Ugly

yeah i hate the alignment we are using on defense .. what is it?
a 3/4 0r a 3/5 Bam what the heck are we running on defense because its not even close to working..

Running a lot of nickel (5 DBs) with a 3 man front.

We're seeing the same problems today we saw with the 3-3-5 under Greg Robinson.

In a nutshell, the best 3 man (3-4 OR 3-3-5) fronts rely on bringing pressure from the second level; the benefit is it's tougher for QBs to see where the pressure is coming and more difficult for the C (or whomever calls the blocking schemes) to read what's coming and from where.

Under Greg Robinson, Michigan had a 3 man front being run by a 4-3, Cover 2 defensive coordinator (VERY minimal blitzing). So you had a defense that relies on blitzing being run by a man who didn't understand blitzing.

Today, 3 man fronts, linebackers in the second level waiting to read the play, getting locked down by OL, and whiffing on tackles.

The fact that Durkin drew up this defensive plan should disqualify him from being a head coach anywhere else in the country, but it's motivated me to rent the truck and drive it to College Park, MD myself.

All we have left is a wing and a prayer. ...

The defensive game plan is a fucking disaster. Shades of the Rich Rod era. This game is over even if we score here. Why is it no one else had problems stopping the OSU offense, but we do. They lost because of turnovers. We havent even turned the ball over or got one for that matter.

 

[bamf_16]

They score TDs, UM scores FGs.

 

[bphillips4gg]

That's something. Needed 3 scores, had to get the points.

A fucking field goal? What kind of pussy shit is this?

 

[biggunsbob]

Our coordinator stinks inside the 20 today..

in my opinion 3 man fronts just do not work..

It's smart. If we hadn't gotten the touchdown, we'd be 3 scores down with less than a quarter to go. A FG at least gets us within range if the D steps up

 

[bamf_16]

At this point, let's just take 5 of UM's 15 offensive linemen that weigh over 300 pounds, put them in the game, and just tell them who they hit as soon as the ball is snapped.

Just go with a goaline DL and have the LBs shoot the gaps. Sitting back on this is dying a slow death of a million cuts.

I cant understand this at all, its disgusting. This motherfucker knew what Meyer would do today and he still has called the wrong game.

 

[Monster]

Bolden missed ANOTHER FUCKING TACKLE. holy fuck

 

[bphillips4gg]

Their front like on their return team is peeling off early. Might be too late, but if Michigan scores again, it's something to think about.

 

[bamf_16]

Well, so much for Rich Rod to Va. Tech.

 

[gobluebigjon]

Bolden is just awful

Looks like that's not working out for us

Yup.. Maddening how bad our defense has been since the three shutouts..

 

[gotime909]

OSU might run for 300 today

Guess I gave the Michigan defense too much credit. Should've said 400.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

Hey everyone, Brady Hoke is still coaching. 12 men on the field

 

[gobluebigjon]

Michigan has been confused defensively all game
