year right I don't think not at all yeah and and freshman and like underclassman like freshman sophomores rarely play um at Michigan at o line because it's such an elite unit it's such an elite position group for Michigan that it tends to be seniors graduates um TR graduate transfers it get a sophomore being able to beat um Gentry and Percy for that role and Percy's been waiting waiting waiting years and years and years and he might be the sixth the sixth lineman or might maybe in some of the six or seven lineman sets he'll be in there but uh but yeah Evan link I am super impressed with his ability to win out at right tackle very impressive for a sophomore to come in and uh do that I believe he red shirted last year too because he didn't play so red shirt freshman uh to be able to do that you're going to have at least two years of him which will be good for them um John
