Wolverine Wednesday: Pep Traded To The Giants

Jabrill Peppers was traded last night to the NY Giants for OBJ and a number of draft picks.   Normally, you would think this would be a good thing for Pep, but Cleveland is shaping up to be a very good team in the AFC and now the Giants are in re-building mode.  

The one positive is NYC is a much better place to live and a very high profile market.  If Pep is used correctly, he could become an NFL star playing in New York.  Pep also grew up in NJ and now much closer to home.

Former Spartan LeVeon Bell is also heading to the big city, as he will sign a contract with the Jets today.  The deal will make him the 2nd highest paid RB after Todd Gurley.  After sitting out a year, Bell wanted to reset the RB market and that didn't happen.   Which means he made a mistake losing $14M last year.   I wonder what type of shape he is in?  He did spend a lot of time in Miami while not playing last season.

• The latest FBI sting is now focusing on rich people trying to bribe coaches of smaller sports at high academic schools to get their kids admitted.   This is clearly a shot a the "old boys network".

• Per James Light on Twitter from a recent coaching clinic:  Ed Warriner talked about how UM became more of an Outside Zone/Pin & Pull team because Higdon was so good in that scheme. Ed said he personally favors tight zone, but wanted to run what Higdon did well.
