Anthony Solomon entering the transfer portal got me thinking about hybrid defensive players. Solomon and Mohan were under recruited for Michigan's purposes when Don Brown was running the defense because he had a position (viper) that was essentially an undersized linebacker who didn't have to be great in coverage. The position required toughness and straight line speed and linebacker skills in a safety body. That position does not exist for most defenses, including our current defense.

Things discussed: Georgia mindset: They got 2018 Ohio State gamed vs Bama, think they’re going to beat Michigan and lose to Bama again. Hoping there’s some non-linear stuff going on: What UGA does to offenses in the 30s or 50s may not be what they do to a Top 5 group. Michigan has to get their explosive plays, a la Wisconsin. They’re 2018 Michigan on defense, if Ryan Glasgow was 6’6”/340. Want to put 8 in the box and cover 1. Dealing with Davis? Trap trap trap trap. Want to see a great...

Sleeper from Belleville. That’s literally all I knew about the Michigan linebacker when he suddenly became a top target. He visited with the rest of the Victors Weekend contingent and pledged the night of Juneteenth. That occurred with little fanfare, outside of a pocket of people extremely excited for the end of the bad old days of Michigan feuding with former Tom Wilcher assistant Jermain Crowell. This is the guy who built Belleville into one of the biggest suburban Detroit powers right on...

In follow-up to the diary I posted comparing the 2011 and 2021 starters, I am going to take another crack at trying to convince my fellow mgobloggers that Coach Clinkscale has some talent at cornerback to work with, and by the late October,  we both may be surprised by who is starting amf the quality of their play.

This is a three month fall camp where you apparently didnt teach anyone anything. You got obliterated by Ohio State two years ago and saw y...
