Heaven forbid somet...the TEAM, the TEAM, the TEAM!<br /><br />Heaven forbid something happens to Tate, I would actually be comfortable having Denard split time with Sheridan. He looked much improved against WMU. If not for that holding penalty, he would have scored too. Instead he threw an ill advised pass, and is apparently the goat again in the eyes of the casual football fan. What he DID do is convert a fourth down, rush for a TD, completely fool a defensive end with a stellar ballfake, and ran the offense deftly. Bravo nick sheridan, bravo.GregGoBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11492205497063889306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601570846052634662.post-22199984170727664002009-09-09T19:29:36.353-07:002009-09-09T19:29:36.353-07:00First of all, how are you posting freely on this b...First of all, how are you posting freely on this blog?<br /><br />Second of all, I will also stand up and defend Nick Sheridan. <br /><br />In 2008 circumstance shoved Sheridan into the spotlight. It is certainly not a position he probably ever expected to be in but through everything he carried himself exceptionally well. He appeared to be the leader on an otherwise rudderless ship. He never whined or moaned to the media about the crappy team around him (essentially a new offensive line, a freshman running back - McGuffie - and his primary target much of the year - Martavious Odoms - was also a freshman).<br /><br />Steven Threet never appeared to be a leader but Sheridan never shied from taking that role on. He played with confidence even when his ability lagged far behind. <br /><br />There are no moral victories in athletics, people are judged on real wins and losses. But you've got to feel for a kid who stepped up everytime he was called upon, who always looked like he wanted the ball. <br /><br />I applauded Rich Rod when he put Sheridan in against WMU during a 4th and 1. You can't insert a freshmen there or someone whom you don't feel confident about. I thought that substitution spoke volumes about the respect the coaching staff had for Sheridan's nerves.<br /><br />I thought Sheridan deserved the start against WMU even if it was just a courtesy to start the senior. That obviously did not happen and probably will not happen the entire year. <br /><br />I think real Michigan fans can look at Sheridan and be proud of a guy who never gives up and always gives his all for the TEAM.MKazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356973382370519984noreply@blogger.com
