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'S HIS STORY? Poke a Michigan fan in 2018-'20 and you'd get a lecture on (the history of Western warfare and) defensive tackle recruiting. Mo Hurst graduated after 2017, they recruited a couple of guys for 2019, and we sat around wringing our hands for a few years asking when the couple of the guys from 2019 would be ready. Mazi Smith was the lower ranked, and the one expected to be further from the field because he needed to slim down before building back up. The recruiting profile

[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 your hot new football strategies-obsessed author to write a primer on the defense, what personnel it uses, and how it works. This 3-3-5 Flyover defense has since been adopted, more or less intact, by TCU coordinator Joe Gillespie. TCU runs it with "more interchangeable" linebackers, which is to say they couldn't find a faster WLB to fulfill that role. This relative lack of athleticism in the ILBs in a system that demands it from at least one of them is the reason why, as Alex Drain
