Congrats on getting banned again.
And it wasn't just handful of plays, that little smurf got beat like he stole something all game long.
Besides, that wasn't the point I was trying to make.

He looked bad in the game, because he played in a style of defense that is not suited to him. Boubacar's best ability is to jam up recievers at the line of scrimmage and run with him. He has the speed and strength to do that. However in the US Army AA Game, you can't press cover any WRs. You had to stay in a base Cover 2 or Cover 3 look. In High School he was a physical in your face corner and never played zone. So when he got to the AA game, he played in a defense that's not suited to him and understandably he looked bad. It's kinda like asking 5'9 170 speed RB to pound it up the middle 30 times a game. Their just not suited for it.
At Michigan he's going to be on the line of scrimmage all the time bumping WRs, in a defense more suited to his ability. Sure I was disappointed that Cissoko didn't do good in zone coverage in that game, but I knew: 1) He was a defense not suited for him and biased towards the offense 2) He's going to be playing in a defense that stresses different things then what he had to play in in the AA Game. It was just part of that game. He'll be fine here at Michigan.

As usual, you bring up valid points. My backhand of SNIPER was due more to his recent antics of simply arguing against anyone making comments against UM players/recruits.

The AA game does favor the offense considerably, however I'm not sure Cissoko would succeed checking Floyd at the line.

Thank you, that's actually something I try not to do lol. I read this thread whenever somebody posts and laugh at things sometimes, but I have to always remember this is an Ohio State board so I just refrain from saying anything. I just try to keep it positive.

That's one of the few problems I think Cissoko will have. His greatest strength is jamming a WR up at the line and a big flanker might negate it. However in Army All American practice vs 6-6 208 DeAndre Brown he dogged him the whole week of practice, winning many of the 1 on 1 battles. On the few occasions Brown avoided the jam Cissoko stuck to him, so I'm not sure what to believe in my assessment of him. I think maybe the perfect type of WR, with a big body (6-3 200 or so) and great speed (4.4 or better) will give him problems, but he'll be able to hold his own in college. A name you guys should be well acquainted with, Antoine Winfield is the best comparison for Cissoko. Similar bodies at 5'9 180 for Winfield and 5'8 171 for Cissoko, physical, great speed, and their both not afraid to hit.

To be clear, it wasn't the contrary opinion but the tone that gets people into trouble. HailtoMichigan spent weeks stubbornly defending Rodriguez with opinions that baffled many OSU fans, but he kept it pretty civil throughout, and so there was no complication.

Then I look forward to him turning in a lights out game in 3 years which no one notices (outside of scouts), as the opposing team clinches a victory, rose bowl berth, & a heisman
