Is this really Michigans new playbook?

[TheJustPull]

Yikes. I played one game with the new Michigan playbook in my OD that I started and I already decided I didn't like it. I thought for sure Coach Hoke would have some nice run plays for Robinson in it, but at least in the game there aren't any fancy plays.
I've played around with a few before in last years game and I always liked Oregons and Flordias. This year, I am going to give SMU a shot, they seem to have a well balanced shot gun play book with running formations as well.
I guess I'm just a little confused as to why the plays that are in there are actually in the game.

I don't think hoke would like his plays to be available to everyone to see.

It's pretty much the exact same playbook that was on there for Michigan last year.

Well, the season has not started so nobody knows what Michigan's offense will look like. I would expect our offense too have different wrinkles playbook wise next year. Not much EA can do but attach SDSU's playbook from last year considering Hoke has not coached a game at Michigan. Might want to hold off on your assumption.

Hahahaha I chuckled.

The last I heard Borges wants to bring in more drop back passes to the offense, and more power running. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he was scheming with the Eagles O.C. on how to implement such things with an explosive QB under center.

My guess is that they will go to this style a bit more, but still keep in designed run plays for Denard and the open-field type plays for the scat back style players RRod brought in.

They want to ensure Denard will be healthy for the course of the season, so my guess would be they want to keep his carries down but have him still be a force with his legs whilst learning how to become more of an effective pocket passer.

No it's not. Michigan's offense is not going to be like last year. Less spread.

There's custom playbooks now, you can put in as many QB-run plays as you want, OP.
