The coaching staff is incapable of using Donovan Edwards properly

There are no excuses and there is no justification for the way that Michigan football is using or misusing Donovan Edwards.

It's like the coaching staff doesn't know it might have the most talented receiving running back in the country. I mean, they have seen him play right?

Sometimes, I seriously wonder. I can't explain it. Edwards went for over 100 yards against Maryland as a freshman and since then, it's like the staff forgot what this dude can do. They threw a bomb to him last season, and I thought that was the start of him being split wide.

However, the coaching staff barely did it anymore. They haven't done it this season unless I missed it, and with the glaring lack of talent in the receiving core, it's indefensible.

Coaching 101 is putting your players in a position to do what they do well, and in terms of being a receiver, Michigan fooball has almost never done that with Edwards.

How many angle routes or option routes has he run in his career? The truth is that Edwards would be a mismatch nightmare if the coaching staff ever decided to use him as such.

But at this point, I have given up hope.

I just know It's going to be frustrating to see him go to the NFL and destroy people in the passing game.
