Things Discussed: Iowa: are they going to zone us? We think Michigan has that in the arsenal, just haven't had to use it yet. Michigan's run game: TEs and RBs have often been the guys screwing it up. Problems haven't been moving guys off the LOS. Tactical issues with one-man power because defense isn't buying it. Offense hasn't punished safeties triggering on run action either, because they haven't really had to. Hardly any shots downfield at Buchanan vs quarters safeties. Attacking Iowa: they can really key down on your best WR, might not be able to hand two. Hansen's return: looked good. Might be a difference-maker with Beigel out. Tariq Boney: HOLY COW. He was blowing up runs at the EOH drive to give Michigan a chance to drive for a lead at halftime. He got to the QB before Meadows. Sam: He's just a dude that plays angry. NFL has been underrating smaller guys because they've been obsessed with measurements, and then B-Graham wins a Super Bowl. Against most defensive lines Michigan should be able to move people. Wish we had Sprague and Beigel for this game. Hoffman struggled early in the year, next man up: Eli Owens? Roddy's trial: Don't know. Think he gets good news this week, could be bad news next week. NCAA is just shooting themselves in the foot trying to fight this: they gave everybody a 5th year who was on a roster in 2020, and they give everybody a 5th year in the 2023 class and beyond, so it's just the 2021 and 2022 guys who have to live by the old rules? Why stand so hard on this? It's just a small class of players who make your product better.

Offense vs UTEP Starts at 0:54 Well eventually that's what it should've looked like. UTEP had a lot of their yards on one drive but negative yards in the second half. If the events of this game had happened in a different order, it would've felt better (Michigan's win % on ESPN only got down to 92.7%). Beck made some nice technical decisions, the offense adjusted a lot to what the defense was giving them. From experience, Brian thinks Sprague has Norovirus. This would've been a nice game to give Babalola a chance. Michigan simplified things to reduce the frippery in the run game. UTEP tried to be Oklahoma on defense and it worked for about a drive and a half. Michigan saw a stacked box and started throwing it. Travis Johnson saw his first real play time and looked nice. Even when Bryce's throws aren't perfect his receivers are night and day from last year so let them go and make a play. Is some of the blocking a result of Playbook-Itus? Andrew Marsh wouldn't have been practicing sweeps much last year. Is stretch also an under-practiced play? The Marshall-cat worked all three times. How much of Hiter's fumble was his fault? It was helmet to ball but his posture was high. Bryson Kuzdzal came in after the fumble because Jordan Marshall was dinged up and on a pitch count. There was an Owens cat! Beigel does move people but doesn't combo. They were eventually so good at stretch last year and it feels a little bit like they threw away its development. Their best lineman isn't utilized in power. It seemed pretty clear that they were intentionally trying to give Andrew Marsh the ball, he's not been targeted much in the first two games. Catch and run slants could be a dangerous tool and help out the rest of the run game. We're seeing the extent of the wide receiver depth chart and getting more guys involved. Poor Ffrench. Tommy Carr probably would've started on either Sherrone Moore team. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Defense vs UTEP Starts at 56:43 Defensively that was what you would've wanted to see. There were a couple big plays and other than that UTEP didn't do anything. Michigan's defensive line got held up a bit in the first two drives and then after that the defensive line had free paths to the quarterback. They run into Tariq Boney twice and he blows up the play. Is he more like Josiah Stewart than Josh Uche? Cam Brandt is a defensive tackle now?? Suddenly the defensive ends are like seven deep? Lea'ea touchdown because he back-tracked on a screen! We will still be complaining about Wink Martindale 20 years from now. The Mouton comp of Troy Bowles is prevalent. The linebackers had a slow day since the defensive line was having their way. Zeke Berry was injured so Shamari Earls started, he's almost there. You can see why Snowden was a star. Was the second UTEP touchdown supposed to be Bracy's guy to cover? Give Tommy Carr a number that looks like Cam Brown's so you can do a fake punt. 3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, and Game Theory Starts at 1:20:15 Takes hotter than Michigan's offense in the second half for the first time all year. 49 yard field goal feels good, we thought Butkowski would max out at 45 yards. That was a silly opening kickoff where Kuzdzal had to field it. Andrew Marsh fielded a punt over his shoulder with a gunner that could've gone poorly. UTEP, you can kick a field goal or onside it but don't do both! Michigan had nice time management in the first half. Only four penalties! Most of these holds wouldn't be called if Aidan Hutchinson was on the field. It's fun that the kickoff team pumps up the crowd now. What was up with the roughing the passer penalty? UTEP went through all of their timeouts faster than we've ever seen. Let's talk about Ole Miss going for two against LSU since it's interesting. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:54:59 Lightning Round: Minnesota 41, Akron 7 Penn State 55, Buffalo 13 Wisconsin 54, EMU 10 Ohio State 59, Kent State 3 Illinois 48, Southern Illinois 10 Iowa 55, Northern Iowa 0 Washington 48, Eastern Washington 16 Indiana 38, Western Kentucky 0 Nebraska 34, North Dakota 7 Oregon 84, Portland State 0 USC 43, Rutgers 35 This was... not a fluke?? Rutgers was moving the ball all game. USC won this because of a pick six at the goal line. This might be the most stunning indictment of Lincoln Riley's ability to build a defense. We're comparing USC to Boston College and UMass?? This seems to say a lot more about USC than it does about Rutgers. Northwestern 41, Colorado 7 This was not listed in the lightning round because the yardage here was much closer than the score. Colorado was -3 in turnover margin. If Aidan Chiles can throw the ball then that changes things. This was Northwestern's last game at the beach stadium! Michigan State 10, Notre Dame 27 Closer to what we expected from Michigan State this year. MSU had 167 total yards and 53 of them came off of one pass play. They're running the right plays, they just don't have the athletes to run them. UCLA 52, Purdue 38 Nico Iamaleava is a gazelle of a human. Purdue's defense looks abominable. Semaj Morgan had four catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns. This game had 1133 total yards of offense. UCLA's defense looks as shaky as USC's. Maryland 26, Virginia Tech 35 Maryland has 2.8 YPC with their running backs. They can't get away from James Franklin. Sorry Maryland, this is just who you are.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
ADA Jennifer Sprague argued Lindsay Clancy did not want her life anymore. She was depressed. She was exhausted. She was done. She did not want to try anymore. The prosecution's theory is that Lindsay killed her three children — Cora, Dawson, and Callan — because they were her protective factor. As long as they were alive, she could not kill herself. Removing them was the plan.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was in the room when Sprague made that argument to a jury of nine mothers and three men. He joins Tony Brueski to assess whether it landed — or whether it sounded like a prosecutor telling a room full of parents that a sick mother resented her own children.The defense painted a different picture. Kevin Reddington argued Lindsay was a labor and delivery nurse who named her daughter Cora after the first baby she ever delivered. She sought treatment from multiple providers. She was prescribed over a dozen psychiatric medications in months. She documented her declining mental state in a journal whose handwriting deteriorated as the medications piled up. Reddington called the prosecution's case repulsive.Bob walks through both arguments from inside the courtroom — how Sprague built the resentment theory, how Reddington dismantled it, and which version the parents on the jury appeared to absorb. He also addresses the question millions of mothers watching this case are asking: where is the line between being overwhelmed and being broken?Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy told evaluators a male voice appeared for the first time on the afternoon of January 24, 2023. The voice told her this was her last chance — kill the children and then herself. It lasted roughly eighteen minutes. It stopped the moment the children were dead. She has not reported hearing it since.The prosecution's own expert Gregory Saathoff called that pattern unusual. Command hallucinations do not typically appear once and vanish. Defense experts Paul Zeizel and Phillip Resnick both testified the voice was consistent with postpartum psychosis. Resnick called Clancy a puppet and categorized the killings as altruistic filicide — killing out of a belief she was protecting her children from suffering without her.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski as the jury deliberates in Plymouth Superior Court. They disagree on this case and dig into what the defense actually proved — and whether a jury of nine women and three men can convict after hearing it.Reddington blamed the medications and the doctors. Sprague blamed the woman who made a choice. The jury is deciding which version they believe.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun took the stand for the prosecution to prove Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her three children. He told the jury it was a serious suicide attempt accompanied by killing the children out of love. He said Clancy retained moral awareness — but his own language characterized the motive as love, not deliberate cruelty.A second prosecution expert, forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff, agreed on the stand that the prosecution's own opening statement minimized what Clancy had endured. Saathoff also pointed to inconsistencies in Clancy's account of the command hallucination she described — including that the voice appeared for the first time on the day of the killings and stopped the moment the children were dead.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski as the jury deliberates. They see this case very differently and get into where the prosecution landed after four weeks of testimony and closing arguments.Sprague told the jury Clancy planned it, calculated the window, and made a rational choice. She called the children broken toys left on the basement floor.The jury — nine women and three men — deliberated for three and a half hours on day one with no verdict.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution's own forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun told the jury Lindsay Clancy killed her children out of love — a serious suicide attempt where she could not bear to leave them behind. Heilbrun said she was criminally responsible, but his characterization of the motive cut against the prosecution's theory of premeditated cruelty.Forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff, also testifying for the prosecution, agreed under questioning that the state's opening statement minimized what Clancy had been going through. Saathoff found what he called significant inconsistencies in Clancy's account of the voice she says commanded the killings.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski live as the jury deliberates.

Reddington showed the jury a small box Lindsay and Patrick Clancy bought on their honeymoon. Over the years they'd filled it with folded slips of paper — wishes for healthy and successful children. Clancy wiped away tears at the defense table as Reddington read them aloud.Reddington also accused prosecutors of calling Clancy's suicide attempt fake. He held up a book titled "Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts" that a provider gave Clancy, and said law enforcement missed pill bottles at the scene that he and Patrick found themselves. He called her a nurse, a wife, and "a darn good mother" who did nothing wrong until the medical system failed her.ADA Sprague's closing took the opposite approach. She conceded Clancy was mentally ill, then argued the killings were "a choice she made." Her strongest point: in December 2022, Clancy told her family about thoughts of harming her children but lied to every doctor who asked. Sprague said that concealment proves she knew those thoughts were wrong. The jury began deliberating August 27 with four verdict options, including manslaughter.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution began its closing arguments by acknowledging Lindsay Clancy was mentally ill, but pointed out that she had an “abundance of help” and was in a privileged position. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague told jurors that Clancy lied to health care providers, lied to her husband, friends and family., telling them she was getting better. Sprague at one point, even made a comparison to Andrea Yates, saying Yates tried to commit suicide twice to try and protect her children, until the judge intervened. The prosecution ended by saying Clancy left her children “discarded on the basement floor, like broken toys, because she was done playing the game.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, is now hearing the state's closing argument. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington has built her defense around an insanity claim rooted in postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague spent her closing dismantling that narrative point by point. She told jurors Clancy had more support than most new mothers ever get — 18 weeks of maternity leave, family on both sides, and access to care most people can't afford. Sprague didn't deny Clancy was depressed. She just argued depression isn't the story here, and that the providers who treated her did the best they could with what they were told. Which, Sprague pointed out, wasn't much — Clancy never once told a provider she was having thoughts of harming her kids, because she was afraid the police would take them away. Sprague framed that fear as the opposite of psychosis: a rational, calculated act of self-preservation. On the medication question, she was blunt — two prescriptions, no overmedication, and no doctor ever documented signs of psychosis. Her conclusion: Clancy chose to kill her children before she tried to kill herself. Premeditated. Rational. Not a break from reality — a decision.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The state closed its case against Lindsay Clancy this week, and Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague didn't waste time on subtlety. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington has spent the trial arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis, compounded by psychiatric overmedication.Sprague's closing went straight at that argument's foundation. She reminded jurors that Clancy had 18 weeks of maternity leave, support from family on both sides, and access to mental health treatment most people never get close to. Yes, she was depressed — Sprague conceded that much. But she argued the providers treating Clancy weren't negligent; they worked with what they were told, and Clancy never told a single one of them she was having thoughts of hurting her children. Why not? Fear the state would take her kids away. Sprague turned that fear into her strongest weapon, calling it evidence of a woman who understood exactly how wrong her thoughts were. She also took aim at the overmedication theory directly, noting Clancy was on only two medications at the time and that no doctor ever flagged signs of psychosis. Her closing line to the jury: this wasn't psychosis, it was premeditation — Clancy killed her children first, then tried to kill herself.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. Deliberations are expected soon in Plymouth Superior Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
