Hello, fan of an NFL team. MGoBlog excruciatingly scouts every Michigan play, and scores them to inform our coverage. Since mi atleta es su atleta now, here we share what we're sharing. QUICKLY: Bear-strong, non-fat, no frills nose tackle. DRAFT PROJECTION: Late 1st to 2nd Round. NFL COMP: Haloti Ngata. Huge, strong, freakishly athletic doubles-eater who could get low, and created a lot more sacks than he collected early in his career, but developed as a pass-rusher as he went along. WHAT&#...

[This article was originally published on December 15, 2020. Two years and two weeks ago Michigan was in search of a new defensive coordinator, and possibly about to be in search of a head coach. The hottest new defense for stopping the hot new spread offenses proliferating through the Big XII was that pioneered by Iowa State's Matt Campbell and his DC Jon Heacock, who were the hottest names at the time for Michigan's opening/hypothetical opening. That was enough, at the time, for you...

The freshman class that Michigan signed last week is ranked 17th in the 247 composite rankings, 17th to Rivals, and 19th to On3, The class has, pending their pursuit of 5-star Nyckoles Harbor in the later signing period, zero top-100 players. This is quite clearly below the level Michigan normally recruits at. To have a class like that after a second straight year of beating Ohio State by three scores, winning the Big Ten championship, and going to the Playoff is, without question, a disappointm...

The day after Michigan crushed Ohio State in Columbus last fall, Luke Fickell was announced as the Badgers' new head coach, and two Badger commits, 6'3"/290 DT Roderick "Trey" Pierce III and 6'2"/320 NT Jamel Howard, reopened their recruitments. On Wednesday night Michigan completed the first half of an attempted double-flip of Wisconsin's DT class. Pierce, the higher-ranked one, has been rising over the cycle. When he committed to Wisconsin last May he wa...

The UFR Glossary. Substitution Notes: Edge was the most interesting; Morris and Upshaw were the starters and played 2/3 of snaps but Okie rotated in for 4-down fronts and outplayed McGregor and Upshaw. D.Moore came in to pass rush when Morris was inside. Paige started over Moore then rotated drives with Moten. CBs were the usual Turner/Green with Johnson spelling each for a drive. Sainristil came off for an extra DL when Iowa went to 2WR sets. LBs were mostly Colson and Barrett but Rolder and Mu...

BEFORE WE GET STARTED War never changes, but the preview posts do. We've held onto the idea that a 3-4—really a 5-2 since one of your starting "OLBs" is 292 pounds—is not really a thing in 2022 even if Michigan says it is. They did last year, and we didn't believe them, and then they ran out one linebacker for big chunks of the Michigan S...
