MICHIGAN IN THE PROS
vertical set is a little off, and keep-
ing my shoulder square [is harder],
those type of things. My punch tim-
ing is a lot better on the left side
than it is on the right side. But it's
just learning and developing those
things, and that's what you have to
do to be successful. … They're not
going to put me in a position if it's
not important."
MICHAEL SCHOFIELD MAKING
PROGRESS IN DENVER
Denver Broncos rookie right tackle
Michael Schofield continues to im-
press in his first year out of Michi-
gan. Schofield is listed as the team's
backup right tackle and is working to
pick up the offense, but he's nearly
a lock to make the team's 53-man
roster.
Schofield was the Broncos' third-
round pick, No. 95 overall.
"I don't pay attention to that at all,"
Schofield told the Associated Press of
the depth chart. "I didn't even look at
it. I'm just trying to work every day,
trying to get better every single day.
I'm just going to go out there and do
whatever I can do to help this team
get better, try to be the best teammate
I can be and prove it every day."
Offensive line coach Dave Magazu
has been impressed with Schofield's
progress and demeanor.
"It's just a matter of him picking up
all the details of the game," Magazu
said. "Being an offensive lineman in
this offense isn't an easy thing, but
he's smart enough and tough enough
athletically. So we're really happy
with the progress he's made."
