Michigan Tuesday: Is It Time For Hinton and Smith?

Yes, it sounds like a law or maybe a consulting firm, but is it time to start seeing more of the combined 9 stars true freshman DT's Chris Hinton and Mazi Smith?

Jimmy and Don think so.   Jimmy did his regular press conference on Monday and it was all pretty much of the standard stuff: Joe has a live arm, Iowa is consistently good, McGrone and Paye played well, Carlo Kemp lives football, Nico had strep throat last week, and that he loves the entire Glasgow family.

The news worthy bits were the following:

  • Dylan is expected to practice this week but continues to be doubtful for Sunday (that is Jimmy talk for out).   Same goes for Josh Ross. 

  • Jimmy believes that both Chris and Mazi are close to being able to contribute more on game days. 
“Mazi looks really good," Harbaugh said. said. "Just what he’s done with his physique in the last nine months. Talked to him this morning at our morning practice and he looked great. Chris Hinton is getting in there quite a bit and playing on special teams."

Chris played on special teams and also got a few snaps on the line on Saturday and recorded his first two tackles as a Wolverine. 

Don Brown said on Saturday before the game:  Chris Hinton looks like he’s getting closer to where he can help us," Brown said. "Mazi is starting to improve. Getting a little bit more consistency out of him."

Jimmy on his radio show:  "Just right on the precipice of earning more reps," Harbaugh said. "Been practicing well, showing it in practice. They are very close."
