His PFF grades for Iowa, PSU, Bama and Washington were abysmal, so you're still wrong.
Yeah -- Michigan barely scraped by beating Penn State on the road, OAM at home, Iowa in the B1G title game, Alabama in the CFP semi's and blowing out Washington to win the National Championship. Talk about a hot take.
So single digit wins over a decent PSU team, a below average OSU, and one of Saban's 5 worst teams, all of which came down to the final minutes. A 26 point win over Iowa that was only their third biggest shutout loss of the season because they don't believe in offense. Then a win over Washington, the 2nd worst team to ever make a CFP Final out of 20. Yeah man, that's scraping by.Yeah -- Michigan barely scraped by beating Penn State on the road, OAM at home, Iowa in the B1G title game, Alabama in the CFP semi's and blowing out Washington to win the National Championship.

You've said some really dumb things, but I think you outdid yourself this time
I'm completely fine with Hinton at either Tackle spot. He has issues with elite speed rushers, just like Barnhardt had issues for UM this past year.
I applaud you for at least answering the question. Of course, he graded out horribly against Iowa, Bama, and Washington and didn't face OSU, but at least you answered the question.
The OAM win was pathetic, especially after seeing them get embarrassed by Missouri. But rivalry games, that can happen.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, for the PSU game Hinton was one of the highest graded players on offense. On the line, he was only behind Zinter...
Certainly is odd that a kid only good enough to play at Syracuse was able to guide OSU to more points in Ann Arbor than the current offensive ROY was able to at home with basically the same weapons and a far better OL...
He would excel against OAM, as OAM doesn't have speed at the DE position. It is a big reason why OAM's defense is nowhere near what they were in the past. They don't have a Nick Bosa. They don't have a Joey Bosa. They don't have a Chase Young.
Well that's weird, I thought you said PSU was the only team with EDGE rushers that were too fast for Hinton. How did that happen?
So your offense should have no trouble scoring 30+ again this year, right?
I did not, in fact, say that. And those other grades were not out of line for some of our other starting lineman during those games....so you say he sucked, but graded similarly to other lineman who will likely be drafted? Weird.
No, I was wondering why he got benched and had horrible games against good teams at the end of the year.
You and newphone need to get on the same page then
If by "horrible games" you mean -- graded out similar to other starting lineman on the team you're now saying he can't replace? He isn't Zinter. He's certainly a good startable offensive lineman.
That is what happens when you have a coach who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. That is also why tUM fans LOVE Ryan Day.
Not with those types of performances. At least he'll be good against Maryland I guess.
Did you miss the fact we ran the ball 30+ straight plays?!?! It is because they pulled Barnhardt, put in Hinton and we beat PSU without attempting a single pass in the entire 2nd half.
