Better not over blitz, will work against average to poor teams but as we learned from dr.Blitz Don Brown, the elite teams will defeat that scheme.

As you just said, the word on Wink was he blitzed too much. Hopefully, he made some changes.

@@lucasf8144 The comment was a homage to the 2 great D Line leaders, that they themselves are freak talents, (did I word this wrong?🤔)and could bulldoze their way through any opposing O Line, the "not so hypothetical 2 vs 5-6, draw double teams"...let alone the other great talent the opposition should fear. (I did not include Josiah, or any ultra Edge talent..that was the point) mentioned by you. Everyone misreads a statement once and a while, so you must have skimmed it. Not "the entire", but a compliment to the 2 undisputed DL leaders. On the Edge, and the many positions therein, an entirely different set of complimentary "pearls here, Pacino ..." have received full gratitude, and will continue to do so. Anyway, yes!

Wink will be as agressive as he needs to be. When you don't have good pass rush from your D-line, you have to blitz more. We shouldn't have that problem. I expect the D will look a lot like last year.

We haven’t seen how he’ll run his defense vs college offenses so this is purely speculation

There is no such thing as too aggressive... The whole purpose of an aggressive defense is to sell to the offense is "it's not going to go down the way you think" I played corner, they call it today, when I played coming up out of Ann arbor, I'm kind of giving my age away - but there were no such thing as cornerbacks you were just the defensive back assigned to the edge. Then eventually being courted over to the offense, as a slot receiver, and that's where I flourished... I know this for the time that I played cornerback, the quicker you can scare the offense into making dumb-ass decisions, on a completely repetitive basis - the quicker the game was over period. I'm thinking Martindale has the muse at the college level having come from the pros - light em up quickly, and have the depth to cycle through the whole game - all four quarters. I tell you this, I am looking forward to seeing Martindale's defense! M Go Blue 🏈

The public school system has neglected Ann Arbor football. Growing up in Burns Park, it was played in the playground, at Tappan we had 2 light wt., 2 middle weight, 1 light heavy weight and 1 heavy weight. I learned more about business, loyalty, respect and overstepping reticence than in any course. I improved the culture by weathering hardship. Now with NIL, it's a shame A2 football denies local talent, esp. for African/Americans.

I really hope Martindale doesn't turn into Don Brown 2.0. Putting the corners into bad spots was the reason why we lost against OSU.

Wink had a comment about the comparisons between them stop there, other than their age. Wink has coached in the NFL, unlike Brown, I think they'll be more nuances to the blitz.

@scottlaux6934 10 күн бұрын

Its great having Wink- BUT he needs to scale back the blitzes. His blitzy D's with the giants were weak. He should learn from his students, who surpassed him- McDonald and Minter. Michigan will have a great seconday. Our D line will be fantastic.

@DS-gz1qn 10 күн бұрын

Giants didn't have the horses to run with the competition... Had to manufacture pressure with bringing heat. I'm sure he recognized the talent on this team before signing up and he doesn't have to go as heavy blitz.

Scale back from what? You haven't even seen him coach a game yet.

@anthonydavis4788 10 күн бұрын

I'm not going to lie. As a fan of the Champs. I love the Wink hire considering the thought of maintaining the same system that made us successful, but it is a part of me that's thinking about the Don Brown system. The same system that Ryan Day killed us with. We can say what we want about Ohio's head coach, but his offense makes me hold my breath when they take the field, and that's simple the truth.

@majiinbuu4689 7 күн бұрын

Ohio State always makes me hold my breath whenever we play them . I respect them a lot even though they’re our most hated rival. I never relax when Ohio State is on the other side.

The scheme. The scheme. The scheme. With the collection of DBs we have, Wink can blitz every down and we would still be rhe stingiest defense in college football.

I don't think any freshmen are going to be playing db/cb or safety in Michigans defense. Did you see the dbs Michigan picked up in the portal and the guys who were on the roster definitely know the system and got play time.

@@YourAverageFan all of the portal dbs was starters . The dbs on the team this year had played last year (besides freshman who are incoming). ... It's almost like you're discreating players cause they didn't start the game. The Don wasn't a starter but he scored multiple TDS that won Michigan games, Moore , Stewart and grant wasn't starters but they were on the field on the final play of the rose bowl . I think Michigan will be just fine.

@@DS-gz1qn It’s not even about starters lmao. Please watch the games. There’s also a difference between contributing and just not playing. Also being a starter at Albany is completely different than being a starter at Michigan.

@DS-gz1qn 3 күн бұрын

@@YourAverageFan I watch all the games and still the discreating of guys who contributed big and waited behind monsters to play. Yes Albany isn't Michigan but good play translates to any level of play. You might be right but for a person who has a picture of denard as your pic, why not think positively about what could happen. You could be wrong too and the secondary will be the best, will you still be so negative and say well he's from Albany and that guy only played 47% of the snaps the yr before. Just trying to make sure you keep the same energy. You probably wasn't high on the kid from Massachusetts that transferred in last year either, or liked any of the 2* or 3* recruits who out played other teams 4*& 5* recruits.
