Neck Sharpies: I Want More from Edwards

There's not a lot to gripe about when Michigan has played thirteen games, won thirteen games, and is the #1 seed in the Playoff. But we're going to find a way to do it anyways, because the usage of Donovan Edwards this season has been a consistent annoyance. As good as Harbaugh and his assistants have been about finding ways to crack defenses with tight ends, it's hard to get over the thought that they're wasting a five-star tool in Edwards who could be so much more. This was a point Brian made in the game column: What are we doing with Donovan Edwards? There were a number of plays on which Iowa showed man-to-man coverage with Edwards split out. Edwards invariably motioned back into the backfield when this happened. They never took a shot at Edwards, or even looked him up on a slant. Even more frustrating were times when Iowa would show and run man coverage and Edwards would leak out of the backfield and sit down in front of a linebacker. One angle route there and Edwards is running for a million yards. I don't know; it just seems like something is off with him. And the coaches. He's barely been used in the pass game. #1 must fix before the 'Bama game. Alabama has lockdown corners; Edwards needs to be a factor. So I thought we'd use this space to talk about this play and some others that have us questioning how Michigan deploys this backfield weapon, and how they could probably do a better job of using his actual skills.

B1G Championship Game Fee Fi Foe Film: Iowa Defense 2023

Previously: Iowa Offense  Now that we got the dystopian portion of the program out of the way, let's turn our attention to the Iowa defense. They roll into Indianapolis having wrestled the #1 SP+ ranking away from Michigan and Ohio State, who were too good at offense last week to hang onto the pole position defensively. Should've tried playing six games against the B1G West this season.    The Film: Like the offense piece, there are significant injuries to factor in when analyzing the Iowa defense. Though not as severe in volume, the loss of star corner (and punt return extraordinaire) Cooper DeJean was a tough blow for the Hawkeyes as DeJean almost certainly would've been given the Dangerman designation in this piece. DeJean's injury was sustained in November, so it limited me to only a few options. That said, I don't think Iowa has faced a single good offense all season, so this was slim pickings regardless. Factoring in time considerations, I decided to go with Illinois, a recent game against a team whose offense has been surprisingly productive in November (they scored 48 on Indiana and 43 on Northwestern).  Personnel: Click for big.  The least flashy part of the Iowa defense has been the defensive line for a few years running and that remains the same this season. Not bad, just not as impeccable as the rest of the defense. They lost flash-and-dash pass rusher Lukas Van Ness to the NFL Draft's first round, leaving their pass rush talent good but not great, starting with Joe Evans, the stand-up EDGE who sometimes drops into coverage. He starts opposite Deontae Craig, but Ethan Hurkett is close to functional starter status. All three of those names have logged at least 450 snaps this season, so on a defense without a ton of rotation, the EDGE position is the only one that resembles Michigan in its rotation of virtually indistinguishable co-starters. There is a fourth name at this position, Max Llewellyn, but he is firmly a backup with 111 snaps this year. Tackle was the position of relative weakness that Michigan was able to take advantage of in last year's meeting in Iowa City. I do think this year's tackle group is better than last year's but still not a strength per se. I like Logan Lee, who showed good burst/explosion to swim in the backfield and gum up the run. He gets a star, but the other players are merely solid to good. Yahya Black might be the weakest starter on the defense, while Ethan Hurkett rotates in. I like Hurkett more as a pass rusher but had some vulnerabilities against the run, while Black profiles on PFF as the reverse. Jeremiah Pittman is the fourth name but like Llewellyn, he's sparingly used and a major downgrade from the main characters.  The LB level lost first round pick Jack Campbell off last year's team but continues to fire at an extremely high level thanks to elevated starters Nick Jackson and Jay Higgins. Both are playing tremendous football this season, both ranking among the top 15 highest graded LBs in the country who have played at least 50% of team snaps, per PFF. They haven't merely played 50% of team snaps, Higgins/Jackson play nearly every snap for the Iowa defense while the game is competitive. Kyler Fisher comes on in 4-3-4 situations against two TEs and seems fine (I didn't see much of him because Illinois was playing out of 11).  It's the secondary position that's deadly, even without DeJean. The loss of the star corner means the outside corners are not stars, but they are still fine players. That would be Deshaun Lee, who rose up the depth chart with DeJean's injury, and the veteran Jermari Harris. Harris, along with the aforementioned Logan Lee, are the only starters from the 2021 unit that faced Michigan in Indy left on this Iowa defense. Both Lee and Harris are good and had strong games against Illinois, but a notch below "CASH" (nickel/HSP) Sebastian Castro, who has been incredible. With a 90.6 PFF grade, he is tied for the 4th highest graded defender anywhere in the FBS, which garnered him the Dangerman designation. The safeties feature one returning starter, the excellent Quinn Schulte, with one talented ingénue, former 5* Xavier Nwankpa. Schulte has taken a step forward from last year and Nwankpa is looking like what you'd imagine "5* safety coached by Phil Parker" to look like. Damn good!
