Jake Butt breaks down Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week Kyle Monangai's running game in a win over Virginia Tech. Great Video!
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
I was saying afrter the game that VT had issues with edge contain on their right side. I suspect RU knew that because they made money over there all game.
Monangai is a good blocker. He doesn't just get in the way - he hits like a bowling ball

Just ask that Northwestern rusher whom Kyle absolutely trucked over.
I just can't get over how there's been no recognition for the blocking by Langan in that first touchdown run. He takes out TWO VT defenders on the outside so Monangai can run behind him. Jackson also does a good job taking out another defender in that same hole.
Without knowing how you feel about NJ.com...
Rutgers TE Johnny Langan thriving in role that requires ‘pure aggression’
Rutgers' tight ends have excelled as blockers this season. As pass catchers? Not so much, at least not yet.

Paywall so most don't see it.
Jake Butt has really become an excellent analyst, even if he is a Michigan guy.

Paywall.
Cliff notes?
Jackson misses the first blitzing DB badly, but then makes up for it in effort.
The other thing I see is how the OL is performing as a unit. I get it, they have not faced Michigan yet but...
Watching their schemes, timing, follow through and no penalties- Michigan will really have to beat them this year rather than it be like facing a HS OL.
Agree with Langan and WR blocking.
KM making great reads and wow- his blocking alone will get him on an NFL roster. The block on the GW TD may have even been better than the one against NWU. The one against NWU was a no brainer who he had to get and it was coming at him and he attacked that guy- but the one on the GW play- so many things going on, it is down field a few yards and KM had to identify and be the guy that makes the hit. Beautiful play.

I would go that far. He was not expecting a blitz and at least got a little push on him.
Jake Butt was on the Scarlet Faithful podcast with Aaron B. and not only did he give some interesting thoughts/analysis on the match-up but he also provided some excellent break-down of Kirk C's offensive play-calling. Give it a watch if you like:
I sat in front of his then girlfriend and she kept cheering for Michigan players by first name which was annoying. Not sure why.
Then we got a first down and a guy in front of me yelled F##k Yeah and she then told her mother that he was yelling at her. So I had to explain that he was from NJ and couldn't care less about her. Also Jake Butt did a good job as an analyst.
Because he’s not catching touchdowns .
That’s what some people only see
