Feel free to name the Michigan defense.

Wolverines feel comfortable with simpler approach on defense

As far as the Michigan defensive players are concerned, feel free to call their scheme whatever you'd like.
After all, all they want is improvement over what was a forgettable defensive performance last season.
While they are talking about being versatile and situational, the Wolverines' base will be a 3-3-5 -- three down linemen, three linebackers and five defensive backs.
Well, at least it seems it will be a 3-3-5.
"You can say 3-3 whatever, but seriously, it's like our own defense," Michigan defensive lineman Greg Banks said after the spring game. "As a unit, we're coming together. It's fun. I like it. We're doing different things, I'm inside, I'm outside. We've got different guys playing different positions. When it comes to this fall, we're going to surprise people."
Banks said initially the defenders were perplexed.
"At first, everybody's skeptical," he said. "We're all like, 'Man, we keep switching defenses, we don't know what we're playing, we don't have an identity.' And this year we're making our own, totally new defense that nobody has seen before.
"I guess you could say it's a bit of a situational defense. You've got to be able to adjust. You adapt to your offensive personnel. You can call it anything, but it's the formation of a lot of things."
It seems the only thing consistent among the defensive players is that they don't know what to label their defense.
"I don't know (what to call it)," said defensive end Ryan Van Bergen. "It's got some aspects of a 3-3-5, some aspects of a 4-3 ... it's just our Michigan defense right now. It's putting the best 11 guys out there who can play defense together and I really like it like that. It's really interesting to see a group of 11 guys and then we just sort it out from there.

sounds like a formula for success to me

when you suck ass one year, move everyone around so that they are all playing new positions, it's not like it takes time to learn a defense and get good at it or anything

I think the only people that are going to be surprised next fall are the fans when they realize that yes, the defense really is this bad and yes, the talent level at Michigan really has dropped this much in just three years

whenever Rodriguez gets fired (may it be a long, long time) those stupid fucks are really going to know what its like to have an "empty cupboard"... especially on defense

Watch the slant that went for a TD in their spring game...garbage...Emilien was out of position and Roy Roundtree blew him away. I know why we went cold on him. I know he was injured but he looked slow to me. Kovacs...seriously...big heart but little skills. Wolfolk...bring him on anyday.

This is total hype. Their defense has no depth or talent IMO. They will get burned by teams that use their TE's...Ezeh and Mouton surely can't check a TE and their safeties are a joke.

My advice to any team playing Michigan is to eat their defense up with your TE's and run the ball down their throat because they lack depth.

Maybe TP will be nailing the coffin on Roh in the 1st half of this years game.

Hey cockbreath, you know what that white stuff is on top of chicken shit? It's chicken shit. Line up however the hell you want to, you still have to play after they snap the ball Mary.

You mental defectives gave up over 33 ppg last year with Brandon Graham on the team. He's gone and you guys are just going to invent some new defense and be ok huh? GTFO

It all goes back to the team taking on the personality of the head coach. You hire a scheme coach and the whole team starts thinking its only about scheme and there is zero importance given to talent and execution.

'We're going to keep things simple, we're going to let you guys go out and play football just like in high school. You bring the high school element back, a lot of people start having fun again."

Sooooo...tSUN's now theorizing that putting a high school-level football team on the field vs. Big Ten competitors is going to be fun?

Have they confused "simple" with simple-minded?

tSUN's New Defensive Scheme Applies the Rule of K.I.S.S:
Keep It Simple=Stupid!
